Cargo stuck - no possible way to deliver?

[CzapkaKloszarda]

I try to explain the situation as simple as I can. I took two "delivery" quests. By loading the cargo on the ship I noticed that I forgot to change the ship and I am still on Federal Assault Ship with way to small cargo rack. I changed then to Type 7 Transporter and took the whole cargo on board. At the time when I was about to plan the route to the destination I realized that the station which I am about to fly to is a "platform station". As we all know "platform stations" doesn't have Large Pads so I won't be able to land over there. That is a problem...

My first idea was to sell the cargo on Black Market and change to ASP Explorer (and rebuild it) after which I would be able to buy the cargo back from the market and deliver it to the destination. No sucess... I can't sell the cargo on black market while having the "delivery order" active.

I can't change to another ship because non of them is capable to take such big cargo.
I am not able to buy another medium-size ship because there isn't any which is able to take such big cargo on board while being on stock setting.

So my question is what can I do now to accomplish the quest and to deliver the merchandise to the destination?


Sorry for my bad English. I am not a native speaker.

I think you are really stuck, and the only way to continue is to abandon the mission. Then you probably will be able to sell the cargo, as it will become stolen after abandoning the mission.

Even if you could dump some cargo, you wouldn't be able to rebuy it from the common market, cause the cargo is mission-specific and can't be replaced.

And if you dump it just outside the station, you still wouldn't be able to swap to another ship to pick it up fast enough, as it will self-destruct after a little while (a few minutes).

Damn! Not only they issue loitering fines, but they also steal the cargo?!..

Down with the authority!

The only real option to save these missions is to wing up with another commander, drop the cargo, have him pick it up, then you buy a medium ship and outfit it for enough space, then go back to the commander and he drops it back for you. I am not even sure the mission would not throw a fit if you did this, but its the only real option. But its probably quicker and easier just to drop the missions.
