Delivery Mission - Where to find cargo.

[Granger]

Long story short, i planned ahead some to pick up cargo from a delivery mission on a later return to the mission giver, then promptly forgot whom i needed to return to.

Unless im missing something obvious, does the mission info not tell you where to pick up your cargo in case you left without (or only a partial load)?

[Brezals]

Not sure about this, but at "transactions" does it not say where the mission was taken?

[Granger]

It doesnt as far i can tell. Theres what group gave me the mission but no info on from where i need to pick the cargo from.

there has been a change to missions mechanic at stations for delivery missions,
If you press panel 1, your left panel, then look into transactions and click on your various missions, each delivery mission has all the information about the pickup system and station. and dropoff system, and station. (this screenshot and footage were taken in beta because I wasn't near a station to get cargo missions on my live account so I hope it helps you and I hope it's also correct, and the same on our live accounts I think it is. ;)

you need to get the cargo from the mission giver at that station there will be a mission at the top of your list.

wtf

I dont have this info on my transactions screen, looks like this. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/441612556767985696/518139067007893517/unknown.png


What gives?

ah then sorry (I was in the new beta) It looks like fdev have made it better in the beta I'm in, and after the update, we will be able to see both pick up area and cargo destination area in the transactions page like in my screenshot
but that doesn't help you at the moment. I stopped taking partial cargo runs because of what your going through, and the extra heat that carrying cargo get you, so I only load one way complete missions for that exact reason, losing track of who your running cargo missions for ( it will be a lot better in the new update and partial loads will be easy to track finally;)
If I was you I would just abandon the missions you can't remember and jettison any cargo as it will become stolen, if you have any surplus cargo not delivered, then you may get a fine that you can clear at an interstellar factors, then start at a fresh station, and maybe make cargo logs, or remember to take screenshots of your mission info, or you could write down, the pickup and destination points of any part delivered cargo missions until its corrected in the next update ;) sorry again Cmdr o7

p.s. there is a software that works with elite dangerous that can tell you what missions you have and where they are going to but I am not sure it will have information on your pickup depot areas in, but it may have that function, Its a great third party app that can be used stand-alone, or as an addon in voice attack as an extra voice and its free :D the app its a voice app that adds extra info and data to complement your ship's computer like a second ships voice

its called Eddi and its free, and great on GitHub here

(that's the free voice software that reads out the scan results, as well as a lot of useful info )

if you really want to find the orign system, look through your ed journal logs. they are in json format but you can quickly do a keyword search to get you in the right part of the logs :)

but if its too much hassel, just drop the mission and get another one :)

[Wolf]

would this be the system? https://eddb.io/faction/13971
looks like they populate 11 systems... not too bad to search :)
