I've been playing a lot of missions for the guild reps on space stations and I've noticed something. Occasionally there is a job where the guild rep gives you something that you have to deliver to the terminal at a planetary trading post. Seems straightforward but even though everything goes smoothly and the terminal accepts the delivery and okayed it, the game never shows that task as being completed so I don't get the reward. The message in my log says that I have misplaced the item even though I just delivered it. I end up having to abandon the mission and take a hit to in game credibility with a guild or species. Seems to happen every time regardless of system or item being delivered. Anyone else noticed that with these kinds of missions?

I know that they changed the behaviour of those quests with the expeditions update.
Might be a bug.
Maybe you can do a bug report:

It's been a while since I've done one of these but I seem to recall that, for it to go smoothly, it's sometimes (always?) necessary for that mission to be highlighted in the Log page.

Thanks AlpakaDream and dashiichi.

Yes I'm onto that with missions so I definitely ensured they were highlighted in the log. At this stage I've simply stopped taking on those tasks.

I was just trying to see if anyone else had the same experience. Personally I've never spent much time doing missions but I decided to do them this game. It's only these kinds of missions I've had an issue with.

Turns out that it was a bug, possibly a regression issue, something that worked in previous releases but which was broken, somehow, in the Companions or Expedition release.

From the patch notes (just out): Fixed an issue that prevented delivery missions from registering the delivery as complete.

Have encountered this a few times and on some occasions have noted that the credit for completion was delayed and once or twice I had to launch and was given a new location for the same mission and after landing was given mission credit without having to interact with anything.

I did have one of an earlier mission reappear mysteriously - but that was a photograph a planet task not a delivery. Had the same name and description and sent me to the same planet. It then turned up a 3rd time so I abandoned it and took the hit.
