hello iv been looking around everywhere and cant find anything about this, i have no idea why but i have played on the RP24/7 server (the only one with lots of players on it) and can never complete any missions picked up at the local bar. so bassically i fly to the mission waypoint (to blow up the enemy station, or to destroy the liberty rogue ships attacking merchants or whatever mission i try) and theres never anything there, like the mission doesnt get triggered by my presence there. it seems i am the only one who encounters this cos everyone i try to talk to in chat ignores me or tells me to keep looking. i even tried flying through the second objective waypoint (which seems to me like it should really be the first) and nothing changed at all. anyway help would be good as i want to progress but cant because being a freighter in the tiny starting ship doesnt appeal to me.
Missions worked fine in 4.87, but got broken somehow in 4.88 on the official/GC server. Since missions do work on at least one of the other 4.88 servers, it is only a matter of time before missions are fixed on the official/GC server.
Meanwhile, use the Beginner restart to get a Sunburst freighter (or simply buy it at Planet Erie for less than $32k), then make your early money by mining helium behind Planet Erie. Check out the tutorials for beginning players.
