Missions Broken?

[guideX]

I haven't played Discovery Freelancer for a while, lost all of my ships, trying to build myself up, but missions have a strange bug, when I start a mission, it seems like one will start, but then I go to space, and the guy saying ".. Ships will be at the mission waypoint, refer to the navmap for further instructions.. " type stuff isn't there, also I go to the waypoint, and there's no ships or anything, also I must either kill myself, or dock somewhere, and quit to main menu and come back to abort the mission, as it will not abort normally.

Is there a trick to getting missions to work? Perhaps something wrong with my account, or corrupted? Please help me, thanks!
