mission vanishes bug

[daveal]

I'm playing the firefly challenge on normal, and I just had some kind of bug.  Fortunately I had just saved a minute before so I can reproduce it.  I have sent the savegame zipfile to [e-mail], subject "mission vanishes save game".

1. Load Captain Tytpints, save slot 3 (level 20)
2. Look in mission log, three missions are there, notice Mounting Pressure in local system, and Internal Pressure
3. Navigate to Mounting Pressure, dock, click the mission button.  This displays:



4. Look in mission log: that mission plus Internal Pressure have vanished from the mission log.

It's not fatal, just annoying.

This is caused by a story event expiring a mission. Exactly the thing we were discussing in another thread that frustrates players

The Duel of Assassins just started and now Calagan's anti-duel missions all expire immediately.

The convergence of these 2 threads turned out for the best (http://startradersrpg.proboards.com/thread/19627/estelles-missions-expire-blocking-missio)

1) Estelle's Era missions expire if they are still in the "mission offer" state, but not if you've accepted them.
2) Calagan's Era missions expire if they are still in the "mission offer" state, but not if you've accepted them.

Thanks for posting and the saved game!

Excellent, happy to help. (BTW IRL I am mostly on your side of this type of conversation so I appreciate your persistence!)
