Cannot complete job

[mobydick]

I had 2 jobs on the same location.

One is to deliver passanger to surface, and one is to get the datapad to spice hall.

I arrived at the planet, go to the surface, but the job won't get attempted. This job was received 2nd, after the datapad contract.

I had to finish datapad contract first, before going to surface and able to unload my passanger.

Yup, you can't do two jobs at the same time. If two jobs are at different locations, you can pick which job you want to do first, but if both jobs are at the same location, then you are forced to do the first job before the second (in order of acceptance).

The backstory explanation is that every contract is actually fulfilled in orbit. The Spice Hall, Palace, Dock, etc are just meeting places. The actual handover of documents, people, etc are done in orbit because it's a more controlled environment ... effectively neutral territory.

That's also the reason why after any contract attempt, you find yourself in orbit rather than back in the urban/wild area.

oo, ok
so it's not a bug! but a feature !

it's a choice I made deep in the inside of how jobs work. I'll fix it in later iterations of ST ... in fact the version I'm working on now doesn't have this design at all
