I've had similar issues with the 2nd manufacturing mission, though again the ore was stuff that I recollected after getting popped by bots... If it won't accept such ore, it would be nice for the mission to say so, rather than ingesting it and then freezing up.
Damn it, I am a moron and some mission system fixes didn't make it into production. That's probably what's breaking stuff. If it took your cargo but didn't complete, most likely it was trying to kill a timer and some dumbass thing I did prevents it from continuing after that. I have the fix on the production servers now.
Stuff dropped by dead mining bots is exactly the same as what you get from mining it yourself, but some missions require that you have to mine it yourself in addition. I don't think the manufacturing ones do.
Right now, thses missions are set up such that you can just buy (or obtain by any means) the ore, then go mine the equivalent number of crates to complete both the mining and delivering objectives, so that could be confusing. So if it takes ore that you mined *before* the mission, or got some other way, you have to go mining to complete it.

No, I meant I'd mined it, gotten popped myself, and then collected it and took it to the station.
[Edit]Cool. Wasn't sure given the Dev post above mine whether that was the case, or, whether getting boomed and recapturing the ore was treated like jettisoning it. I'll retake the mission and try again one of these days. I really want that shiny new mineral scanner![/Edit]

Lecter: In the situation you described, the problem was probably with the timer bug. Normally if you mined the requisite ore, got boomed, salvaged that ore or replaced it in any other way, and then delivered it, you'd succeed in that objective.
I mined some more VanAzek (it had to be VanAzek), and the mission completed.
For the intro text in the manufacturing mission:
"That lets us sell to passing trader as a lower cost," should probably be "That lets us sell to passing trader*s* *at* a lower cost".

I just did the missions. They are great...just what mining needed. It's also an exciting step towards crafting. Good work!
