manufacture the corvus widowmaker

I took this mission and it took all the items out of my hold except for 9 premium carbonic ore. It did not tell me it took them out but it did. The mission notes tells me to collect 9 more.

I had a similar problem. I delivered everything except the Carbonic Ore, and the station (Odia J-9) just took the goods without acknowledgement. Then, when I flew in with the 15cu of Carbonic Ore, the station took them, but asked for 9 more. I went and mined a full load of 44cu, and after I docked, there were only 35cu remaining, so the station did take the extra 9. Unfortunately the mission still did not end, so it looks thoroughly broken.

I'm having the same problem, except with 10cu of Carbonic Ore ;)

yup..delivered it all at once and it asks for 10cu more carb.

can someone test these missions to save us the time and stress of them failing ?

So, there was a typo where I required 25 carbonic instead of 15. But the mission should still have been passable. Did anyone actually fulfill all the requests?
Nov 22, 2007 blacknet link
yes, still stuck on 7 or 9 cu's no matter how many i deliver.

I delivered 60 cu's and it still shows 9

Hmm, and you're sure you deliver Premium Carbonic, and not normal Carbonic, right? Dumb question, but I have to be sure. Otherwise.. we have some sort of bug in the delivery mechanism.

Sorry everyone, not sure what the deal is.

I mined another 10cu Premium Carbonic Ore and now the mission won't take the ore at all!?
The ore isn't even removed from the cargo hold, but it still asks for 10cu of carbonic..

Ok, I've re-posted the mission with some fixes. One was that I was asking for more Premium Carbonic than I actually said (although that was reflected in the "remaining count"), the other was that the mission requires Power Regulators and I totally left those off the list. We really need an actual.. Objective System.

This explains why AndiJF's mission did not complete. This does not explain why BlackNet had a remaining count after delivering all of the given item type. But that may be a corner case.. we have a bunch of other missions that use this same mechanism, and work correctly.

Anyway, I've re-posted the mission, so you guys are welcome to give it a shot, at your own risk :). I can't spend the time to test this all properly today, I have too much family stuff with Thanksgiving and all. I could just pull it offline, but I think it'll probably work now.. so I've reposted it with the "in testing" proviso.

I'll look at this all a bit more in-depth tomorrow, if possible, and potentially put out a couple more missions.

Ugh, sorry to hear that, Niki. I'll have to ask Andy about that.

Oh yes mined it myself. premium = mined, regular = bought. HUGE difference.

I retook the mission and I did notice some changes. it now tells you what station to return to and it does handle the ore correctly.

What is the drop rate on the dentek processors? It seems insanely to low, I was able to get 7 in a 2 hour period of time.

I still had the mission active, so (thanks to Incarnate) I was able to go and buy the requisite number of Power Regulators (which is 18 BTW). When I delivered them, the mission completed, and I received the guns in payment.

I didn't find the Dentek processor core drop rate all that low. I only needed two for the mission, and I only had to kill ten or so to get them. I went after Dentek collectors of course...

Wait. It required *18* power regulators? It's supposed to be.. two.
Nov 23, 2007 AndiJF link
Ooops! Sorry, I may be wrong on that. Someone told me in game that it was 18, but now I come to think of it, I didn't confirm the subtraction.

Delivering the two power regulators worked for me and completed the 'old' mission.

I managed to complete this mission as well. It works, it just doesn't update the messages.
