Planetary Scan Job does not show the target
In the end, I just exit the game to the main menu and entered again. Just after the game loaded, the message arrived and I was able to finish the mission (?).
this can happen with any kind of mission that involves finding the mission location, here is an example scenario:
1. you accepted a planetary scan job mission
2. you either scanned the target system with a scanner or scanned the nav beacon
3. you receiver the message that the mission contact received the system data(or something like that)
4. but you don't see the new location
i had that happen to me a number of times, not with only planetary scan missions
now there are a couple of ways to fix it:
- as you said yourself, log out, log back in
- go super cruise
- knowing elite there is some weird ass dark voodoo magic 3rd way to fix it, but i didn't find it yet
im honestly too lazy to re-log in for a mission, so when i can't find the target location after scanning the initial target, im going to fly away, but as soon as im back to super cruise i get the new target
