Long mission - hard to complete

[RedAdder]

The confeds hate me, so I tried starting a mission for them.

It was scanning 7 nav points and killing pirates. I scanned all 7 nav points(with the confeds hunting me during it), but it seems I didn't complete killing all the pirates, whose objective was invisible to me, because the list of objectives already was so long, I guess.

Then I had to restart the game, because entering and scanning the nebula broke the text displays - all of them started to scroll.

Now I find I still have the mission, but the nav points have changed and I have to scan them again

Just abort the mission at any base and the next time you might find these key bindings handy for tracking down that last bogey

Code: Select all

<bind key="N" modifier="alt" command="ReverseMissionTargetKey" />
	<bind key="n" modifier="alt" command="MissionTargetKey" />

Enjoy the Choice

Ah yes, these hot keys are very useful.

pgup/pgdown scrolls the objective list, along with your other HUD lists.

Yeah, saves don't record mission progress.

Well, I actually think saves DO report mission progress, but since part of the mission or universe is generated randomly, the recorded list doesn't match up with the current mission objectives.
