Mission cancelled itself?!?!

Oct 08, 2004 dygituljunky link
Erm, my mission cancelled itself somehow... I've been playing long enough to know where my fingers are on the keyboard so I don't think that I made a typo...

See the following URL for a screenshot: http://www.deviantart.com/view/11241669/

Thanks.

Hmmm....is there any chance you accidentally hit "1" by accident (yes I know you said you didn't think you made a typo), and by any chance do you still have the cargo?

That screenshot indicates that either you hit "1" and "return/enter" to answer the mission comp's question or noise on the internet combined just right to create the necessary code to send those two keystrokes to the server...

or........a1k0n is missing something in the code between the Q and what to do with the possible answers......nah

i've had missions cancel themselves too. also i've had mission cargo disappear after jumping into another system and some cargo missions that don't load the cargo at all, btw my ship is empty and the missing cargo isn't in the cargo tab either.

Dukar, do you ever use 'j' to jump in the nav screen?
Is there any chance some of these times you've hit 'j' while not in the nav screen?
(Just incase anyone doesn't know j=jump & j=jettison)

I changed the bind from j to J to help avoid that very problem. Less likely to inadvertnetly trigger a cargo dump using <shift> <j>.

no i didn't hit the "j" key, i always use the enter key to jump

I've accedently aborted mission by pressing the 2 then going oh yeah I need to press shift two to open the menu and by then the mission computer has been activiated and then told I was sick and tired of the mission. Ack!
