On Exploration Missions how are you suppose to find the mission again if you had to leave to purchase items such as shield generators or power cells?

    you should have "continue ... mission" button to the down-right of your HUD

    may have to get close to a system anomaly to see it, though

    I've had the same problem. Although I've done these kind of missions successfully before, there were a couple of times where I couldn't find the planet again so I just dropped the mission.

    Alternatively, I'd like to carry around 20 or so provisions so I'd have enough to do these supply missions straight out. (It's what I do now).

    Is there anything else that these missions ask for? I might consider carrying around a good supply of various items just for these missions.

    I always drop these missions. Not worth the bother or expense. It's easier, faster and cheaper to find another system.

    The drop rate on the provisions versus the cost at vendors versus the reward for the mission really doesnt make these worthwhile. It is something that Crytpic should look at and maybe they are, but its probably really low priority. In closed beta you could 'buy' the supplies from your Replicator, which made a lot more sense. Now that you have to find then as rewards or on cargo transports then cant get back to your mission, its messed up.

    Agreed also I am sure that a replicator can create these for you.

    When you get back into the cluster there is a button on the bottom-right Continue xxxx. That is what you hit to get back to the system the mission is in.

    But the deliver aid missions are just not worth it for the money you pay and the reward you get.

    I always drop them and just go on to the next anomaly.

    Agreed. As you can drop them i see no reason why to even bother with them ...
