I constantly have to do missions over and over till the game dicides to give me sredit I hope they fix this soon because it's really starting to get boaring repeating missions.:(
A couple of tips to help prevent that (maybe not 100% but it works fairly well for me).
When you complete the objectives for a mission and get the Message letting you leave the area DO NOT leave yet. Fly around and pickup some Anomalies, or wait 30 seconds to a minute. THEN go ahead and exit.
Since I started doing this I've only had 1 mission fail to complete (but I think that one is actually bugged and not the usual latency glitch)
You don't have to leave the area to turn it in and get credit. When the hail window comes up asking you to depart, hit depart. Another smaller window pops and confirms it. Just hit cancel. Turn in.
I had this problem early on in the game, especially with patrols. I found that it helps to leave the system immediately. I know that contradicts the earlier advice given, but it worked for me. Don't hang around to explore.
Unfortunately there is no hard fast rule to ensuring a mission completion as both suggestions I have noticed can fail.
The problem seems to be in the server actually responding to the clients request for a mission update, sometimes this seems to take several minutes to update your Hail Starfleet window and sometimes not at all.
Looks like the server/client times out and the mission doesn't update and there also would seem to be no secondary check if the mission parameters have been completed which leaves the Player in limbo...

Bottom line is really poor game design...:mad:
