This is the 2nd or 3rd "Aid the Planet" mission I have received. This one is...
"System Kappa Pictoris U877- Gamma Relief"
After I agree to deliver aid and I move toward the planet - nothing happens. No pop up window asking me if I want to beam down. As I move to the planet everything turns white as I float around in the atmosphere.
This has been the case with every mission I've accepted with the objective, "Aid the Planet".
Are these missions bugged?
My last 3 petitions to GMs have been ignored, so I thought I would find better luck getting an answer on the forums.
No. they're not bugged. I think you're not doing that mission right, but am about to bounce for a few hours so someone will hopefully explain in detail. You don't beam down to the planet foor those. You either have the required items, so click a window. Or you need to get the required items. And then get the window and box to click.
Ya know, I don't recall EVER completing an Aide the Planet mission. By the time I buy the 10 things they want, I forgot who wanted what and end up deleting the missions! They really are a waste of a mission.... More suited for Merchants or Traders, not warships!
I've been doing these today. Out of 4, 2 were bugged. It was another example of me flying into the planets' surfaces without receiving a hail prompt. I posted a vid of it in the bugs sub-forum.
The last time i did one, i was asked to deliver 10 shield generator. Did not have them so i used the replicator button in the inventory. I bought the 10 shield genrator and a window showed up asking if i wanted to deliver them. I never beamed to a planet, just trough the com channel. Never had one bugged.

Thank you very much, I am kinda dissapointed i didn't think of that , appreciate your sharing info and also the duh i needed to get me thinking again haha. Really thanks.
ps. I had no idea they were profit missions, wouldn't even consider paying for supplies since I am close to broke atm. Wondering how people get cash in this game to afford some of the prices being asked.

What? There are replicators in this game? Where? Is this a joke? I'm so confused.

Open your inventory when you're flying around in space. At the bottom of that interface with all your loot there's a replicator button. It's your ship's replicator. You can buy stuff from it (including the items for these missions). And you can sell stuff (though you get better rates at a space station, it's sometimes useful when you don't want to go back to a station and just want to clear bag space and move on).

Good thing Starfleet doesn't build warships, huh?

In STO every ship is a "war" ship

Negative. Some are Warships.
The rest are Targets!
"baH!"
