Mindscape can't be completed

I've played the mission Mindscape on my 23c captain twice now. I get through the mission just fine, but when I'm done I find myself outside the Syrellan system facing the message "Begin Mindscape" though I just completed it. After the first attempt two days ago I today dropped the mission and tried again. Same (lack) of result.
I noticed only one discrepancy to normal game play. When I beam on board Cooper's Bio Dreadnaught I only have one Boff with me instead of the usual four.

Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end of it.

Immediate resolution is when Tuvok is talking to you in the 'end zone' after defeating cooper and it offers you the chance to 'depart system', instead:
1. Do Not depart system.
2. Go to your mission journal to "hail Starfleet" before leaving the system. You can hand in the mission there before it tries to reset again on exit.
I hope you have the same success with that method that I did (as recommended by Support to resolve the issue for me).

And given how many problems I have had with completing it - maps not updating and assorted other TRIBBLE - I am not in a hurry to do this a fourth time. The only thing you get is the Vulcan Meditation emote and I don't want it that badly.
Hmm. And I thought my bug was nasty.
You also get the Fluidic ground Assault gun (like the ghostbuster gun, chained exploit) or at least I did on my AoY agent.
Sorry the suggestion didn't help ilithyn, perhaps it needs something reset by support first in order to function again? The Support agent who advised that route didn't say they'd reset anything but did advise that resolution path which worked.
Sorry you didn't the same results, truly.
Yeah you do get that gun but I've never used it so I kinda forgot about it and I have more advanced character, so I just make weapons for my new characters and don't really need it.
But thank you for trying to help though. I may try in game support again, though I had no luck the other day.
Help Devs! I cannot progress in the story line due to this bug! :s
Abort allows you to leave the system, but the mission still shows up as needing completion.
Can't use the Dyson sphere gate way either !
What a mess !

That does include twice on this one, admittedly, so it's not half a bad as appears to be. Atrocious animation, horrendous game stopping bugs, really bad clipping, characters and environment hardly ever matching up correctly (ship seats and control panels being the 'best' examples of this!), unbelievably poor voice acting, all topped off on a terrible game engine! Is there anything like an incline of quality control at this developer. I don't know who should be the more embarrassed; the producers of the movies/TV shows, the writers, past actors, current in-game 'actors', the Roddenberry estate, the owners of the business making this thing, the games industry... the list goes on!
Don't get me wrong, the concept is wonderful, and the writing as it happens is mostly really nice, interesting concepts, well written, the ships are really lovely too (albeit, like most of the aliens and other tech, have genuine professional artists and designers work for reference), but the implementation is fu.cking horrendous! Totally disgraceful. You've got to admire the audacity of the company to charge gamers for anything approaching a decent ship.
It's such a shame, that in the right hands, hands of professionals, who genuinely care about the quality of their work, and the product they're working on, that genuinely respect their customers, this could be an absolutely stunning game... proof that it's still, just about playable being full of bugs, glitches, amateur programming, a complete lack of care or testing, and possibly some of the worst animation and voice acting in videogame history, that it's still playable, albeit, only because it's free!!! It's not hard to see how this completely failed as a paid for product.
I've already made an official complaint to Sony about this, and (I know, I know; pointlessly) left a message (which has probably been deleted) on these forums. In over twenty years gaming this is the worst quality programming, implementation of a game I've experienced. You can only imagine how much better an experience we all could have had if the developer had just fired it up and played it for a couple of hours before releasing it!
Well, I'm expecting impossible-to-finish-mission number twelve to come along within two, maybe three if I'm lucky, missions time. And please, for the love of the franchise, its history, and the creative minds that originated the past work this game relies on, someone with an ounce of professionalism buy this atrocious quality project and create a game that gamers, Star Trek fans
Each time I finish the mission and talk to tuvok in space at end which is the final action, instead of ending it puts me back outside Syllerran system with popup option to "Begin Mindscape", so the instance of mission I was on has ended, but I get no credit for it and cannot turn in.
Has this known bug really been ongoing for 5 years with no fix?
I found 4 similar posts on the Mindcape ending bug with no working bypass. If anyone knowns of a bypass , please let me know.
I would also like STO to reply to this thread to confirm its a known bug and when we can expect a fix...5 years for a storyline bug is too long to wait for a fix. Furthermore, if the mission has been fatally broken for 5 years, why is it still in the storyline? Remove it from Delta arc and ensure no other missions have requirement to complete Mindscape.
Also, I suspect this might be the reason why I General Q'nel does not offer missions after I complete the Delta arc task of visiting Kobali Prime (i.e. is it possible that the missions are not offered due to my having skipped the Mindscape mission rather than completing it due to above bug).
What button do you use to exit the mission when you have completed it? Certain missions you cannot press the button near the minimap at the top that affects progress but if you press the button to warp out that they give you then you can complete the mission. It is wonky at times. Thanks.
sthe91, its not that. At end of mission I'm in ship, next to voyager, and I have msg from Tuvok which I respond to, and then that warps me out and restarts the mission.
It is frustrating that this issue has been around so long and STO team wont even reply to it...they jump all over a bug to fix someone's helmet or outfit clipping but ignore broken missions for years. I started a discovery character last year and that character cannot complete the mission either.
Yeah, that is definitely a bug. Many years ago, I played Mindscape and don't recall ever having this problem. @chrian#9670 @engineerb4#4806 @ambassadorkael#6946 Any word on this issue being fixed soon especially for new players as well as veterans with new characters? Thanks.
Do not worry it is not a necro. Bug reports are exempt from that rule. It helps Cryptic trace the history of the bug from when it began (or was noticed) to the current state of the bug. Thanks for reporting it.
Thank you for the encouragement!
...run awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Bug threads do not come under necro rulings
eazzie is correct about this. Bug reports do not come under necro rulings. If they did, I would create another thread and not post here.
