Every Contract Fails on Jump Exit

[Electrobagel]

Hello!

I have the Evochron Mercenary demo.

Every time I jump to a contract way point upon exiting the jump I immediately receive a message saying the contract objectives were failed. Every time, every contract. Also, auto pilot doesn't jump me, I have to do that on manually. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong, or what might be wrong with my client?

Thank you for your time.

Autopilot won't jump you if the jump point is in the same sector, so it sounds like you are manually placing the jump point outside of the sector where you accepted the contract, which will fail it. After you accept it, just press F2 to jump to the waypoint.

Pressing F2 worked fine. Although, I wasn't manually setting jump points, I would just accept a contract, undock, point my ship at the waypoint and hit jump. (And they were in the same sector)

Hello Electrobagel, Welcome to the forum and hopfully the Sim. Have fun with the demo and hope to see you out there sometime.

You have to click on the waypoint, you won't automtically be sent there. It sounds as if you're accepting the contract, hitting jump, and, If you have a mantis drive, you're jumping clean out of the sector, nulifying your contract.

Not clicking sends you directly into the enemy capital ship (if there is one). Clicking allows you to offset the jump point far enough away to survive entry into the combat area.
