pirate passenger mission failed straight away

Anyone got any info on this? I've search the forums and the FAQ for any info about this but theres nada.

I saw a mission in the Ore Belt pirate base. It was to transport 130 passengers to Flower Farm in Olmankeslats Treaty with a large moola reward. So I called my Express up to take them and when I accepted the mission, 2 messages came in. One saying "great! blah blah go here." The other message said "Pilot what just happened? We read a loss of lifesigns on your ship. blah blah."

I double checked my TP and didn't find anything wrong with it. I even bought a cargobay life support system just to make sure that they stay alive and tried it again, (although I'm CERTAIN that I've never needed a CLSS before in my TP runs.) Again same thing. Accept and fail straight away.

I'm stuck with a load of passengers that won't get off at the flower farm.
What gives?

FYI :
Ore belt Pirate base
transport 130 passengers
Adv Industrialist req.
TP class ship
21 mizuras
over 40K reward

Argon express
780 cargo space
Jumpdrive
Cargobay lifesupport system

Did you land at the station in a different ship before switching to the TP to accept it? If so then this is a known issue.

argghghh!!not to me known it was.

Thanks CBJ. I'll go back and exit the station then enter again.

I'm still getting these messages, even when I undock and reenter the base with my lifesupported express.

You probably need to wait for a new mission to spawn. The one that was created when you docked in the other ship is probably stuck like that.

Sell 'em back to the pirate base. 130 passengers? oh my

I don't know of this works btw, but a friend of mine said it was possible. I imagine it dosn't do much for your race relations however

Can't sell passengers, only slaves.

Similar transport missions offered at PBs have been reported as being bugged.

Had one myself. The passengers had boarded already but I was still docked when I got another message saying that I've ejected my passengers (not true). There was no way to 'unboard' them other than ejecting them in space (they vanish immediately - so no collection of slaves).

The first pirate transport mission I took, when I completed the mission I got a read text message and it didn't record the passangers as haveing been transported. Every pirate transport mission after that I have gotten an imediate second message telling me I have failed.
