I'm flairing this as a bug, because the quest is impossible to complete in its current state.

So I'm trying to do the quest given to me by the Exocraft Engineer, and the spot he tells me to goto to receive the transmission is underneath an ocean. On top of that, there's a large body of water between me and said landmass nearest to the point of interest. I had to resort to driving my Exocraft to the point, calling my ship, flying back to my base, and drove into the POI. Upon doing so, it tells me to return to the Engineer, mind you I still had 4 minutes remaining on my timer when I reached my destination. I get back to the Engineer, and he restarts the same mission over again.

Sigh... I'm trying so hard to fall in love with this game again. I played for 40 hours at launch, haven't picked the game up since, until yesterday.
