Choose contracts and build a repeatable session

Open mobiGlas and find Contracts

mobiGlas (Toggle) > CONTRACTS

Press F1, then select the app labelled CONTRACTS. Choose Verified or Unverified at the top, open a mission category and select an offer to read its detail panel. CIG’s documented layout puts the app at the fourth button from the left; use the name if your layout differs.

Expected result: You see an offer with an issuer, task and reward, plus any displayed deadline. Browsing has not accepted it.

If it did not work: If F1 opens nothing, check the named mobiGlas toggle in your saved bindings. If the device itself is missing or nonfunctional, use the dedicated mobiGlas troubleshooting source before accepting a timed job.

Read the issuer, legality and commitment

Open Contracts and inspect the issuer, Verified or Unverified category, task, reward and deadline. Select an offer that matches your equipment and available time.

Expected result: You know whose work you are doing and what completion requires.

If it did not work: Unverified does not simply mean harder. Read the legal implications before treating it as the next reputation step.

Turn the offer into a departure plan

Contracts > selected offer details

SC Nomads practice: read the issuer, objective, destination, quantity or target, deadline, any entry fee and stated prerequisites. Say: “I will take this item or perform this action, at this place, and confirm this result.” Compare that plan with your ship, equipment, crew and remaining playtime.

Expected result: You can identify the first task and the final handoff. You know whether you are accepting travel, cargo handling, combat or a combination.

If it did not work: If the wording still leaves the target or handoff unclear, browse another offer before committing. A higher advertised reward does not establish that your transport, eligibility or available time is sufficient.

Check the job against local law

mobiGlas > location > Journals > system legal code

Check your current location and its legal code in Journals. After crossing a system boundary or arriving at another faction’s territory, repeat that check before beginning the job. Compare its target, access and goods with the destination’s rules, not only the law at departure. Leave an unclear Unverified offer unaccepted while you investigate.

Expected result: You can name the location and controlling faction you checked, separately from the employer offering payment.

If it did not work: Verified is not a promise that every action near its destination is permitted. Stop before firing on a different ship, entering an unrelated restricted facility or taking cargo that the contract did not authorize.

Find the hauling introduction when it is available

Contracts > available Delivery/Hauling offers

CIG’s Cargo Guide names Opportunity for Independent Cargo Hauler from Covalex Independent Contractors as the hauling introduction. If that offer is available, select it and read the actual goods, quantities, pickup and delivery requirements before deciding to accept.

Expected result: You have a specific starting offer to assess with the kit and acceptance checks below.

If it did not work: If it is absent, check the offers available to your character and location. Do not buy trade cargo to substitute for assigned freight or assume a more demanding offer is the same introduction.

Inspect the kit away from local storage

Away from the Storage Access kiosk, open personal inventory and inspect the suit, helmet, tool and supplies needed by this job. Check carried containers, not only a purchase receipt. Keep an affordable spare kit at your recovery location.

Expected result: The items required for departure are with you or deliberately aboard the chosen transport.

If it did not work: If an item is absent, check the original location storage and purchase destination before buying it again. An item saved at a different port is not automatically available here.

Equip compatible magazines, not just a gun

Inspect your weapon name and its required magazine. Equip matching magazines on your carried kit. At a location where drawing is allowed, select the weapon and check its ammunition display.

Expected result: The weapon has ammunition and a matching reload is accessible.

If it did not work: Armistice restrictions can prevent drawing. A magazine for a similar-looking gun may still be incompatible.

Use Landing Services from the pilot seat

mobiGlas > Landing Services

After landing at a location offering services, remain in the pilot seat. Choose the required repair, restock and fuel options, then Confirm. Recheck ammunition and system state after completion.

Expected result: The requested supplies or condition have changed.

If it did not work: If the app or result is wrong, note the location and state before buying repeatedly. An icon change alone is not proof of a successful refill.

Check whether this is a hauling job you can carry

SC Nomads cargo fit check

For a hauling offer, read the type, quantity and destinations. Confirm ship access and a working tractor tool/attachment for manual loading. Choose a small run with a return route you can explain before accepting more stops.

Expected result: You have a loading method and enough usable space for the actual job.

If it did not work: If the first box cannot be moved or fitted, solve that equipment or access problem before taking another contract. Commodity trading at a shop is a different transaction from collecting someone else’s assigned freight.

Accept the selected offer once

Contracts > offer > ACCEPT OFFER > ACCEPTED

After the fit check, select ACCEPT OFFER for this job. Open ACCEPTED and select the same contract by name. Read the first objective and any timer that now appears.

Expected result: The chosen job is in ACCEPTED and its first required action is visible.

If it did not work: If the job is absent, recheck whether acceptance actually succeeded or the offer became unavailable. Do not launch toward a destination remembered from an unaccepted offer.

Check tracking and match the marker

Contracts > ACCEPTED > chosen job > displayed tracking control

SC Nomads marker check: inspect the selected accepted job for its tracking action or state. If a tracking toggle is offered, enable it for the job you intend to do. Close mobiGlas and compare the displayed objective and destination marker with the task you just read.

Expected result: You can name the current objective and recognize its corresponding destination or target information.

If it did not work: If no marker is present, reopen the same accepted contract and check its current stage and tracking state. Some objectives require investigation rather than an exact target icon. Use the text to establish the next action instead of jumping toward an unrelated marker; record a missing control or marker if the task provides no usable direction.

Invite the contact in game

Commlink, official support default

Open Commlink, select the accepted contact and send a party invitation. Ask them to accept, then read the party roster.

Expected result: Both players can identify the party members.

If it did not work: Recheck contact and invitation states before repeatedly leaving the session.

Agree one objective owner and a stop call

SC Nomads crew handoff

Name the person handling the item or terminal and the person checking the mission state. Agree that either can call stop if the object name, destination or objective count differs. Use Share in the next section and have each intended participant accept.

Expected result: Everyone knows which contract and action they are supporting, before a stage is completed.

If it did not work: If a player joins late or declines the share, pause and establish their actual contract state. Do not promise retrospective credit or an identical item reward from party membership alone.

Share the actual accepted mission

Form your party, open Accepted contracts, select the job and choose Share where available. Ask each member to accept the offered mission.

Expected result: Each intended participant can see the accepted job in their own contract list.

If it did not work: Being in the party alone is not proof a mission was shared or accepted. Check before completing its objective.

Read back the shared objective before arrival

Contracts > ACCEPTED > exact shared job

After accepting the shared offer, each crew member opens the job and reads the current objective. Confirm the intended participant sees it in their own list. Before a pickup or hand-in, repeat the exact item and destination to the handler.

Expected result: The people expecting shared credit have accepted the same job and can identify the next required action.

If it did not work: If one player has no job or a different stage, check the share invitation and accepted title before completing the next interaction. Do not use a visible party marker as the only proof.

Use the named item or terminal

On foot > Interaction Mode > displayed objective action

Look at the required object and use its visible interaction. Hold F for additional options where available, then select the action the objective needs, such as carrying the named item or operating its terminal. Reopen the contract after the interaction and check what changed.

Expected result: The intended object is handled and the current objective advances or identifies the next requirement.

If it did not work: If it does not advance, compare the object name, required action and location with the accepted text. Confirm the action completed before moving the object again. Avoid using an old universal stow shortcut on a parcel that may not fit in carried storage.

Complete the specific destination hand-in

Destination interaction > required delivery or terminal action

At the named drop-off, perform the requested delivery interaction and inspect its acknowledgement. For freight, deliver to the location and method specified by this contract. Check the remaining objective count before removing more cargo or leaving.

Expected result: The required delivery is credited, or the contract clearly identifies the outstanding item or stage.

If it did not work: A box being on a platform or an elevator finishing its animation does not prove credit. Recheck item identity, destination and the final interaction. Keep the current state intact if submission fails instead of adding unrelated items to test it.

Read the result while it is still available

Contracts > this job’s result and remaining objectives

After the final interaction, inspect the job for its completed or failed outcome and any outstanding stage. With a party, have the other participants inspect their result too. Note the displayed reward before leaving the area.

Expected result: You can distinguish completed work from an active job, partial delivery or failed attempt.

If it did not work: If the result is still active, read the next objective instead of assuming a payout is merely delayed. If the contract shows completion but the money is unclear, continue to the payout comparison below rather than submitting a second set of items.

Check reputation and payout separately

After completion, read the mission result, reward and the relevant reputation view. Record the issuer and any newly available offers.

Expected result: You distinguish a paid mission from a specific reputation unlock.

If it did not work: Do not promise another player your own unlocked offer. Their location, eligibility and progression may differ.

Check your own received result

mobiGlas > displayed balance and contract result

Compare the advertised reward and participant count with the result and your own balance. Record service costs separately. If a physical reward was promised, inspect the specified receiving inventory or location rather than assuming a money increase represents the item.

Expected result: Your note distinguishes the advertised amount, observed receipt and costs of completing the run.

If it did not work: If the amounts do not reconcile, keep the offer/result, participant count and transaction timing. Avoid spending or transferring more money while trying to determine what the original payment was.

Inspect the issuing organization in Reputation

mobiGlas > Reputation app > relevant issuing organization

Open the Reputation app and inspect the organization or track relevant to this job. Compare the displayed standing and newly offered jobs with your previous note. If the next contract states an introduction, certification or reputation requirement, read that requirement before attempting it.

Expected result: You can report the standing actually shown and which specific next offer is available to you.

If it did not work: Payment alone is not proof of a particular rank increase. If an offer is absent, check its issuer, location and prerequisite before repeatedly completing an unrelated job. Do not promise another character your own eligibility.

Make one bounded check of the stuck stage

SC Nomads mission fault check

Compare the accepted objective, required location, item or target and final interaction once. Note the build, contract title, issuer and exact stage. Check the current known-issues list for that symptom before accepting the same job again.

Expected result: You can explain whether a specific requirement is missing or a documented issue prevents completion.

If it did not work: The 4.10.2 advisory lists missing targets for Evict Illegal Occupants and Repel Raid on Orison; it gives no workaround and advises against accepting Repel Raid while affected because failure or abandonment damages Crusader Security reputation. Leave an unauthorized facility promptly; missing trespass warnings are also documented.

Choose whether to continue, abandon or change activity

Accepted job > displayed failure/abandonment choices

If the job cannot be completed within your resources and time, read the offered abandonment or failure information and make that decision deliberately. Record the outcome and tell everyone working on the job. After a connection failure, use the session-recovery lesson and inspect the actual returned state before replacing cargo or equipment.

Expected result: The crew knows whether this attempt is active, ended or awaiting recovery, and why.

If it did not work: Do not assume abandonment is penalty-free or that a relog restores an unfinished contract. If a completed job disappears from history after client exit, the 4.10.2 advisory identifies a history display issue while completed mission credit remains.

Pick one specific next practice target

SC Nomads learning handoff

Name the stage that caused uncertainty: selecting an offer, loading, target identification, hand-in or recovery. Open the matching lesson above and rehearse that stage before committing to a larger contract. Carry your issuer, costs and failure note into the next session.

Expected result: You have a practical lesson and one change to evaluate on the next run.

If it did not work: If the objective itself remains unclear, ask for an explanation of that exact stage or choose a simpler available offer. Buying a larger ship does not fix an unrecognized handoff or missing prerequisite.
