How exactly is one supposed to deliver the supplies or communication arrays to the planet? I have the needed crap but I have no idea how to give it to them.

*Please don't turn this into a 30 page spergfest about how "captains shouldn't have to buy provisions."

Once you have all 10 in your inventory, go back to the planet and talk to them. One of the options is Deliver the Whatever.

Worked for me, anyhow, but I only did this once.

The deliver 10 of xxx missions are still slightly bugged. Some times you can complete it and others you can't.

One person worked out that if you can't deliver the supplies you should drop the mission while you are in the system, then talk to them again and then you will be able to deliver the supplies.

But the level of reward you get for doing these missions is just not wrth it at low levels. You will spend 1000-2000 energy crdits for less than 100 skill points and <100 energy credits reward.

If I get a deliver aid mission I just drop it and go to the next anomaly.
