What the hell is wrong with Approach?

It's the second mission I'm about to lose because of something screwed up with Aprroach. Either to make approaching smooth, or for some other reason, but speed drops gradually when I try to go near (in the last mission) a beacon or, in this one, a Caldari outpost I'm supposed to get close to. Well, I was stuck at 0,0 m/s speed 100 meters away from it. I can't increase speed or do anything else but turn away. I tried double-clicking behind the outpost and the beacon to "approach" manually, which is awkward enough. But it doesn't work, here I am, 0 meters away from the outpost, and it still doesn't show as Objectives Complete! Evil

Turn off AB/MWD?

Manually set speed ? (not too fast, then you will bump )

I think CCP set it up for a smooth entry into it, like a boat docking is what they tried to make approach like. But sometimes the ships momentum makes it collide with the approach target but if you let it stay on approach it does stay a bit away from the target after it deals with momentum like ya said.

Is this an "acquire surveillance data chip" mission for a low-level Minmatar agent? If so, the item you need to pick up is in a container that spawns when you get close to the outpost.

It's such a shame the same will never happen to you

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.
