Problem completing mission

Hi,

I've recently returned to the game after a 6 year break, and am trying my first real mission (not counting the tutorial / introductory missions). I've immediately hit a problem: the mission objective says:

"Stop the scientist’s heretical experiments: Destroy his lab and all its contents."

When I warped into the mission complex, there were a few pirates which I killed, a few asteroids, and a few structures named LCO Amarr Bunker. There is nothing else in the area at all, certainly nothing with the word "lab" in it. If I attempt to destroy the bunkers, I can't damage them no matter what weapon/ammo I try with. There is no activation gate to take me further in to the compex.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Does this kind of thing happen frequently?

Lookup your mission, it'll probably have the info you need. Otherwise, sometimes the structure you're looking for might be hiding behind something

Thanks for the reply. This is my mission:

I've killed the 5 mercenary rookies that it lists as the "initial group", but there is no Laboratory. Here's a screenshot of the area. I've added large collidable objects to the overview.

Looks like the structure didn't spawn. Petition it.

Thanks, I've petitioned it as you suggested. What is the response time like on those? Am I likely to see a resolution before the mission expires (in about a week I think)?

Got a response already, so answered my own question :)

In case anyone has this same problem and comes across this post - the problem was a bug in the overview. I found the solution by googling other posts, it appears I'm not the only one who got stuck on this mission. Although the lab is a large collidable object, for some reason it doesn't appear on the overview if you enable only that type of object. If you go to the overview settings and enable everything, then it shows up (as a large collidable object!). The reason it isn't visible on-screen is that it is packed in between all those bunkers.

This is the reason I made an all tab for the overview.
