Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
After the mission in Arthu fighting the Taurian. I'm unable to connect to Comstar/Merc net to accept other mission. I saw that in the story they say it would be impossible to get mission before getting back to safe space. However in the start map there is a travel contract that is not possible to take.

Move out of what looks to be Directorate space (to for example the red Restoration space). You're not supposed to get missions in there from my understanding. you should then be able to get missions.

Thanks for the answer. This is what I thought however the fact that I had a travel contract visible in the map confused me. I believe there is two possible cases. Either by design I cannot take missions and should not get travel contract or I should get contract and its a bug they are not accessible.

yeah it's you should not get the contract at all from my understanding. there's probably some odd case where a travel contract counts for somewhere else that it is why it was offered, but it was only a system over in the same region it looks so it couldn't be accepted.
