You know these contracts. They require you to mine a lot of ore somewhere you don't need any ore and lift it to orbit of another celestial body (or even land it there). While I always wondered, why I should ship ore from Ike to the Orbit of Duna, given the fact that I had a complete ISRU station on the surface of Duna, I accepted the contract anyways as I had mining equipment on Ike as well. And 400k for flying from Ike to Duna is a pretty good payment. Now once I reached the required amount of ore on Ike, I realised I had too little fuel to get to Duna. No problem. In that case I simply transferred the interplanetary transfer vehicle from Duna orbit to Ike orbit... But upon switching to the vessel in Duna orbit the contract was paid out as it was completed. Turned out the vessel I switched to had ore onboard which exceeded the requirements of the contract. To make a long story short - these kind of contracts are miswritten. They only require "mine x units of ore here" and "have x units of ore in orbit there". Knowing that, I exploited the bug more often. I don't know. But at least three times I got paid for mining on Ike and having totally unrelated ore in orbit of Duna.
