Homeworld 1; mission NUMBER TWO, 2nd botched attempt; can't dock or refuel, nor salvage the wreck

Well, here was another frustrating ordeal. IDK what I'm doing wrong, but it seems broken. I can't seem to get it to work right at least, and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. So, I hate it.

It should be easy to figure out, and either it's not or it's just full of bugs I guess. -_- Either way, this isn't fun to play, it's just another waste of time as everything else in life is. -_-

Here's hoping it's just a stupid bug, and maybe a future update will fix it, and not mess up Homeworld 2 which seems to run just fine for now. I like Homeworld 2, so far, but this version of Homeworld 1 is being a pain at this point.

Like, how the heck do I refuel? How do I get them to dock and not just circle around the mothership? How do I convince the salvage collector to salvage the wreck and return with the data, rather than sit there a bit and do nothing and then refuse to dock? What the heck? Is it just me, or is this game really broken like it seems to be? Or is it me, and the game is just absolutely counterintuitive and annoying with a steeper learning curve than the tutorial portrayed?
