Mission lock

[ArmadaCas]

Hey guys, just recently started the game and enjoying so far. Big difference from the Dreamcast original, but fun anyway. Very complicated gameplay mechanics too. I'm currently stuck with only 4 missions in the Forest area. I can't complete any of the Koffie missions because I can't teleport to the planet without selecting 1 of the 4 missions listed.

Subdue Za Oodan
Subdue Fangulf
Dagan Extermination: Forest
Nab Rappy Capture

I've included a screenshot to show.

I have completed these 4 missions at least 2 or 3 times, but nothing changes. I still can't beam down to the planet without selecting 1 of them. I'd really like to resolve this problem soon, otherwise the game will become boring and I'll just stop playing.
I had 1 of the million XP cards and reached Level 30. The next day, I used the second card, but stayed at Level 30, so being able to play Koffie's client quests is extremely important.

Also, a smaller problem to solve. My character just has a gun, but I've also found swords, however have no idea how to equip them. The menu system is way more complicated than either Dreamcast or Gamecube and I'm completely stuck with it.

Thank you very much in advance to anyone who replies..!
