Possibly affects other mutated Items as well.
I have created an ingame bug report with those two screenshots…
will it get fixxed? Since it’s a storyline arc for my corporation this will delay us quite a bit unfortunately 
My corpmember wasted an hour and couldn’t figure out how to deliver them so I wanted to try it myself and yes, it doesn’t work. Maybe those mutated items have a weird Item ID or something idk…
our were made from Hobgoblins in this example.
it’s asking for mutated -salvage- drones .
it’s highlighted yellow , not sure what else could be done to draw your attention … maybe make blinking text ? or a giant arrow icon ? 
salvage drones !!! 
. 
Can you even mutate salvage drones?
I have figured something out. If you use ANY station, it doesn’t work. It didn’t even work for something simple like Robotics.
After I set the deliver destination to a specific station it worked with the Robotics… what the hell is going on 
not sure , but the highlighted yellow text in the ops screenshot says salvage drones …
No you can not per ingame mechanics, but it would totally make sense fictionally 
The selection box that defines the requested item type says “Light Mutated Drone”
The yellow text you’re talking about is a link in a description block describing a roleplaying pretext for why those drones are being requested. The contents of the description block don’t change any game mechanics.
