Christmas Treasure Hunt.

[Commander Tredwell]

Is there going to be a Christmas Treasure Hunt this year? I always enjoy the quest.

 

[HRDiagram]

I surely hope so!

The gift drop off is now on a Frost Dock. Took forever to get clearance to land unless in Solo

 

[Rat Catcher]

I've delivered 2 & 6 as they were easy...
Now scratching head

 

[Inus_Antari]

Does it require a specific cargo capacity or is it similar to the Halloween hunt?

There are 6 deliveries, so 6 tons

 

[Factabulous]

I'd take a few extra presents, I got some wrong first time

If you're doing Powerplay you need extra cargo space for limpets ... you'll see why

 

[Kayvan]

Wait, what? Where, how? I don't see anything in game.

 

[Untilting]

For the less obvious ones the messages have other hints which help pinpoint the delivery station - names, activities etc.

Just check the latest galnet news item.

 

[Kzak]

+1 if someone posts a how-to for the treasure hunt with judicious use of 'SPOILER' tags where solutions are given.

 

[aRJay]

How to :-

1. Go to the system and 'station' in the Galnet article you read in your cockpit.
2. Dock
3. Read your new message
4. Follow the instructions
5. Scan the beacon
6. In order solve the clues
7. Deliver rare goods to each location solved
8. Beware of gankers especially near the end or after long cruises
9. Celibrate

Better solutions will be along shortly.

Number 5?

 

[Factabulous]

Number 5?

Yeah Looking at the message gave another good option that worked

 

[Kayvan]

Bam, a trap right in the first puzzle... there are three stations that would qualify and I can't see a hint of a clue in the message which is the correct one. Apparently not the closest one, wasted my first gift already.

Number 5 don't make no sense, either.

There are 3 planets that share the dude's name, each planet has a staiton orbiting them. It ain't none of them.
