Dillon explicitly says "Tobacco" in the messages posted in Apademak
Ok, so I have a theory. Probably one that's been thought of but the speed this thread moves at you'd need 3 sets of eyes to keep up. Ayways:
Kohl (Red Trader - Carries Fish): M class star and one friend always lies.
Dillon (Yellow Asp): Rocky Planet at Latitude 34, Binary Pulsars
Granger (Cobra): Unknown as of yet.
Maybe this is all the info so far, maybe not but it is all that is needed for this idea. Kohl is a double bluff.
A lot of people suggested Kohl is a Red Herring (Red Trader, Fish). So if that's the case, HE is the liar and we sould disregard the M class star. Naturally this will have to wait until 2100 for confirmation but it's food for thought?

I really don't think it's the best they can do. This entire thing is off-limits to Australia as a whole because FD's instancing system is so poor. Before we've even had a chance, we just got given FD's middle finger and silence. It seems like they not only didn't try, but actively avoided doing things that would have mitigated the problem over the past year.
No, this whole "Hunt" is a perfect example of how not to bring anything to the conversation.
and yes, that's the point. There's no where to deliver the tobacco.

Yes according to the thread these have been tried but folk who tried them could see nothing :
- Massagetae
- Chertan
- HR 1812
We know of no other McMullen Vision
Ok, I'm totally confused about all this. Currently, I am at Kippax, Nagali in an FAS, for I was led here by a new CG suddenly popping up and I joined it (was binary and said something about fish). Time left was 1:41mins, but suddenly it said "fail" and was gone. Meh. This is definitely not what I had expected for 28th. What's up? Time to go home now? [noob]
Awesome analogy. As long as you don't skip the Huey Lewis and the News one.
Now if you'll excuse me I have to return some videotapes.
Wait, wait... The Asp wasn't even at Pic Tok?!?
You know, I couldn't participate in that last part of the hunt, but since realised that so many players were gonna follow the instructions of the CG, I decided to go hang out at Kippax, watch for griefers, and send people to Pic Tok with instructions on what they were looking for.
So I wasted an hour of my time before work trying to be a community minded and helpful player, and all I actually did it directed a couple of dozen other players to waste their time?
Seriously?

good thinking.
But if he always lie..then maybe it ist more a
icy sun/planet at longitude 34 near an m class star?
To me, this whole thing sounds like one of those logic puzzels; a couple of guys giving off statements, one is lying, and by what they're saying you have to deduce which one is right and which one is lying.

I really wish I hadn't nailed it
Sadly yes. You're not the only one wound up by it, trust me. I am too.
Following instructions in mysteries like this shouldn't deliberately lead players in the wrong direction. It is the clues that should be 'lies', if one character is lying, not locations and times for the next puzzle piece.
Having said that, don't let it sour your taste on the whole thing. FD is learning when it comes to these things. This mystery will last a while yet, so some good bits could easily come along soon.
I'm sorry but I disagree with you.
Not all people 'complaning' about are doing it because of SDC or the 'open' stuff. I have been quite active the last days solving the first riddles and keep up / helping others. Now, knowing it is going to be in open, it happens that I can't just play it. I tried tonight, with a few people, I got disconnected every time I jumped in/out of SC because of the connection in this country. Every time I had to restart - rewing - replot - reboost - rejump - and travel the distance to wherever I was going just because the instance is full, the server is busy or because of [redacted].
Even if I want to, I just can't. Not to metion meeting a random cmdr from another country, hehe, I can't even see my fellow aussie friends in the same system if they have joined someone else's instance.
Open is my comfort zone, crowded open is unusable at the moment, at least for me.

if i read the posts correctly than it was "last seen" at Pic Tok and he apears always at 15:00
Last seen doesnt mean he will be in that system again. Thats how I read it.
im still gonna says that our red hering is dillon
binarly pulsar is a bit far feched also he wants tobacco
so he might be saying false information till he gets his stuff

I was forced to refuel near Pic Tok,
that journey took me to HSIE,
which in fact has the Pic Tok party
as an active minor faction in it.
There also is an observatory.

I think the "Pic Tok" clue was a red herring. Here in these messages we are told that Dillon never carries cargo and someone that wasn't hauling cargo would arrive at Apadamak at an unspecified time. Since we were already told that Granger doesn't carry cargo AND he hangs around Apadamak, we are left to conclude the two aforementioned clues (highlighted light-blue in my quote) were referring to Dillon. That means that Dillon followed the original directions all along - the only difference was he followed the time as denoted in the CG (which wasn't given in the initial clues).
I'm at McMullen Vision but there's nothing here, as others have pointed out. I'm tempted to take the Tobacco to Pic Tok and see if he's there. We will have to see. Otherwise, we'll have to strap in and wait for Granger in his White Cobra to give us the final clue at 21:00 UTC.
