Finding Generation ships is a major pain.

Where are they? I've been looking up and down for several of them and they're not showing up. Currently trying to locate the lycaon. No luck. I have heard that you need to be withing 1000 ly to see the signal. Why this barrier though now that we have the fss that can locate anything. Why this cat and mouse game?

I want to put stuff in my codex so why do i need to break my spirit to do that. Just give us the damn things and stop putting up nonsensical restrictions just to slow us down...

Sorry had to rant a bit.

The only ones I was able to find were in orbit of a planet that I had to map for it to show up. Hopefully this is something they fix.

The new exploration tools do not help. And with some "waypoints" moving, you have to fly back and forth i guess. Not my idea of fun though.

I did map the planet but it still did not show.

This honestly annoys me to no end. Why does FD put LORE in the game just to box it away like that? This stuff should be easily available to players.

Have the ships show up on our scans like degraded emissions. It makes no sense that our scanner is able to locate debris 30000 ls away but not a giant ship 2500 ls away.

Have you checked with support that this is intended and not just a bug?

I think the Lyacon is in Alaunus system somewhere...orbiting Alaunus 10 I think..... shows up when you do a full scan..... it shows up on the signal tuning as an emission

I was arount that planet but no luck. The description on how to find it is thaz you have to travel 22000 ls from alaunus 10 towards horae.

The ship phanes shows up in the fss from 320000ls away. So why do i need to be within 1000 ls of the lycaon to locate it? It makes no sense

Are we saying that Generation Ships don't show up in the FSS?

That's kind of odd because POIs such as the Voyager probes do, even though they're millions of Ls away.

As far as I know they should show up in the FSS, but they don’t right now = bug.

Is there any confirmation that they should show up though? I have heard that there is a 1000ls boundary around them.

This 1000ls radius used to apply to pretty much every persistent scenario. RES, CZ, Nav Beacons, Voyager, Generation ships, you needed to be within 1000ls to see them.

If everything else is now detectable with the FSS, then it's not too much of a stretch to assume generation ships not appearing is a bug. And there hasn't been any item in the patch notes indicating they are now treated differently.
