I know the location of an untouched Tritium 2 hotspot (2 spots nearly on top of each other), if you are interested. I won't post it here cuz it's my secret, but it's about 1 carrier jump from Colonia. I have not been back to try it out since Odyssey, but I verified that it's still there.
Meanwhile, I was goofing around checking out some settlements in the Tenjin system, just to see the layouts and maybe identify a good place to download some data like culinary recipes.
I landed at the first place, no worries, got scanned, everything normal.
Went to the second place, disembarked as usual, got scanned, and the shooting started! My ship had decided to load a couple of eBreaches into my backpack for no apparent reason. I was not on a mission. The HUD icon that says "you have illegal stuffs" was On, as it should be, but I wasn't paying attention because...why would I have illegal stuff?
This annoyed me so I tested it a few times. My ship added eBreaches to my backpack...sometimes. But not all the time.
So now I gotta remember to check for that. I guess it's a bug.
The settlements I visited were on a pretty planet.

While I was walking around in one of the settlements I chanced upon an NPC who wanted me to take a delivery to another settlement. Threat 0. Sounded a little boring, but I haven't done any of these missions that you get direct from an NPC in a settlement, so I took the mission.
The item magically appeared in my backpack and I flew around to the other side of the planet to the target settlement. It took me a while to find the person I needed. There were multiple NPCs with icons, and none were the right person. Eventually I located them inside a public bar area. Gave them the stuff. Now I had to go back and tell the mission giver it was done, and get my paltry reward.
It was fun, but I wanted a bit more excitement. I found another NPC with a delivery, but this time it was "Contraband." Might be a tougher assignment, I figured, so I took it. Got the item immediately, and my HUD lit up with the "illegal stuffs" icon. I had to dodge the guards on the way back to my ship. That's more like it!
I got to the target settlement, and my ship added eBreaches to my backpack again. This time I was watching, and I put them back. The "Contraband" item I was delivering was oddly not illegal at this settlement, so I just waltzed in and handed it over. Got paid. So, only slightly more exciting than the first one after all.
I like doing these missions. I like flying to settlements and walking around in them. It makes me feel like I'm really there, somehow. Anyway, it's great.
I do think they should pay a bit better, though, because they take quite a while to complete.
