Anyone tried the "Disable Megaship Turret" mission? Is it bugged?

I picked up said mission type from Pleione system station, travelled to the megaship location, dropped in on it, scanned it, none of the turrets or any other contacts showed as the mission target

Couldn't do damage to the turrets using laser or plasma, destroyed numerous power capacitors but didn't count towards the mission

Has anyone tried these missions and got them to work?

It's not the best described in the game... long complete version:
- Scan the Megaship with datalink
- Scan the Turrets with datalink
- Blow up Turret Power Generators when revealed.

The short version:
- Remember where turret powerplants are, and lob missiles at them.

In other words... if you know where they are, you don't need to bother scanning (you just won't be able to target them), but if you don't know where they are, scanning the turrets will reveal them.

It's actually pretty fun, but yeah, the mission description is very inadequate.

OK many thanks, I didn't realise I had to scan the turrets as well in order to reveal the mission targets. lol I was just shooting everything

So I feel stupid. I just picked this up, and spent 30 minutes wandering a system for a mega ship. I scanned the nav beacon, went to every planet, and investigated every unidentified signal source. What am I doing wrong? What are the steps to find the ship in the first place?

I took one of these before the BGS tick,
it led me to a system where the ship was no longer present and the info didn't update.
Aborted it, so beware don't take these before the tick, or the ship will have jumped out.
I didn't have the flightplan prior to the tick, so i wasn't sure where it went to check if the mission
still is completeable.

I did wonder what would happen in those circumstances...
