Scanned a nav beacon. It points me to a planet. Cool!

Landed on planet. Nothing.

Looked around POIs. Nothing. 30 minutes are up. WARNING PLEASE FIND YOUR TARGET FASTER.

    am I supposed to do? What a waste of time.

Usually means that they're in the orbit of the planet. Your mission target will come up as a blue USS that says "mission target". He won't *actually* be on the planet itself......though it would be cool if they bring in such a mechanic in a future update!
