Newcomer / Intro Can`t find a location. What am I doing wrong?

[SeaFireliv]

I am on a mission to deliver stuff to Pontes Arsenal in the HR 6669 system.

I can`t find Pontes Arsenal. I`ve gone to every unexplored planet and flown around it and found other bases, but can`t find the one. What am I missing?

This isn`t a safe system so I don`t like hanging about, already had to flee 3 interdiction attempts.

Go to the Navigation Beacon, target (scan) it and all the system locations will be given to you (nav and sys map).

If you have a Discovery Scanner, honk that i.e. power-up by pressing the corresponding fire button. Although that will depend if the planetary outpost is within range of the scanner: Basic (500ls); Intermediate (1000ls); Advanced (system-wide).

Alternatively drop into the Nav Beacon POI; target the physical Navigation Beacon (by selecting it from your Contacts tab); then fly close to the Navigation Beacon and wait for the scan to complete.

You may also see a 'Mission Updated' message.

The mission description (before you accepted the mission) normally has a couple of (i) info messages mentioning the Nav Beacon and Discovery Scanner.

EDIT: Semi-Ninja'd.

Thank you both very much indeed. It worked didn`t get my bonus but now I know. I would`ve replied sooner but got busy.
