Quick one CMDRs, is there a way to search for CNBs other than stumbling across them? Had a quick look on the forum and elsewhere, but can't seem to find anything. Do they appear in systems with a specific state and/or security level? o7
Finding Compromised Nav Beacons?
- Thread starter Caelum Incola
- Start date
No, they are mainly fixed, but a few that are on the margins of being triggered can come and do as system owner or states change, but they are rare. It is something to do with Security Level, but only vagueley, nothing you can create a rule for or search on.
There is no mention of it in the Journal, so none of the 3rd party sites track them properly (at all?)

not sure what you mean by fixed.
Any nav beacon can be turned into a cnb
and any cnb can be turned into a regular nav.
If you know how.
I own 2 myself, that I did turn from normal to cnb.
I recently turned one of them back into a regular nav.
and this as well as the above links have been in the forums a very long time..Its hard to find stuff here sometimes

Most systems do not change between NB and CNB no matter what you do, they are effectivly fixed, only a few will ever change.

Ok then, how do you change them? I found it really annoying when my CNB kept turning into a regular pathetic one when I was doing massacre missions.
I would tell you to note which faction was controlling the system when the cnb existed. and what was the security level.
a non-anarchy faction with low security in control of system is a start.
Due to Horizons release, we learned the hard way that Haz Res and all res ARE/Were Fixed, as in solidly in place intentionally.
Horizons erased all that. And as it was being discovered that all our fav hunting grounds were gone, frontier gave cmdrs some time to report where they all were so they could be restored. after the deadline given all that was brought to their attention was reverted to prior Horizons release. Sadly tons were still lost because if you didn't look in the FORUMS, you had no idea why all your hunting grounds were gone, never to return.
This was never made into anything regarding Nav beacons.
And any talk regarding them in the forums was new to most, and considered not possible.
my first one was done before Horizons accidentally/unintended. but the results were repeatable, and I had to test it.
I found that it worked very easily, everywhere I applied it.
If any are fixed and un-changeable, I could not say as I usually only experiment on my own systems.
If there is any text from Frontier on this, I have not seen it. And no-one from fdev has ever commented on any of my posts regarding this.
keep in mind too - Horizons. because EDO has forced a lot of system changes, turning Anarchy low sec systems into High Tech med sec, and the list goes on. Main jist is
security in numerous systems got changed for some reason, destroying usefulness of thousands of systems.
the changes to type of system made some differences too.
Systems that had 2-3 stations now having 20 to 100 stations - EDO.
Not to mention, non managed anarchy are vanishing, this being only 1 of the long list of reasons. This will create more cnb's, but that's providing the variables and the logic is actually in EDO, my bet is that it has not even been thought about, as it is a rare thing to have them being controlled by cmdr's like me.
It means you will have to give the system control to a different faction .
Even Then, you might have to 'adjust' security for it to work. There is a lot to learn when it comes to BGS. This is one important component. very very destructive in the wrong hands.

Ok, you said lots of words there but I'm not sure if you answered my question or not. How do you make a Nav Beacon compromised? Is it if the controlling faction of the system is has an Anarchy government type? and the system is low security? (I'm suspecting there's more to it than that)
no.
not unless whoever wins is the right type of faction for it to work at all, and even then, only when they win the conflict.
There is no reason for any Nav to change type except once the right faction takes control and the security level is correct.
But it only happens IF and when the correct faction type takes control.
If the correct faction is in control and there is no cnb, it takes a lot to change the security level. so unless they are at that waiver point it won't change.
And it will only change at the Tick, never at random times not related to the Tick.
maybe civil war, makes sense as the space fuzz is fighting at CZs all over the system which comprimises them more ways than keeping tabs on a beacon
I had to dig a bit to see a comment that said it (and I was surprised that I had to look so much, but anyway), as someone else said, you find them pretty irregularly in low security systems...
I go to them a lot when I'm trying to push up my combat rank and farm engineering materials...
If you play in "legacy" 3.8 on PlayStation, Xbox (and also PC), Madri, Ahti and Ladon have compromised nav beacons right now, but even in the "live" game, it shouldn't take too long to find one...
Just bring up the nav screen, find a low security system fly to it and if it doesn't have one, try a few more and you'll find one in a few minutes
...
I tend to try a bit harder to find one with a large space station, to rearm my Anaconda and turn in my bounty vouchers easier, but any such system with a landable base will work too for large ships, it's just slower to land and relaunch from than from at a proper space station
.
P.S. In my engineered Anaconda, I can now earn around 40 million credits in an hour or two of bounty hunting and I'd make more money if I wasn't stopping regularly to collect materials .

our civl war finished yet the CNB remained, our player faction security (we control the system) looks like one notch/bar/mark from dead centre now & the nav beacon is normal now
you could practise dive-bombing landing with a type 9 you know wax on wax off =d & then it wont seem as bad in a conda? even just some differnce in handling should improve the skill, i have a T9 after using it for a w eek my hudson gunship feels like a fighter =D he does the suit thing i help out with the seven multi-cannons in imperial face thing
edit/ ive barely put a few hours into my python so am some ways of a conda yet =d i had a T9 & python for a while not having the rebuy so they remained hangared most of the fist time i played ED a year or so ago, first week back i played solo to remedy that and been in open since,
practise different gravities too or it'll be wax on rebuy screen off, u probly need to practise with the shield set up as it would be for real
