Low Energy FSD Wake - Not scanned?

beelbeebub · Dec 21, 2014

Hi there, this has happened a couple of times now. Normally my friend and I have no problem playing co-op, using FSD wakes to drop into the same instance.
.
However, when he has been interdicted and leaves behind a low energy FSD wake, when I try to drop in I can't and get "Wake not scanned".
.
Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?
.
Cheers!

I didn't know we can scan low energy wakes? Thought it was just high energy? :S

AS I understand it, Low Energy wakes are when someone drops from SC to "normal" space (i.e. and instance). High Energy are when someone uses HS to another system.
.
You can scan High Energy Wakes to get the destination then follow them (if you have a scanner).
.
Low Energy Wakes can be locked onto to drop you into that persons instance and you don't need a scanner. it's how ED implements multiplayer at the mo, pretty basic but it works except in this instance.

Same problem

My friends and I have this same problem...except it happens every time for us...we've never been able to follow each other. So apparently it does work sometimes?

It's gotta be a bug as their FAQ clearly states we should just be able to follow a low FSD wake without scanning.

Currently i have the same problem: I lock the low energy wake and want to drop. But the computer tells me, that the wake is not scanned. Is this a known problem?

makes me wonder if you guys with problems are not trying to initiate a HS jump? do you have a dedicated button for SC jumps? i think i got the wake not scanned message when i hit my HS jump button instead of the one assigned for SC.

I have this happen on occasion as well. I have separate buttons bound for SC and HC, tried them both and still get 'cloud not scanned'.
