nav beacons why nothing to scan?

There is definitely a nav beacon to scan in those areas. They show up as a white rectangle.

Not sure what object you mean... this is a screenshot of a nav beacon in-game, they are there, just quite small....

I jump in there is nothing there. Get within 10 m of it nothing there. tonights game is not impressing. About 15 individual experience points and gameplay bugs to include this one.

Are you targeting the beacon itself from the contact list? The supercruise instance target and the physical nav beacon are not the same object.

I thought the same thing for the longest time. Then one time I was there scrolling through the contacts and I saw it there. Selected and sure enough I finally saw the actual beacon not just the 'signal source'.

It's pretty simple really. Jump to nav beacon, target nav beacon, locate real nav beacon on targets, select it, get close, scan it, job done.

The marker for the beacon isn't where it really is, and is confusing - I agree, but it's still better than Apple maps

The Nav target is offset from the Actual beacon to avoid collisions as the Nav beacon ALWAYS wins any arguement

If you target the Beacon but already have the system data, or you have no missions in that system you won't have anything to scan. So, just scanning random beacons yields you nothing.
