Passenger missions buggy??

[Qglfang]

Greetings!

Maybe somebody can tell me what i´m doing wrong here?

I just arrived at a tourist beacon, my passenger wanted me to bring him to. I was expecting something like a "mission critical message"....but nothing happens...for minutes. I tried to scan the beacon with the data link scanner...also nothing.

This is the second time close to aborting a passenger mission, because i get absolutely no hint what to do. This is frustrating....

That is odd. Everything should be pushed to the comms window. Have you checked the transactions tab on the left menu to see if they made a change or some requested items? But again, that would be pushed to the comms so I don't know.

I assume you know you have to drop out of SC into the instance the beacon is in. Then go to contacts and select the beacon and then just scan it normal. I have had other issues with some passenger missions but that type always completes well. Read the mission itself cause the passenger only tags the planet where the beacon is and it is up to you to locate the correct beacon.

Hope this helps

I did everything you two said so far, but nothing. that doesn´t seem to be the problem.

one thing though...what do you mean by "scan it normal"? is there something i have to do actively besides selecting the beacon and "looking" at it?

To scan a beacon you just lock onto it and then it scans. Some planets have more than 1 beacon so make sure you scan the correct one.

I play on PC so it is possible the PS4 version is buggy and you will need to put in a bug report.

no...nothing is buggy. I´m just an idiot. Really didn´t select it directly...just did it via the nav panel.

everything is fine now. Thank you Caliber!!

With all there is to learn if that is your worst mistake then count yourself as a genius. I could spen hours telling you all the stupid things I have done including making the same one you did. lol
