Very neat tribute to that event - thank you! You also get the award for the furthest beacon found from the bubble, so far...
If you're near Beagle Point, would you be able to dip into there, just in case?

I'm currently at Beagle Point. Nothing that I can find. The max distance is 1000ls for the beacon to pop up in the nav panel, right?

Correct; if you pass within 1000ls of every body in the system, that is definitely enough to confirm there is no beacon anywhere in the system. The only exception to this appears to be the Voyager beacon in Sol.

...and beacons around supergiant stars. The one at VY Canis Majoris is notoriously hard to find; it's orbiting the star at a distance of 7000 Ls, in a more or less random direction from the jump-in point 5000 Ls from the star.

Fortunately this is the only beacon with such a problematic position!
 
So far, anyway!

Its not too hard to grab with the guides you can find on the forum, however.

More annoying, right now, are the beacons that remain bugged and inaccessible.

and the Locations:

The english text for that beacon is: Commander Thund3rnuns admires the view of the Brown Dwarf star from its neighbouring planet.

Thank you webguru for the beacon discovery, and thank you Goatie for the translation and image! I've added this to the spreadsheet.

Its nice to see that new beacons are still being found, and holes being filled. Progress has slowed down, as the number of beacons left to be found has rapidly decreased.

Yeah I've been doing passenger missions lately in my Dolphin, and I'm constantly tracking them against the spreadsheet to see if I've found a missing beacon or not. No new ones lately for me.

You're welcome. I have a small backlog of beacons I'll have to run through and compare with the spreadsheet. If I find any in the spreadsheet that's missing distances or other info I'll see if I can remember where I found these beacons and head back out to snatch that info ;)
 
Hi Commanders
And if I find a beacon, how can I activate it.
I flew to one with a tourist and nothing happened.
Do I activate it in some manner?

Thanks
 
Beacon distance updates incoming. Some day I might go from top to bottom of the spreadsheet and get them all... it might take a while tho.

You just need to target the beacon and let it finish scanning, that is all :)
