Salvage: Pull the encrypted memory ship from wreckage

Yeah, how do you do these exactly? I picked one up earlier today, scanned the nav beacon, went to the blue marked planet, visited all three POIs (2 irregular markers and 1 wreckage) and nada. Blew up some skimmers, but nothing was interactable. In fact, I thought the mission might be bugged, so I dropped it and took another one in a new systems. Scanned nav beacon, went to the blue marked planet, visited both of the irregular markers, saw some skimmers, but again, nothing interactable. What am I doing wrong here?

P.S. To add to the fun, I was interdicted 16 times. Yay?

The mission POI marker should have appeared once you got a certain distance from the planet. It wouldn't have been one of the three POIs you'd find from a surface scan (or nav beacon scan?).

Aye a nav beacon scan isn't relevant but doesn't hurt to get into the habit once entering a system regardless of whether you've been there before...Nice hse spawns etc

Ahhh... yeah, I did scan the planet first. Nothing different. Bugged it is, I guess. Wow, I've had some real hard luck with bugged mission over the past few days.

And, yeah, I only scanned the nav beacon because I was out of ideas.

Thanks for you efforts, all.

I've picked up a few of these missions in the last couple of days. Around 60% have been bugged, no mission POI on DSS scan

I've done a few of these lately and every one has worked fine, once close enough the blue mission target appears in the nav panel, target it, land, grab stuff, get out. It should be noted you do need to check the nav panel and not just look at the planet to get the target POI every time. Different experiences I guess.

Yeah but when you do these missions they take you to a moon that's got the blue mission thingy so u do that.. And any threat 3 stuff too..I've found the higher the threat the better. Also I'm in a anarchy system so u get rep and bountys for removing npcs from these sites and settlements too hehe..bonus

Since it's occasionally bugged, is there another semi-reliable way of getting manufacturing instructions?

Your best bet for Manufacturing Instructions is find a Irregular Markers Thread 1 - 3; look for a crashed skimmer, there will also be several large shipping-style containers. Land a distance away and crouch if there enemies already there. Once you get there, stay crouched and start downloading- MIs are easily obtainable from here. Re-log, rinse and repeat.

I took four salvage missions yesterday to get some basic materials for a mod and every single one bugged out, didn't even appear on the map. I've done hundreds before, not sure why they all bugged out. Just means I can't take any more until they do another patch (if they do one at all - AND, it doesn't break other things, which most patches to date have done).

I read in a similar thread that I posted to yesterday, about various issues & bugs when doing Salvage Missions, that attracted Zac's attention from the CM team.

He acknowledged that he had noted these problems & would pass them to the Devs.

BTW, Iv noticed stacking more than one Salvage Mission increases the likelihood of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th....Missions bugging.
So much so that I'm leaving out Salvage Missions now until they are fixed.
