Horizons Sightseeing Missions HOW?

[Lankspeed]

Ihave seen these missions and the Transport ones. I have a Conda A Grade kitted out and a Python A grade Kitted out Put the Cabins in Both. Did Transport Missions no Problems. But Sightseeing TAKE THEM ON go to the Vistor beacons Fly about and around them, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS?

What am I not Doing?

Thanks for any Help

you need to scan the visitor beacon

... from real space, like a ship. target it via contacts panel.

Here's me doing a couple in a Cobra, should help clear things up for you. But yeah, you have to scan the beacons.

Really Helpful but once again it shows the incompetence of the Dev's to place instuctions where they can be found.

I have Not played this GAME since the end of October 16, as I was getting board with trying to grind to a VETTE. Gave up and went back to other FUN games. It is supposed to be enjoyable to play. But it is a Grind.

I have Now spent 4 Hours doing a Sightseeing Mission which earned me a total of 1.8 million Cr. I could have grinded that in 10 mins. But it was a grind traveling over 400Ly to 4 Vistor beacons. One of which I had to land on a planet to Find. Yes that took 10 mins to do. But the rest, well.

I my view Credits is not the be all and end all, but this is supposed to be a FUN Game, as my good lady tells me it seems to increase my stress not decrease it.

Thanks again for the Information though. Regards Lankspeed.

I think that's a bit harsh, selecting an object and pointing your ship at it is about a fundamental as it gets, in this game...

I think your good lady is correct! It sounds like you simply don't like this game. The activities you've mentioned are fun...

I was a Great Elite (80's) Fan, and indeed most of that type of game for years. When Dangerous appeared I was over joyed. But Afetr a few days realised it was a CONNECTED game. Ok never been into that before but have to Move on [hehe]. What Did anoy me was not able to assign NPC's to help me (Hire) You can now great. But still not as a Flight wing.[cry] Still there is time DEVS are you listening.

My big Gripe I suppose is the Powerplay CRAP and the fact they change the Goal Posts every few weeks/months. What I mean by that is the way I play the game get used to it sort it out. Then it all blows up and changes and I have to develop a whole new Strategy.

Hope some of that makes sense [yesnod]

Thanks for Listening Regards Lankspeed.

@lankspeed... i see your point but perhaps a bit harsh? When i look at the requirements of the mission i work out what is involved, how long it will take and what is the reward. And then decide based on the available information whether i want to do it or not. For that very reason i've not done any multiple visitor beacon ones. Im elite explorer and dont need the scan money so i do other stuff instead. If i was building up explorer status and needed the money then i would certainly give it a punt.

Anyone who has played elite dangerous must surely know that the default position is to point at whatever thingy you are presented with to make something happen? Even i worked this one out and i aint the smartest pencil in the box ;-)

Yes Agreed. I have come to that conculsion, I think i am being to simplistic!

Yes true But what for some reason I did not spot that. Still I have now done multi hop and exployer type jobs and as someone else said it can be quite rewarding to work out the best routes and such like.
