Horizons [SRV] Need to scan a data point, but cannot reach it

Hi all,

I feel a bit "dumb" asking this. I've got about 200 hours+ in ED, but most of it by exploration and bounty hunting. I just recently got into the Engineers to improve my exploration ship's jump range and I need to find some commodities around.

One of the commodities that I need is from a mission reward. That mission requires me to go into a low-security planetary base and scan a data point. I've used and scan data points in the past, so this ain't an issue. But the data point that I need to scan seems to be locked behind doors somehow ? The mission is supposed to be "covert", but the first time I went blasting off everything. I assumed that a door closed due to alarms and prevented me to access the data point required for the mission. So I went to supercruise and went back to the base a second time to force a "reset" of the mission. The second time I went slowly in my SRV and didn't raise any alarm. But I can't find the damn entrance to that data point. A door seems to be closed somehow.

Am I missing something ?

Thanks,

Cmdr SpookyNeo:)

Is it a base with a big square walled off area that you can't get into and lots of big pipes like a petrol refinery? If so the data point is on the other side of one of the walls and you can scan it from outside if you get close enough to the wall. Alternatively it is possible to boost over the wall if the gravity is low enough but that is likely to get you attacked for being inside an exclusion zone. This thread has links to pictures of bases that show where the data points are.

Yesterday night I went back there. I couldn't scan the data point required for the mission, but there was a data point closer to the locked door that I had to scan to open the door. So I scanned the security data point, which opened the door and I was able to scan the data point required for the mission. :)

Look on my ninja style SRV driving, this vehicle is very capable (also in incapable driver hands) :D :D
