Horizons Tip Off Mission Ground base assault - what do I do?

I hate games that walk you by the hand through a mission, i.e. follow x number of waypoints and mission complete.

The lack of 'hand-holding' is one of the things that attracted me to Elite Dangerous.

However, some degree of exposition is useful; case in point is a 'tip off' mission I got today.

So I got the the planet, and there is a base there with ++ after the name - i guess that's tough.

So I've taken out all the turrets, skimmers, blown up all the power / security tanks.

I know I need to scan something, but I have no idea what.

I've found a few data points that are 'public' and after scanning one I get a timer counting down just 45 seconds.

What do I do while that's counting down?

There is a data point that is 'inactive' and I have no idea how to activate it.

Am I missing something or some mission help or is my mission broken?

Thanks

Hi GhostBuster,

there are at least 3 or 4 com towers, one of them is named a little different. To get access, jump into your turret of the SRV to look up (important) and then scan the tower. Your right, if there is a data package outcome and not a 45 seconds timeout for security reasons. You need to configure a button to datascan the tower. Hope you make it. Was a bit tricky to escape from the fighter afterwards. The package is worth about 1 mil credits.

If it's a base scan mission, you don't have to kill anything. Just land and go scan the data beacon with your SRV.

If the result is this, what do you do next? Is it a scam, with no rewards or anything?

You should have a data package in your transactions panel that you can sell at a station contact. Usually worth a few hundred thousand. U may also get a unit of data material (for engineering/ synthesis).
