Unsure how to progress the mission "Larceny: Seize the hush from a hidden cache"

I obtained the mission from someone in a station while on foot.

'Travel to the smuggler's hideout in the XYZ system.'
'Obtain the requested item.'
'(!)Access to a ship is required.'

I tried scanning the Nav Beacon
I'm in the system, and when viewing the Navigation pane, there is one planet with blue text. It has 4 settlements, but none of those are blue.
I've mapped the planet with a surface scanner: 7 Signals Detected; Notable signals: Biological (3), Human (4)...

I've flown around for a couple hours at ~4km above the surface, but have seen none of the familiar indicative blue circles. I roved around in the SRV for a long time as well, and only ever found some plants to scan with the genetic sampler.

---I just noticed you can change a filter when using the Surface scanner, but my only options are: 'All', 'Bacterial Colonies', 'Shrubs', 'Tussock'

+1 for same issue, no way of identifying the hideout. Have searched the new "Irregular Marker" POIs but had no result.

Have a feeling these missions are currently bugged and the site is not being marked where it should be.
 
Ah so you're in the same boat as I. Luckily for you, you can at least change the filter. For me that does absolutely nothing at all.
 
Having the same problem - trying to work out how to solve it - if anyone finds a way please let me know!
 
Well I'm not gonna waste any more time on this. I'll check back on this game in a few months. This is plain broken.
 
Not fixed yet! found 6 "irregular signals". landed at a couple just to find crash sites without my cache. think I'll pass on this one, too.
 
That's weird, I did it a number of time without problem. It's actually one of my fav because it give you tons of components. Scanning the Nav beacon gave the location right away, but it might be bugged in some system, maybe try it from another station ?
 
I just completed one as well, so they do work sometimes.

I DSS'd the planet and I got a list of a few irregular signals, a power source and a crash site, none of which were the mission target, but when I flew closer, the mission target eventually showed up in my list and I was able to pick it.
 
Aye, I dropped the original mission and picked up some new ones that I was able to complete with no (major) issues. I was mostly posting originally to ensure that it was not a 'me' issue. I'm not 100% sure if the discovery scanner was required, so I've just made a habit of only taking salvage missions while in an equipped ship, and other missions I'll just use the taxi
 
Worked for me last night. The irregular markers POI was blue for the mission. Went in, killed the enemies and looted the hush.
 
My guess is this only sometimes fails to spawn the relevant POI, while other times it probably works. Unfortunately that is a dealbreaker since you end up wasting a lot of time for nothing other than loss of reputation.
 
Same. Did a couple larceny missions and all went good. Accepted one more in the EHI system, pointing to the EHI 1 planet, and no target POI there. I checked under every rock before understanding it may have been bugged.
 
problem with mission is i think when its spawn in system witout landable planets, as that was case for me. No planets i could land and mission target didint appear at all, had to abandon
 
Well I guess the question is are folks just DSS'ing a planet , not seeing the mission POI and then aborting ? Often times they won't show on an initial DSS sweep until you get a lot closer into the planet - as in crossing into the blue "orbital" zone .
