Working a mission for 3 rebel data trans. Go to system and first thing I notice is signal sources not showing on my Nav screen. Shows everything else in system but not signals (unidentified, weak, strong...etc). Even when I'm looking right at them they do not show on nav screen. I was seeing something about scanning nav beacons, so I got as close to one as possible (I do not have a discovery scanner or detailed surface scanner) nothing. What has changed. I would normally fly around slow while looking at my nav panel and as soon as a weak signal source showed up I would lock on it. Do they still have weak signal source? Found a few unidentified signals visually but not weak.
Engineers Weak Signal Source????
- Thread starter Glock_N_Load
- Start date
Scan the Nav Beacon (Lock on to the white one), check the system map and it will indicate the general area the target items are in, when you get there wait until a USS with blue text appears. That is the one you want.
Thanks, I will give that a try
Filters. You need to make sure in Set Filters to toggle on signal sources (and anything else you want). They do still display on the nav panel.
Edit: gone are the non-descript weak/strong etc USS, since the last patch they hint at what's in them when you target them for a few seconds

Done a couple of these and never touched the filters. Maybe I already had them set, not sure.
Yea I seen that. Told me gun fight going on between 4 ships. Another said 0 threat. Thanks again Cmdr's. One weird thing after patch I had to reset my fire groups.
You may have to be a respectable distance from the beacon to scan it - not sure how far - but close up it doesn't seem to work.
I do not have any of the discovery scanners. Do u have to leave super cruise? I did and went right up to the nav point and stopped, it finally scanned. Got a mission update and it went by the book from there.
