Strange Matter?

[Tyrax]

I'm stuck at this late game stage. I've explored all available systems, with the exception of Sephar which obliterate me and I also don't have 200 Iridium for the trader. I've already found the black hole (collapsar?) and also done the finding gormyr quest, yet the strange matter has no update...I flew by the black hole again and no new logs/dialogue.

What's the status of the mission? If you submit your save in game via F8 I can take a look.

Here's a screenshot with the two related missions and their status:

It looks like you found the Lost Goryr vessel. That mission is supposed to lead you near the source of the Strange Matter. Are there any unexplored stars near where you found their ship?

None visible, I'll do another pass around that area I guess... Could be I explored it before the mission and I forgot about it. So it's not the black hole?

I feel this mission needs a bit more guiding, so far it was very smooth with the crew chiming in with a location after a while, especially when you forget what you explored 5 hours ago :D

The Strange Matter region is added after this mission starts. Specifically, there's a second ship you discover during the mission that should point you toward it. If you submit your save in game via F8 I'll see if I can figure out what happened.

I found it! It was in a pink Nebula around that general area, but it didn't show up on scanner until I actually got veeery close. The gormyr ship was actually farther away from that so it never showed up on the map.

Honestly, if you wouldn't have pointed me in the right direction, I wouldn't have thought to look over there. So maybe we should have the astro or observation officer channel your hints :D

Nevermind, lol. Reading is hard.

***PSA UPDATE 25/10/2024*** (For those still having trouble)

Strange Matter Mission:
Looking for "Strangelets"
"... is unaware of any potential source of strange matter"

COLLAPSAR > Coordinates: -28.5 X, 13.5 Y

Shoot and collect the "stuff" ejecting from the star. It will only count as Strangelets, once you begin looking for it.

-28.5 -13.5 Collapstar. Projectiles fly out of the star, if destroy drop stranglets.

^^ that mission is pretty challenging. You have to fight off some enemies and also the pulses coming from the star while it shoots off the dark matter which pushes you away the closer you get.

It helps if you have lasers and target those bolts of green coming out of the star but you have to be quick to get them. The bolts itself fizzle after a few AUs distance; and if you destroy the green bolts that drop DMs you also have to be quick to nab them with your tractor beam before they become inert.

This mission is horrible. I cannot even get close to them.

EDIT: And when I finally get it, I get pushed into the debri and lose 30 minutes as my game explode. Why do the dev hate their players this much? Game is pretty good bot so many small tediums brings it down.

Sorry you found it frustrating-- it was one of the later missions added to the game. Maybe could use some hinting from the crew, e.g. The Collapsar emits 6 strangelets in a hexagonal sequence

Make sure your engines don't suck. :)
