Transponder vendor location?

[ShaggyMoose]

I found one of these guys on the first station I visited and then never saw them again... I have talked to everyone on about ten stations with no luck. Unfortunately I can't remember which station I found him on originally... It seems I can spawn one with admin but was hoping to avoid that. Any advice?

Usualy the vendor is one of the two NPC in part of the station that sell station product. Have no clue how it can be missing, sry.

The NPC that sells weapons/electronics/food/medicine seems to be working fine in every station. The other NPC in that area just gives random comments.

Okay, thanks to your tip I decided to load up all the requested materials and head to that NPC. Lo and behold, the "complete quest" marker shows and I was able to get the transponder. I didn't work this out previously because there is no compass arrow pointing to this NPC, unlike other quests.

Cheers for the assist ToX.

Glad it was helpful :)

So, I have all the required items (and a hell of a lot more than I'd need, because for quite a while I forgot about this quest), but I can not hand the materials in.
My quest tracker does not properly update. It tracks the materials I have, and shows them as greyed out (i tested dropping all materials and picking them back up again, it does update the values properly), but it does not update the tracker to the "hand the materials in" status. So whenever I speak to any of the Human Transponder Vendor NPCs, all I get is random and useless default responses.
Can anyone help please? :/

Hello, I had the same (no arrow, grayed out items). I found him on a food distribution station, but I think any Space station you find, there he would be. The station looks like a black and white screw or a cone or so, flying in the space.
Time for your mech to go for another walk to visit friendlies.

Hey,
yeah, I forgot to update this.
I managed to get it to work finally.
I put most of the required resources with the exception of one stack of each into storage (including pixels via the machine). Then manually edited the save file and removed any instance of the required resource form there. Then picked the items back up from storage and then he finally talked to me and I got my own space station :D
