Outbreak Systems - Convoy Beacons?

[SeeJay]

Hi all.

I've done scanning at Convoy Beacons before to get Classified Scan Databanks.
Lots of ship spawning at each Convoy Beacon I visit.

Today however I've been testing 4 different systems in Outbreak State and visited
several beacons in each systems. Not once have any ships spawned at any of them!

Am I missing something here or is there a glitch?

Tried to log off/on but that didn't help. :-(

Anyone have any idea what to do?

Thanks in advance,
SeeJay

Beacons can be empty. It's just a matter of finding one that's active at that time.

You also have famine systems to check out.

Thanks Ottomic.

I'll give that a go.

Cheers.

As Ottomic said. My policy is if I don't see a convoy at the beacon by the time my FSD is charged I'm gone. If you do find a populated beacon, I recommend camping it and reloading ​until you have all the data banks you need. The T9's are the ones you want to scan for that one.

Cheers jason.

I seem to remember getting about one bank (3x) for each 20-30 T9 scans, so be prepared for quite a lot of that sweet sweet scanning action.

I scanned *everything*, or almost everything. T9s are the ones that can give you the most data per run, but if you position yourself behind a convoy it's a small amount of time for a few extra rolls. For unlocking ram tah I spent a good while doing that and I ended up getting a bunch of the required data off t6s and adders/haulers.

Well, I'm getting really tired of this B......t now.

I've visited 50+ systems (Outbreak) and I lost count on how many Convoy Beacons I've visited.
Not a single ship has spawned. Not ONE!!! I even visited some Famine State systems
but not a single CSD to be found sitting by the Distribution Center. :-(

Really nice design by the devs .... NOT!

I can understand those that rage-quit and stop playing now.

It seems to keep on this way, no convoy beacons at all, I'm still searching on Anarchy systems in Outbreak state, nothing, no luck. By statistics, I should have found something, I will plan to inform Devs of this thing.
