Can't Find Megaship

[Brotherman Bill]

I'm in Djeranses on a mission to destroy turrets on a megaship, but I can't find it at all.
Can I get some help?

[Amon]

Are'nt you supposed to use your discovery scanner once in the system to get the location of the Point of Intrest (PIO)?

[Skapeven]

the discovery scanner and the nav beacon do not uncover the megaship. I am having this same problem.

Use the FSS scanner.

Use the FSS scanner.

This: use the FSS to find Signal Sources in the system

I have never found a single megaship. At the moment i've been flying the system for about two hours and found nothing mission related

Keep in mind that this event happened well over a year ago, I doubt that they left this thing active.

Regular megaships can be found all across the bubble.

Before thread gets closed, i can add that some megaships also follow routes between four-five systems and their flight log can be downloaded so it's possible to follow them around.
(they tend to offer various events like attack/defend/repair or xeno)

At a point you were also able to dock at some of them and they would have a far destination, making it possible to use them as a way of transportation.

Whenever I've done missions to scan megaships, they've never been marked as mission targets (the old blue/orange combos) - I've just matched names against the POI marker.

Dunno about destroying turrets, though. Not done those

Edit: Just seen the OP was from 3 years ago 🤦‍♂️

Still relevant, same issue, hit system , scan beacon, check navigation and nothing there….?

Still the same answer: FSS the system, you'll find the megaship near one of the planets further out.

i have this issue as well, but i have used fss on the whole system. even the signal sources, but i cannot find this ship. it gives no info on inara as well.

[Sighman]

It'll be out around a planet on the periphery of the system. If you fss the planets, as you zoom in it should show signal sources in that vicinity.

It's there, it's just hard to find sometimes.

[Planewalker]

Use the "External Panel" Navigation tab - the megaship will be listed there.
They are not shown at the system map, just like faction installations.
(Scanning the navbeacon will reveal them all)

[DMC101]

Make sure you have all the filters for planets and moons and such selected in your navigation panel

[WhiteBoar]

scan the Nav Beacon
