How to find urgent kill order terrorists?

[Mikemk]

I've already scanned the outpost on the planet, and the mission updated telling me to search a particular system. Only thing is, I can't find the particular person in that system. There's nothing highlighted blue, and scanning the nav beacon didn't help.

Could the target just be flying around in SC?

What does your mission say now (left panel, mission tab)?

Is this a mission where you just need to kill a certain number of terrorirsts or a specific one? If specific one then yeah, there should be an instruction to fly near a particilar planet and look for the signal source there

(Did you try using your FSS to scan?)

If its a mission to kill X number of terrorists, then there won't be a specific location. You would just need to kill the required ships, which should be marked as terrorist.

Just guessing here, its been a while since i've done something like this.

a specific person.
I tried using the FSS, but didn't understand it.

You probably need to use the FSS.

Move the tuner to spikes all the way to the left to search for signal sources (is there one for mission objectives in particular? I forgot). Point your ship at solid white dots and zoom in to scan them.

You may have to set up your key bindings first.

1) be in the system that the mission says the target will be in.
2) scan the nav beacon if the system is populated
2) if no nav beacon use the FSS to look for a orange/bronze color circle (USS). The fss needs to be tuned to the bottom of the range.

3) The Mission signal source should show in blue in the left side panel (you may need to scroll down etc)
4) Drop into the USS like normal.
4) alternatively the target may be in supercruise (typcially an FDL, Conda, or Corvettte, but other ships are possible based on rank etc)

5) attack the target

Note: it is possible that the nave beacon/scanning will fail, and the mission will send you to another system to meet a 'informant' of sorts that will redirect you to another system to scan/ find the target.

I used the FSS till it said system scan complete, couldn't find. I'm going to try going back to where I originally scanned to find the system

[Mikemk]

Yup, I went back to the system where I originally scanned for his location, and a mission objective piopped up.

Anyone used FSS to locate a mission signal source? If so, does it indicate it as mission related?

FYI, system scan complete refers to the planets/moons in a system, and not USS/mission USS. You do not need to scan the planets etc just the USS (very bottom of the scan range)
