How to do Odessey Salvage missions?

[Serath]

I'm supposed to find a crash site. "Confirm the target location" it says. FSS reveals nothing. Nav beacon reveals nothing. Navigation tab reveals nothing. What am I missing here?

Bump

I am also looking for an answer to this.
I've done all this, wasted 2 hours and still nothing.

Help?

Have you mapped the planets? That's how you find crash sites usually.

Ah, so it's that mechanic. I haven't done that in a while, forgot it was even a thing.

Well, that's five missions now all failed since Odyssey was released. Have yet to finish one.

Fly close to the planet, the POI automatically pops up, no mechanics needed

That makes it even better. Just remembered I actually have to buy the DSS.

I'm not having any technical issues, except where my arc welder/cutter isn't there when I hit the '5' button. It worked in the tutorial but not in the actual missions. Do you have to purchase the thing er whut? And why aren't any Breech weapons available at the stores? Also what's the deal with only carrying only too few of grenades and medi-pins, and the other stuff?

You have to buy a suit that includes the arc cutter. Maverick I believe.

No idea on the E-breach. So far no vendor has sold them. I would say it sounds like a black market thing, but then so does the arc cutter and overload thingy, which they do sell.....so.....CONSISTENCY......YAY!

Woo! Ok ty.

This ♥♥♥♥ is for the birds. There has GOT to be a faster way to do these without having to manually fly to each and every planet. Will they really just pop up or do I really have to scan planets?

If they updated all the old missions to stop putzing around and actually give you direct ways to find your mission objectives (scanning nav beacon, mission giver giving you estimates in the communications tab, etc.) WHY would they go back to square one with new content?

It's like I'm playing the game from years ago when you had to spend ages looking for your target or whatever.

Hate bumping my own crap, but ♥♥♥♥ it. I seriously need help on this. I would like to spend as least time as possible doing the wrong thing when I could of just done something else. I'd like to complete at least ONE mission for once instead of failing everything.

Select mission in nav panel > lock highlighted mission > fly to highlighted planet as arriving check nav panel again it will show crashsite highlighted in blue > land near fight off hostiles.

Warning sometimes deadly plasma snipers are there and 2-3 drop ships dropping 4-6 npc to combat sometimes no one.

Good to have e breach sometimes need to get into a locked crate so need to hack with e breach which can be found in lawless or dictator systems.

I did a mission like that last night and you have to look for POI called "Impact Site", then land there and cut open the back panel.

What is "lock highlighted" mission? The only thing I can do is close the tab. I don't think that has ever been a thing. You never had to "lock" a mission for the mission/globe icon to show up in the navigation tab, they do that automatically.

Don't need FSS or to scan anything just select the mission in nav panel or in transaction panel go to system map find highlighted planet with blue globe symbol lock the targeted mission planet then head to that planet and do not go into atmosphere. Once near planet check the nav panel it suppose to have highlighted "crash site", "Impact site" or maybe even "salvage site" lock it then head to it.
