Visitor beacon ?

[lnomsim]

What are we supposed to do here ?
My passenger ask me to go there, and then ?
No new message, and nothing to do. The mission does not update.

Target the beacon to scan it?

Yes, it will make them very happy.

[Savrola-Games]

I'm thinking it will activate the beacon's tourist information and provide a 'mission update' resolution. I think you only need your normal ship scanner to do it.

[brbrbr]

yep. tourism was weird and complicated business and customers - usually hard to understand 100% :=)

[lnomsim]

ok, for some reson I couldnt target it, it works now.
Evevn though I had to drop half my mission since after scanning it, it updated the system I needed to go...... but not the planet.... or the speciifc place I needed to go....

than you stop by the nav beacon scan it and u get the rest of the info... because that system is unknown to you ...

Read the mission description in the 2nd tab of your left hand panel.

[lnomsim]

You mean that one ?

The one that tell me to go to the Djalbara system but to the Velname 1 planet ? Which is in the Velname system by the way. And I already visited the visitor beacon there.

Absolutely all my adventurer passenger missions ended like that.

Same here. I visited one of two required places, scanned the beacon, got a mission update to go on to the next. Now I'm there and no mission update, no beacon to visit and the mission text says my target is the system I'm in but the beacon from the first one. Which is obviously wrong.

On a side note, is it me or are there more interdictions since the latest small update? Before I traveled 500ly with only one, now I encountered 3 in just one system and 8 in 150ly.

A known bug. The name of the touristic beacon is still written in the mission description, under the next star system name - look for it in the navigation window, get closer than 1000Ls to planets if you can't see it right away.

Check your cargo bay. One of previous missions probably rewarded you with some engineering materials - those attract pirates like flies. Sell them and you will have all quiet passenger tours.

[FlundR]

Forgot to add, I didn't have any cargo. Most pirates left me alone after seeing it but some still wanted to kill me even though I was stopped and had weapons inactive. Maybe one of my passengers was secretly an important person who wanted to reinvent chocolate milk or so. :D (mission text said they were not wanted though)

But now, since I started long way trading I didn't encounter even one so I guess it was just coincidence or bad luck.

I just figured it out. You select the beacon from your contact list like you do to dock. Then your mission updates.

[lois.levy]

Hi, I've struggled with passengers missions not updating. A trick that worked for me was as follows:

If, once at destination, the mission isn't updating, scan the target (destination, beacon, etc..), by pressing the [T] key.

Something else: If the passengers refuse to disembark, it might be because the mission can't be completed, usually because the reward is -also- under the form of goods/materials and your cargo is full. Just clear up some cargo space and the mission can then be completed.

Hope this helps!

[RvB Churchaboose]

Well I've scanned the beacon but my mission isn't updating at all. What gives?

You have to remove it from being your current targeted destination in your navigation panel, then just swing the ship and press t to target manually and then scan wihtout it being set as a destination point. it's wierd
