mega ship scanning

[Aigle édenté]

Have the mega ship scanning regular missions been removed recently ? I liked these missions, and now without them it is harder to complete weekly power play missions about scanning megaships. Please Frontier put them back !

I got two this week.
One to scan megaships in acquisition systems...
And one to scan megaships in reinforcement systems.

Definitely still there!
Must just be luck - I'm sure you'll get some more soon o7

no I think you talk about power play missions, I'm talking about the old megaships missions...

Oh I see!
I saw some last week - but haven't checked more recently - I'll have a look next time I log in

You don't need the missions to get merits for it, but it helps. I keep getting stuck with ground missions which I have no idea how to do.

Lots of people here happy to advise on ground missions (unless you don't have Odyssey, which would make them pretty tricky)

I have it, but haven't done much of it as it seems 99% of it involved breaking the law

You can get legal missions from the terminals in a station concourse. Any that you get from an NPC are illegal as far as I'm aware (and you can still get some illegal ones on the terminals too).

It's a game, and you may want to experience the highest notoriety level at least once. See how long you can run away from the special forces of terror that appear at the drop of a hat.
(Please note, I'm kidding. Unless you have tens or hundreds of millions of credits to throw away and the ability to leave the game running for nearly a day, please don't even think about trying it.)

Not if you go to my home area, where I set up 60 anarchy settlements you can do missions at.

Try Dainayiman, Heryshaf, Raidenwitha and surrounds.

I've checked a few mission boards, and it seems it's not just you, I can't see any megaship missions spawning either (Seems to just be planetary scan missions instead)
As far as I can tell, no one has reported it yet - might be worth adding it to the issue tracker;

Post the link here and I'll vote it up o7

If you confirm it to be a bug, go ahead. -just be mindful that the mission type requires a nearby megaship or it won't proc.

Support recommends not stacking Megaship Scan Ship Uplink missions.
(latest statement i read wrt megaships)

Did some a couple of months ago and there are two caveats to be mindful of:
The missions can stack but can bug out due the transient nature. (megaships move around)
-i did manage to stack a couple, however i also had the stack bug out. YMMV
