What's the best way to find a Nav beacon?

[Xerxes86]

I have been using the tactic of hanging around a Nav Beacons to find wanted people to get the rewards. Seems to be the best way to make money. But I have a hard time actually finding the beacons. I am pretty sure they are near suns, but I can fly around a long time without finding one. Is there a way to find them quickly and target them?

Open the left screen inside the cockpit(default hotkey "1") and under the navigation tab you can find it

ok I'm assuming you are keyboad mouse....

same screen that has the buttons for the galaxy/system map but you can switch over to the navagation menu next to it by pressing "A" and "D". then scroll up/down and find the Nav beacon then hit spacebar to select it... lock and you're on your way....

I think Nav beacons are only in inhabited systems, but glad you found what you were looking for. the A and D works on all of those menus, Q and E to move between menus and A/D to move within them, Same for the "4" menu.
