Find Strange Signal Origin quest

[badger vortex]

Does anyone know where this is? It says it should be in New Terran Federation space, but I've searched every planet and nothing pops up, or should there be some new planet/nebula that is not appearing for some reason.

[noobcommando]

for me it was the system Carina. however i cant figure out how to progress the quest further. cant scan it.

Click View the planet. There'll be a mission.

Look at the message, it actually shows you part of the planets name so you can work out where it is really quickly.

having problem with this one too, where does the planet name shown in the message though? All it mentioned is the commander's name.

It will have a mostly .....'ed out area where the sentance talks about location. But there were a couple of letters in it where you can compare them to all the possible planets.

Fly around inside of the Human region, and you'll find it. Then you have to chase it...

Having the same problem - checked each system like ten times over and nothing...

[Broken_Antenna]

is there a log? I need to read it back then..damn it.

There will be a cryptic message that will give you some letters on the planet. It will be a destroyed planet(one with skeleton mark). If you cant decypher clue just go on all dead planets inside terran federation

Any updates on this, gone to every planet with a lvl 10 sci officer, nothing. Where do I find this "research" Also, is there a way to pull up the old message?

[crudesasquatch]

If you're talking about the first mission you get at the beginning of Act 2...
You get a garbled message. You have to fly to each of the DEAD worlds inside of the Terran region. Once you find the planet you'll get another message saying "send a team down". Goto VIEW on that planet, and research with your scientist. Then you'll get a message that says "the wormhole moves". To track down the wormhole, it'll show a ! by the planet it is at. When you get there, do the VIEW again and research again... I think that's the sequence. Then fight the Cruul that show up.

The whole thing is buged. The first time I played I managed to get this issue resolved but, there was way too many issues with this game even though its pretty good. The biggest issue is completing a quest and the marker is still saying you didnt compleate it even though its maked complete. I played thru the campain 2x and was disapointed you cant man the most powerful ships with your crew its very disapointing.

Incorrect! I developed most of the planets BEFORE i got the message. The signal ended up being on a developed planet which was hard as hell to find. I eventually gave up searching and did this to find it:

Step 1) Save Game
Step 2) Sent all 8 officers in seperate shuttles exploring 8 planets at a time, skipped any events, until I finally found the planet. Ironically it was the furthest planet away from my base which is why it was so hard to find.
Step 3) Reload game. Now you know where to find it.

thank you very much. after i started reading this thread, i was about to give up because i also have most planets already developed and the quest was not on any undeveloped planets. but now i know that it can be on developed planets too so i think i just have to search more.

To me, it was Ceramus, a fully developed system near the edge of the Federation.
