Since installing S.V., can't find radio signal that starts main scientific research quest line.

[slobnoxious]

I've found about a dozen and a half signals in the last hour, none of which give me the mission chain start .

Is it just me?

Can it be any station any where, or does int have to be in the hex you started in?

Question Have you already talked to him and disabled the quest? Might already be active if you did and you just need to enable it. Check "Shift M" But yes any station will work.

X4 worked great until i added the Split DLC content today, but here is the fix.
I was excited and got into a game and went to Exit the game and the game seemed to lock up. Had to bring up the old Task manager but even it wasn't showing up there. And it didn't show up on the Windows Bottom Bar, and Steam Showed the game still running after the exit.. So i did what anyone would do and uninstalled and reinstalled.. Was all excited again, until it did the same thing. So i decided to do a COMPLETE UNINSTALL. Here is how to properly do that. Before you uninstall from Library right click and find where you installed the Local Files keep that folder up but DON'T delete it just yet. Go back to Library and uninstall ( X 4 ) then delete the X 4 Folder where you installed Browse Local Files. After that just one more place to delete.. Go to Your PC Documents / Egosoft / X 4 folder and delete that as well. (Note you can save your save your save files there before you delete IF you wanna keep your current game. just look for Save Folder you will find your save games there.) After you backed them up if you wanted too. Delete the X 4 folder there as well. Then reinstall and all will be better.

This method may help fix any problem you are having IF you already tried to do a normal uninstall and you are still having issues.

Checked my mission logs and it's not in there, so I haven't done it yet. This sucks.

It just looks like a sparkler , you have completed it before i'm assuming.

[slobnoxious]

yes. I'm finding ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of them, but its never that 6-legged salamander chick with the Gungan head and whiskers.

When you find it fly into it wait and it will say Push F Key but you don't have too. The Boron will start talking to you.

Sticky. I appreciate the help, but you don't understand my problem.

I find signals, I get them to start talking, but it's never the scientist. It's always rand B.S. missions I don't need.

[Sticky]

But you have completed it before ? So you know what to expect?

[Sticky]

I see it all the time in my current start i am trying to avoid it. I wanna just make Ships with it and bring in the Wares from my stations in the universe.

If you happened to reject the mission, it will be some number of hours before it becomes available again.

I'm not sure that you actually have to reject Bosa. I have a suspicion that, if you started to unlock a signal and then flew out of range, it might have the same effect.

[Sticky]

There is you have the option to i don't have time right now. Or i can't be bothered with that now. i remember it. But its after you are talking with him

[mikemonger]

Maybe you have to be in the start area? My most recent play through I only had to hit 2 or maybe 3.

But I don't think it matters which station it is.

[Aeekto]

It's allways the first one you scan after a new playthrough.
if you refused it, it will take severall hours to appear again.
if you did the start with the station already owned, he will neve appear since he is already at the station.
