Sanctuary of Darkness - Nav Beacons (Spoiler!) Bug?

[Pille]

Hello there,

I am currently doing the mission where you have to place nav beacons in santuary of Darkness... I have placed said beacons at the places where the game told me to, but the mission does not gon any further and I am stuck?

Is this a bug? The guiding system has vanished, and I get an update "Nav Beacons correctly placed" but the plot still says: "PLACE THOSE NAV BEACONS YOU MORON!"

Is this supposed to happen?

Best regards

There is no bug.

you have to place severall ones. the missionmarker marks allways only your last placed one (and your final destination) and you have to place the next somewhere inbetween those 2 markers and have to make sure there is no inviromental damage in a direct line between them.

I disagree.
Used basicly same positions like you.
Same way how i done it in the other quests in X4 in .... pffff 4-5 saves? easiely....

Took me 3 attempts (with same positioning every time) to trigger the next quest.
There btw the Expedition cruiser just flew off into the dark after boso gave me the next quest, so now upon undocking i take immideatly environmental dmg and blow up.
New save, no mods, pure vannilla joy.

Please dont tell me the only way to get past this nonsense is to start a new savefile? I swear, when it comes to plot missions, Egosoft has the most annoying and gamebreaking bugs in their games... It sucks the fun out of everything if I have to fear that something might be broken if a mission doesnt advance immideatly

Do I have to place them in a specific order? the game only tells me to place the beacons at the gates and "secure a safe way"...

start at the bottom and then make a route to the inactive gate like the game told you

Dont know if its the case for your save but im right now at exacly this point.
Saved on the Expedition cruiser after getting new quest from boron, noticed the cruiser just flew off into the dark....
Now upon undocking i blow up before reaching any "savezone" due to environmental dmg.
Nothing to reach, im doomed to die....
Last autosave was the one i had to use for the beacon sace-scum and im not doing this again today....

I only have markers at the north and south gate, nothing in between. I tried to place the beacons like your screenshot, but still nothing happens.

Reloading a save file from a mission earlier doesn´t help either, it is still the same situation. Game says "place beacons" when I already did what it asked for

Do same as i done....

Save scum....

Load-do-again-load-do-again sooner or later it works....
Took me 3 attempts....

ive tried 5 times now and i can fly the whole route without taking damage. this mission is so aggravating.

apparently all beacons need to be in range of the previous if taht helps you, I kinda agree this mission is badly explained and you can complete it without the game understanding you completed it... Very annoying.

How do I know, when it is in range?

[Bozz 💀]

you see the mission circle around the beacon, place the next one in range of the previous etc...
