Kingdoms End existing save - inactive gate in Sanctuary of Darkness

[Bullpup]

Greetings Xers, all the guides and vids on Sanctuary of Darkness seem to be from the perspective of a Boron fresh start. I just went through the gate with the other fleets and didn't get any mission or cutscene in Sanctuary of Darkness. Found the other gate but it's inactive. Didn't die but did encounter the various wildlife and environmental issues. I have no relevant missions, did the HAT main quest ages ago, Boso has nothing to say. Do I need to just explore more or did I miss something?

Did you get the mission from the Alliance of the Word?

i started it from scratch and found the gate , but i keep dying, im only in a small ship and it destroys in 3 seconds, not enough time to turn around and i cant find the path through, left is dead , right is dead and straight on is death traps, the blue on the map dosnt seem to be the death areas as i die in them and out of them , So how do i tell where is safe , and how do i navigate through it when i cant fly and use map together? why this Obsession with deathtraps space anyway ?

Follow the asteroids like the Boron girl suggested. In the map, it's the red regions.

No mission from Alliance of the Word, only a voluntary mission I picked up to deliver supplies to the Boron shipyard.

Then I suggest you check you missions panels.

Check your missions there should be an auto accept one you need to make active.

ah red , ok thanks, i cant hear what is being said by any of them, i have the music down too but its still too low, and the text is too small. anyway thanks, Red normally would mean danger but ok . ima go that way . :)

In this game, red means "asteroids", blue means "gas" and purple is a mix of the two.

Edit: check the legend in the top-right corner of the map screen for more information.

Thanks, solved. It's been a long while since a critical mission was buried in there. Last few years we were treated to cutscenes or comms from Boso/new NPC.

Surprised Egosoft decided to go 'back' to this approach, was travelling all over Sanctuary of Darkness looking for clues or NPCs or triggers and basically getting fried a lot.

I'm sure they got complaints about that approach too. :P

Same thing happened to me but no mission is appearing in logs just tangling with Taladi. Nothing for me to activate either that is about boron.
