Data Leak Quest

[PET]

So... I'm just starting to learn X4. I started with that start that at some point is sending you to find a data leak. I got a message for a station suggestion that data leak or something.

I have spent like 2 hours looking for every corner of that station... no data leak.

I installed a workshop item that supposed to tell you where the leaks are. It says 0.

So... is it possible for stations to not have any kind of leaks?
If yes... WHY THE FU%# IS THE GAME SUGGESTING ME AS A NEW PLAYER TO GO TO A BASE THAT HAS NO LEAKS???

Thank You

It is possible for a station to not have any leaks and its random. If it is the Hatikvah quest you don't need to go to that station. Any station from that same faction should work.

While using signal indicator mod be sure in what mode it is - every time you switch it on/off it changes between showing leaks/signals/all

Also it may not work in 7.0 :)
Also also it's really not necessary now - go to scan mmode and pay attention to small indicator below shield - it will show up when near leak and it's is kinda directional.

be careful when using the mods for signal leaks, they can mess with quests, the one that increases range especially, I believe the last time I used the identifier 1, that stopped me getting the signal leak for HQ quest.

At the very least make sure they have both been updated recently, or I simply would not use them,

I deactivated that one. I'm trying with a new one that supposed to mark the leaks on your map. That one told me that there are 0 or smth. I'm trying to find another station.

Yea. I found Data Leaks at another station.

Down side is that I'm getting detected and I get like 3 ships after my ass.

Its normal that you get 3 ships after you, thats why you should use a fast ship and flee (or a strong ship and fight but early game you probaply don't have one.) They will follow you for some time but not forever

Technically they will follow you forever, until they die. Since they are pirates they will be hostile to any random non–pirate station you want to hide behind.
