How do I trigger the Terran plot?

[Peter Griffin]

I've done the main plot, the only "special discoveries" I've seen mentioned are the ones I sometimes pick up with my ship and turn in to the guild rep. Is there a particular system I should be looking in?

Once you get a certain amount of Discovery Points, Explorer Guild Reps start offering the Special Discovery as a reward.

Apparently you need to have built at least 1 TOA before being able to kick off the plot. This requirement wasn't working prior to 1.2, but now as far as I know you need it.

The one you built for default story that starts you off in the Void met the requirements for me.

I've done the hub plot and am currently working on gathering the materials for the first player-built TOA. Have already got myself my TL for scooping up the various claimable ships to send on to the HQ and once I secure a source of Jumpdrives I can kit out a couple of TSs for the job.
