Solving the "Sunken Ship" Quest

How to find the planet whose image you found on the sunken ship

Solving the Quest

At one point, you will find a planetary map on a sunken ship.

The key to finding it is not actually the planetary image or the text block in the upper left, it is the star map on the bottom

The most important thing is the colors - there are only a few blue stars. Most of them have the wrong number of planets, and if they don't, the planets are not the right color on your star map. An example:

There is only one system with a blue star that has the same number and colors of planets:

The exact location is -18.68 X -42.49, just one hop away from the Provisional Capital of the Araona

You most likely visited that system before. Maybe you noticed that (in the current game version at least) the planet reverts to a (!) even after surveying it as soon as you visit a different system, yet when you returned, it stated that "Survey completed". This is because you did not have that quest at the time, revisit it and you can actually survey it again.

Thanks for this. I totally forgot about this sidequest after getting it ^^

I had no idea this had the 7th key nor how to do it. I spent hours fucking around before finally giving up and finding this guide - which just happened to be the right quest.

I don't think anyone would actually have problems with this, this "guide" is just for lazy people like me that don't want to look at every blue star on the map :)
