  • Опубліковано 27 чер 2022
  • Hi Guys, Raith from Blackwood Games Australia here. As you all know by now, I'm fairly new to Elite Dangerous and I have still much to learn but I have a passion for helping others with the things I had to learn myself or piece together. This video is a rough guide for new players who are having issues figuring out where to go and what to do and especially trying to figure out how to properly scan the Datalink once the Megaship is found. Be safe out there guys!

    Hi everyone, it seems there is a lot of confusion as to how to find the ship in the first place. So I am going to make a few pointers to help.
    1. Go to the system where the mission is located.
    2. Scan the Nav becon for the system.
    3. Enter into Framshift and open your NAV panel.
    4. Look on that panel for the name of the ship you are looking for
    5. Target and go to the location.
    6. At the location, get your hardpoints on that have a Scanner
    7. Scan the ENTIRE ship
    8. Get closer and you will see the contacts for EACH part of the ship on your nav panel.
    9. Get within 200m of the Data Relay and get your hardpoints up again and scan..
    10. Put your hardpoints away and run for the hills

    i did two of these missions and everything works fine. and a usefull note . if you cant find the mega ship dont scan the navigation beacon . use fss scanner. scan everything and then look at the navigation panel . the ship must be at points of interest panel

    Thank you! It might seem easy but for new players it really helps. Last night I could not complete the mission, I had my hardpoints configured and could not scan. I can now see what I was missing is targeting the ship. Also, visiting the nav beacon is not so obvious to the new players, but I did manage to do that on my own. Thanks again.

    After watching your video I eventually found the Ship Log Uplink, Thank you.
    However, every time I approach I find a battle starts up around the Megaship. Before watching your video I had already searched the megaship and all the fighting ships had ignored me, but now as I got closer to the uplink I also came under fire. My shields only lasted a few seconds and I was down to 45% hull as I boosted out of the area. They did not follow. Once my shields recovered I tried again but was quickly attacked again as I got closer.
    This was a "Threat Level 0" mission so I was not expecting this.
    ------------------------
    I'll do an update if I work it out.

    Nothing popped up after scanning the nav becon for me, i supercrused to see if i could see it on my contacts or my nav and nothing comes up. I even read everything one by one thinking maybe it didn't turn blue....it's just...not in the system it says it is. This game is incredibly frustrating. I waste hours every day on broken missions.

    • @BlackwoodGamesAU
      @BlackwoodGamesAU  Рік тому +3

      Sometimes I find it's best to scan the becon, then you look on your navigation panel. If you turn around and look at the quest you'll see the name of the ship you're looking for. Once you have done that you can go through all the ships in the system and find the one you want. I have had to do that multiple times. When you drop out of cruise you'll find that the mission auto updates if you're at the right ship

    Why can't I scan the bloody ship? I don't know if it makes any difference that I don't have a mission to do it. I just wanted to steal some shield upgrade materials via recon limpet.
    But when I lock onto the ship, no matter what distance I'm at, the data link scanner says it is out of range. I cannot do the initial scan you did.

    So I took 2 of these missions, I went and did the first one and it all worked just like in this video. When I tried to do the second one I discovered it was the same ship. My scan of the log failed because it said I already did it. There are several of these missions available but they all go to the same ship. Can you only do this mission once?!

      @@BlackwoodGamesAU thanks for following up with me on this... I've eventually figured it out about the nav beacon and how it works, looks to me it's like a device that keeps logs on all the ships entering the system at least for the last hours or so...
      Sadly I kinda lost my interest in ED because of too much grinding... it's a fascinating space simulation but needs a lot of improvement... and the always grinding to accomplish something significant is a big turn off for me... I barely log in once a month just to look at my Anaconda or Python in a hangar... I can't stand the fact they don't have a third person view while we're using the ships...the free camera and photo mode doesn't count, will break the immersion while doing whatever it is we are doing with our ships when not sitting in the hangar...
      The grinding mentality and no third person views is a big no no for me...

      @Paul if you hit anything or take any aggressive action on your way in you'll summon the ships that come to attack. The trick is to scan the point without hitting the ship or crashing into it whilst looking for the data point. You'll have a few split seconds to boost the hell outta there and activate fsd
