Cargo Mission = Vist Thales: Triassic <3>

[Misguided]

Got a cargo mission to Sumitlor, and got told to Vist Thales: Triassic <3>.

Can't find anything of the sort, and alt-n keeps pointing me at random ships.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the help.

EDIT: Ack! Just saw that I put this in gameplay instead of the help forum..... mea culpa. Can it be moved?

Are you on windows by any chance if so it may not be recognizing the "alt" key this may be a fault in the library we use for I/O so remapping the command may be necessary.

I found that happens on high pay cargo runs (either via mission computer or via merchant in bar mission. Either way I found that if I dock somewhere (station/planet) save the game, quit, then restart game and reload that particular save .. I can then find the new ship it gives me for the mission completion. Occasionally I might need to do that a couple/three times before I can get a ship existing in the system. I suspect that when that occurs it may be because the destination ship was at a jump point when entering the system and it happened to jump shortly after that. Or perhaps it landed/docked at a planet or something.

I have flown around the system looking at the various jump points and stations/planets for the listed vessel. (A Thales btw is a pirate capital ship or that is the impression I have gotten when seeing them.) And I have found the u key more useful for looking for a vessel. n (and alt+n) doesn't always give me the vessel for a mission completion. u cycles through all man-made objects (leaving out jump points and planets . . and giving you all the ships/vessels in range of your sensors .. a good reason for getting advanced sensors .. bigger sensor range).

Thanks for the replys.

I took Genghis' idea, and when I reloaded the game, it was telling me to go to a mining base... which hadn't even existed previously. However, it was right where it was supposed to be this time. Go figure.

Back to trying to make money.
