[4.20 HF2] Game ISSUE - Emergency broadcast for help

[Franc Kaos]

Keeps popping up from Yisha with no indication of how to follow it up. There's nothing on the radar, no comms (that I can see). Tutorial is apparently finished and the only mission is main plot, Xenon threat <very hard>, no guidance or destination.

I have no mods. Cheers.

Hi

Select the radar screen when it is still flashing and the details with Accept or Decline options will show on the right hand data panel.

Confused me too

[Franc Kaos]

Thank you I'm not sure that would ever have occurred to me since the radar just acts like a passive display.

[rp198419]

You are most welcome. I'm still discovering oddities like this myself.

It's a great game though and (currently at least) MUCH better than Elite Dangerous - and I've played that for 1,000 hour or more.

Alternatively, you can also press the interaction button to accept emergeny calls. See the Getting missions section in the XR VR manual for reference.

RTFM then I guess , tho' in my defence I am really lazy. Cheers for the response.

@ RP, same here, just over a 1000 hours in Elite but waiting till 3.0 drops with the core improvements before <hopefully> going back. Hoping they bring in some different planetary types too (for landing on) in the not distant future.

Is the Xenon threat <very hard> the last mission. I got a mission failed going to a scout location and noticed the story quest was gone.

@RP and Franc, agree Elite ( even though I love it and started in Alpha ) XRVR has more going for it. As they say ED is a mile wide and 1 inch deep.

I'm not actually sure anymore. I assumed the original campaign was built into this game but then I read it wasn't. A few people have reported Xenon threat: very hard as being a plot mission with no guidance of where to go next which (I think) is being looked into, have you tried reloading the game to see if it comes back?

As for Elite I bought it mostly for the planetary landings (loved that in the 90s Elite: First Encounters), but their pace of development is soooooo sloooow - I was kind'a expecting at least Mars / Triton type landings by now (thin atmos, ammonia worlds etc).

I'm afraid the Thargoid stuff is leaving me cold, playing a game by watching it unfold thru Youtube and not ingame isn't my idea of gameplay. Galnet could've been an amazing part of the gameworld, with videos and hotlinks built in but it's just a basic and dry text dump (compare to XR's excellent spoken encyclopedia) of boring, with the very occasional story drop that is quickly lost in the reams of Powerplay / BGS stuff.

[rp198419]

@ Franc, totally agree with you. Thargoids will simply introduce more grind for specialist weapons; grind is all that ED knows how to do nowadays.

Your comments re Galnet are also supported.

Maybe the Thargoids will catch the flu and all die? Then FDev can get on with 3.0 and sort out the core gameplay instead of wasting time on shiny new 'features' like the pathetic 'multi-pew' and the even more pointless 'holome'.
