New to the Game - question about Home of Light sector
Hi,
At the beginning of the game I got a mission to go to Home of Light sector and talk to a person that is on Terracorp Headquarters. I can't seems to find Terracorp Headquarters ship/station in the Home of Light sector, why ? I just came out of the jump gate and I did the scan no traces of Terracorp Headquarters, what gives ?
Thanks for your help

just so you know, the sector view only shows ships that are within scanner range, but more importantly, stations are only shown if they have entered scanner range of one of your ships, or you have targeted them directly using the 'T' key. This is a sort-of 'fog of war' effect.
In which case, the west gate probably wont be on your sector map either, and you need to turn 45 degrees right from the north gate, and fly towards a blue swirly circle (gate), and target it before it appears on your sector map.
i'm sure all this is in the manual.

yes.
you have a standard scanner at the moment. In the sector view you can see a dark circle around your ship with other ships displayed as little icons. outside that circle, you cant see ships in sector view.
yo can get Duplex scanners, which double the radius of the standard scanner (that dark circle), and Triplex scanners, which triple said radius.
enjoy

Best thing to do is to buy a Satellite or Advanced Satellite if you got the dough...when you enter a sector drop it and pick it up again...repeat for every new sector...this will pick up every station in the sector so no need to fly all over the place....NOTE: Gates, Pirate bases and any other stations that are outside the Satellite scanner range will not show up till you get near enough to them.
