Can someone post roughly the distance in Km from the MA gate to the Kha'ak system, i am at around 9000km and still no sign, wondering if i have gone too far and missed it.

Post by **Sparky Sparkycorp** » Tue, 1. Mar 16, 13:36

I'm sure that is too far. I don't know the distance but it's probably less than 3000 km.

If you've found zones closer to the gate, the map in the OP is a top-down view, so you should be able to gauge your rough position relative to the Kha'ak zone in the x and the y axis.

loaded up the save, and started traveling to the Kha'ak sector, it only showed up as around 600km from last hearth, auto pilot seems to take the route through the sectors following the mist and asteriod trail, is that the only way to find the new sysyems by following that trail.

I would suggest that following your nose probably the most rewarding way to find new zones, and possibly the interesting way Dev's intended rather than "the only way"

I started to map Toride without finishing main plot so don't know if those missions I've read about in the forums to scan for anomalies give a way to label them on the map, by deploying a nav beacon maybe?

Properly labeled

they are a nifty highway replacement

not really, because their Destination is random every time. also last time i checked (it was somewhere around the last beta to the first RC of the DLC) NPCs couldnt use them - i tried to force some Xenon into them back then and they bumped off the Anomaly like from a solid Object.

Uh, I didn't noted the randomness, they always got me to same place more or less. I still think its a good idea to mark them somehow though.

Is it possible that NPCs can't use them because it's required to boost to get into?

Mapped out everything ,but the quest is still unfinished. Is there a minimum % of mapping of each zone?

Odd, mapping the 3 systems to my maps should complete the mission, could be a bug or you missed a zone?

Nope, that was before this "antigravitation" was added to the anomalys

Did you leave the last zone explored and reach a other? Until I did that it wasn't ok. (quest and 3 achievements)
I previously unlocked 2 of 3 steam achievement so I knew that there was only 1 sector to finish

IIRC, I had some 0% on HOL.

However, I've still not have the achievement for the Vanillia+TO and for the moment I don't know as it seems I found all the zone.

How did you guys find that last sector in HoL-Weste Gate, Faraway? I've tried to run around there but no luck? I mean IF I hadn't looked it up on the internet I wouldn't even know about it, so how did you get there in the first place? And now I still can't find it :/

Follow the asteroid path. It starts from Nirin Treaty, and goes through every sectors beyond it until you get to Faraway.

It takes a while, though.

Loltak! thanks for the hint, and here is my suggestion for everyone stuck like I was: if you think you have mapped all 3 systems, but you don't receive the message that you have completed the mission, check your steam achievements, and you will see 1 or 2 "Cartographer" achievements. These you get when you successfully scan a system. For example Home of Light. If one is missing out of the 3, it's worth checking the system where you didn't receive the Steam schievement. In that system compare your map with spankahontis' (PostPosted: Wed, 16. Dec 15, 22:21 Post subject: [SPOILERS] Mapping the 3 New Systems ) maps.

And yes, in all cases it is enough if a zone is scanned more than 0%. Some zones automatically give you 100% just for entering, because they are empty.

+1 hint: most of the zones are in the vicinity of or inside a cloud. It is very rare to be in the middle of nowhere, a building just poping out in the empy space. So don't hope that just by flying around in the empty space you will find something...

This is probably a bug, but in the mission briefing of missions that take place in another zone, you can actually see the full zone map of the entire sector. This makes it easy to find distant zones.

Post by **Sparky Sparkycorp** » Sat, 18. Feb 17, 23:11

It's hard to know it's a bug or not due to it being in the game for as long as I can remember but you're right. It is an easy way to find new zones

Post by **Nanook** » Mon, 20. Feb 17, 20:15

Just think of it as the mission giver showing you how to get there. Doesn't make a lot of sense to hire someone to go somewhere and do something if they don't know how to get there.

Ezarkal · Post by **Ezarkal** » Mon, 20. Feb 17, 20:57

I think what bo0merang meant is, on the mission briefing you will see the whole sector, including every un-explored zones, whether they are relevant or not to the mission.

It happened to me the first time I was scouting HoL. Kinda spoiled a part of the exploration by accident. XD

I have created a huge visio map (to be printed out on 4xA3 or even 6xA3) including the transcend / lost colony extension, which can be folded like a regular map, so I can still handle it while flying through space with my hotas setup. However, it has over 7MB in decent resolution as png, and I have no place to upload the 360KB vsdx file anonymously.
If someone would provide the space, I would share it of course.
