Guild Quests: Argon vs Xenon - no guidance markers???

[Gregorovitch]

I've picked up these quests and I picked the Intelligence ones since that seemed logical to me. Now when I activate them and look for the guidance markers I see......nothing. Well, I do see a big gold circle appear in front of me and then contract to nothing before my eyes. But nothing on the map.

Now, I'm not looking for spoilers here just the answer to a couple of questions:

1. I am guessing the reason I'm not getting any guidance markers is that I haven't yet found a gate or something behind which these quest locations lie. Is this correct?

2. If so, then do these quests stay "live" indefinitely and do I need to prioritise finding these gates or whatever lest I miss out on some interesting war gameplay?

Which mission is it specifically? Mission wants you to find what? Because that can differ if you're searching an anomaly or a gate or a ship haven't revealed just yet.

Mission markers should point you to your target no matter what. Altough I haven't done any of those guild missions and they may proceed differently than others but point 1 seems highly unlikely to me.

From memory you get a pack of four mission options for each of these guild quests. Both have am "Intelligence" option and each of these has two stages. One is about scanning a station and setting down a satellite somewhere and the other is about scanning a ship for space weed.

I definitely have no map guidance markers for either of these missions, so I have absolutely no idea where I am supposed to go or what the targets are.

Probably you have your marker set to satellite drop side or yet unfound ship to scan. Those things cannot be seen from the map view at first but only from the game if you're in the same sector.

But again if something is off you can always try make the mission inactive and set active again. Sometimes it fixes things.

If nothing works you can write the exact mission for further help.

I found a lot of bugs in these missions.
When doing the missions i often had that the first mission that appeared to me again where they where looking for help.
Or when you start the mission you that the Argon vs Xenon missions completely dissapear from your missions like you canceled the complete thing. so I had to reload my game.
Or when I completed a mission, then it appeared again so I can do it over and over again. it never stops. not sure if thats a bug or intended.

I've tried inactivating and reactivating the mission several times, and indeed have restarted the game several times to try to fix this with no result.

The mission in question is Argon Vs. Xenon->Gather Intel->Module Deepscan (Scan: specified module) flavour text: "We need the following module scanned: Xenon Base Module"

When I activate this mission and return to cockpit view I get three flashes of a big gold circle in front of me and then nothing.

[consiefe]

I think you need to find a xenon station for this. In this forum there were talks about it saying any station's storage module scanning does the trick. If nothing else works I'd drop the mission if i were you, until a proper patch for them comes out as they are somewhat unstable right now.

For myself also dropped the whole argon vs. Xenon plot for the time being.

sadly i had this aswell although i had 2 stations in the sector one was a xenon base station and it would not scan at all. the second was a production station (i forget wich one) and i was able to get 100% scan on it but quest wouldnt complete
