Well, the achievement is a reward, and each location has goods with a worth of around 300k-1000k
But, the Boron is stingy ;)

Is there a decent reward for finding everything? I have found a couple of these but want to make sure it's worth the time investment :p

There is no additional award. Just the steam achievement and a full history in your encyclopedia.
Also: bring some cover in some of the more hostile areas now ships are actually being built.

I don't think the black hole sun one is correct, all i found was an anomaly in the sector

It's there. Make sure you're at BHS IV (the correct number).

I can't for the life of me find the one at Scale Plate Green VII, which is supposed to be +- 400km NW from the superhighway. My radar isn't picking up anything, I've even gone as far as flying around in grids and marking everything with satelites, but nothing. If someone has a screenshot of its aprox. location, I would appreciate it.

I checked the distance to the superhighway when at the vault. However these points do spawn at game generation, so every game has them at somewhat varying locations.

SCG VII one is hard, but it is there...
Be informed that DV's do not show up at the whole sat range!

Indeed. To get the last ones I used a mod to change sat range to 900km. And then regularly it missed a vault from 100km away...
I think there's actually chances involved, so within 5-10 minutes you might see a vault on the map. And then it disappears again unless the sat is within 20 km or so.
Anyway, with this list at least you know that there's something to find in stead of spending time on a map without a vault.

Can someone help with the one in Holy Visions.
I have had to reload several times just to get the panels to go green. I have found five red panels, 2 on the limbs of the solar panels, 2 underneath the central dome and 1 inside a closed space when the door opened. Now I'm stuck.
There are still 2 closed doors but I can't find anything else to fix, to get them open.
It was a woman who drove me to drink... you know I never went back and thanked her.

Don't try to outweird me, three-eyes. I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.

You don't normally need to open all flaps. Just fix the data leak. Is this vault different?

The red panel inside is used to open a door containing the reward container. It is not necessary to do for the timeline entry to appear.

Are you sure you have not completed it already?
There are always several hatches that stay closed.
And be sure to check for the signal with scan mode on (shift-2)
To check if you already did it: look in the list which timeline entry gets unlocked and check if you have that one already.

9 - Silent Witness XI - E of Center, WSW of HAT Free Port
I can't find the one is Silent Witness XI. The HAT Freeport in that sector for me is already WSW of Center, so I really don't know which direction to look. I'm not getting a purple ding on the scanner either. Can anyone post a screenie of the location of this one?

Thanks,

EDIT: I finally found it ENE of the gate in the middle, not very far out. The HAT Freeport is SW of the gate in my game, so I'm guessing these ports don't always show up in the same place on a new start. So the reference to the HAT port should be removed from the location description in the top post of this thread.

Can't find the one in Antigone Memorial. It's supposed to be S of the Warf, but in my game there is only one lasertower south of the warf (about 35km), nothing further. I will try to scout the map if it's located anywhare else.

edit
found it, not so much 60 km s of the warf but about 60 km w of it.
