Scanned something, but it's inside a structure?

Post by LameFox »

1.10 English, no mods, 3rd start.

Flew into a system and found something called 'data vault'. Went EVA and scanned it, and I can hear something and see a small visual effect coming from inside the object, but I can't reach it.

Is it bugged? I tried the hand-laser on a few panels and flew around for a bit but can't find any way in. Everything else I've scanned has been on the outside of a vehicle or station so I assume this is misplaced.

And here, again, I found a neutral ship in a minefield, killed the mines, and went to claim it. But the thing to scan simply never appears, I can't even hear it.

Also been sent to claim a mineral version of the same ship, for a mission I now cannot complete because of the same problem.

Now I've found a Tern and, surprise, same thing. Is the tutorial wrong about these ships? Do I need marines or can they just not be claimed at all?

Okay, I've now found another data vault and had the exact same issue, right down to where the sound and visual effect was. After 2 vaults and 3 medium ships unscannable, this seems like it's going to recur indefinitely so I won't update it anymore.

Think about what are you seeing in the data vault.

For claiming ships you click the ship and click en claim, you need to have a marine on board for this, you can hire them in any station.

Tutorial is misleading then if marines are needed for medium ships. It instructed me to scan near the entrance while EVA.

Well, a marine took the Tern. With the Manorina, he was just circling it pointlessly while hanging 10 on the boaring pod, like I saw in the streams. Turns out though that it's just the AI's hideous pathing and that if I fly away far enough to make him OOS, he'll eventually take the ship.

I hope that gets fixed before I try to capture anything in combat, because wow.

I confirm that, I've encounter several data-leak (red one) deep inside the structure. I've a save if needed (or make a screenshot)
