"A Small Reward" - Explore Apotheosis misleading?

[Scoob]

Hey all,

Just doing this mission chain and have been asked to "Explore Apotheosis" by Dal. Upon nearing it, he said to approach from above or below, which I did. It looks like there are holes in the superstructure, so I exited the ship in the Spacesuit to approach closer. However, there's actually an invisible wall blocking any potential way in. I tried the other end, same. I'm now sorta stuck trying to "Explore" this structure. I've flown all around in, both in a ship and spacesuit, but I'm finding nothing. I note the next two objectives after explore are collect items, but there are no items. I've entered scan mode, but it's not revealed anything new.

I'm going to keep trying, but this is a little frustrating.

Edit: Contrary to what Del tells you to do, it was only after I flew to the middle of the structure and got really close, that I got a further prompt from dal. So, the flying to the ends bit is indeed misleading. It was only when I was back in my ship - not the spacesuit - that being in that area triggered the next step.

The next stage is to fire an EMP at the structure. However, this fails as the "leak" is created embedded inside the structure and, once again, invisible walls stop be approaching close enough. Reload, try again. IT seems that if we shoot at the centre of the structure - where Dal first prompts you to exit in the spacesuit - we cannot approach the resulting signal leak. However, if we shoot at one of the armoured-looking bits, the bomb doesn't clip into the model and the signal leak is on the surface and can be approached.

After scanning the accessible signal leak, things played out fine in that area. Just a few gremlins and a reload to get there.

Do you still have a save game from before you tried creating the leaks? If you create a bug report in the Technical Support forum, we can take a look.

Really sorry, I thought I'd snagged an appropriate save to show this, but I think I accidentality overwrote it. Will check when I'm next on the PC the game is installed on...
