Beacon Quest (HEAVY SPOILERS)

EDIT: Stupid question

I was so careful with reading the guide I missed a tiny detail that explained all.

I remove the content in order to prevent others from reading useless spoilers.

sorry

I'll use this thread for another question... is the Science Op able to locate beacons if I come near to it? I don't see any purple blips on the radar... It's easy to miss them.

No, beacons require visual observation to locate.

The beacons are usually easy to see, even from a distance. Those that are hidden (for example, inside a nebula) are usually near the jump point ... so, after making the jump, check the immediate area carefully.

Okay, I got to the final beacon, the one with the "verdant negative". I got the message, and I think I figured out the coordinates.

One question: Am I supposed to go there "on foot"? It's quite a trip even from the nearest system and I don't even have the guarantee I didn't messed up the calculations... (never been good at math).

EDIT: No matter. I've flown some sorties in Arvoch Conflict while waiting.

And know what? My pointer was positioned exactly on the gate

I guess I'm still somewhat good at math

Great!!!

One and only beacon I couldn't find earlier is "riftspace gate".
I gladly accepted little help about it (exact coordinates

:P)from other players in MP. I found rest of them by myself!

I graduated math section of high school and 4 years in university plus 2 years mastering. I learned limit, integral, everything
Don't work at all

Can you post the calculations you did?

I tried but my math skills are not that good.....not even plotting the systems on a cartesian plane.

No, actually.
I mean, they don't work.

I couldn't find the gate of Riftspace. LOL
