Part of the Prism mission is "0/1 Prism Expedition Scanned"

I can find no ship matching that, even with a really good radar, searching out about 4k in spiralling patterns from the warp, the AI base, and the drones.

No mission in AI base, and the prism AI doesn't drop anything either.

Checked the gal several times, once even right after a reboot, before any other players could have gotten there.

Have you scanned the Prism Pax AI ship?

Yes. It didn't count for the mission.

I am sort of getting really annoyed at how such a core mission chain is in such a broken state, this is the 3rd mission total thats broken an in a 4 mission chain 3 of them are broken.

And judging from the mission text i sort of expect some sort of derelict paxius ship floating around somewhere, or maybe trapped in the drone field etc.

I'm in the same spot here. the paxian scanner gave a message like "can not penetrate the high tech hull' and failed. so I got a better scanner, and it gave a scan report, but didn't do anything for the mission... if we're on the wrong track, maybe a better hint is in order

It's not the scanner but the mission itself. Trust me, I have the best non-admin scanner in the game. The object to scan doesn't exist.

Fixed: get on test & find bugs in the rest of them, please

Too bad the Original Poster quit because "I don't like Windows" syndrome.

is it fixed on the live server? I just went back to prism, and don't see anything new.. the ship there shows same messages when scanned, etc..

--EDIT--
Nevermind yet -- I do see something that's new...

--EDIT 2 --
ok, well, I did the prism quest, and still cant find any ship to scan in prism to satisfy the mission... Is it really fixed, or just pretend fixed?

--Arghh

No, right now the missions are in the testing phase as was stated earlier. If you would like to try them out before they go live (in the next patch) they are on test right now.

Main server: liberty.starsonata.com:3030

Test server: test.starsonata.com:3032

We regularly throw things on test to... test. And we nuke / break / rebuild it all the time. If it's up, you're free to explore, test content that's being QA'd and so forth. Smart players often pop in there to get a "head's up" on upcoming content.

We don't mind, as long as you report bugs / broken stuff ~ that's what it's there for.


Tldr; Live server requires a patch for them to go live.

Thanks for the clarification, Aurora. One question about test. I logged in during the last maintenance, and it seemed that it created a new account for me. is there any option to have my existing character on test so that I don't have to start from scratch?

--Arghh

It has been some time, but I ran into the same issue as the original poster here today, and the mystery is solved with help from the amazing Lady of Ice!

You need to auto-pilot directly from the warp to the AI base, or from the AI base to the warp in Prism, in order to trigger the spawn of the Paxian Expedition. Then you can scan it, and finish the mission.

Hopefully Aurora will take some time to increase the spawn trigger radius.
