finding a station

Post by soyoukan »

whats up - having terrible trouble locating the station to dock with. just flew around leesti for 90 mins but it just wasn't there, always green circle but i suspect on the other side, but when you get there, its not! gave up.

is there an easier way to locate?



cheers

Hi.
As you approach any planet your compass indicator will turn into a square to show you the main station's location.
The only reason why the Leesti station wouldn't be there, would be if it was destroyed by the Doomsday asteroid. But you would already know that if you have the 'Asteroid storm' oxp installed and the mission has activated.

Does it only happen at Leesti?

The station at Leesti can be a little tricky to spot, as you usually approach towards its unlit side - but it is there.
The green circle will only change to a square if the Advanced Space Compass is installed.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!
