Hi there Seaside and welcome to the board.

It is basically a seek and destroy mission

You have to use the F7 key for messages/clues every time you visit a planet system during the mission.

Your craft only has a maximum 7LY of fuel so you have to do a bit of local searching.

At the top of the page you will see a menu, if you use the search function and type in constrictor, you will find many threads with spoilers and hints.

Good Hunting.

also, when in your selection screen where you pick which planet to jump to, hit '6' again and see the galaxy map, you can search for the planet there. just type in the name.

Well done, you are forging ahead, I suggest you do the Thargoid plans mission and then the Nova mission, you will have completed all the native "built in" missions, so you can then choose your OXP missions however you wish.

Or just fly past them: their entrance (in common with most stationary dockable objects) always points towards the planet. Once you're between them and the planet, flip over, line up with the docking port so you can see the 4 red lights at the bottom, and fly on in.

You can't save anywhere except at a main planetary station. This is always worth remembering! :D
