A lot of new (and even old players) don't know how to get system maps.While you can get a map of a system by flying around and scanning (honking), you can also get the full system map by flying to the Nav Beacon for the system, which is usually near the main star you drop out at.Fly to the nav beacon, drop out of supercruise.Go to contacts and locate the actual beacon, target it. (It's a white target)Fly close to it, and point your ship at it, a spinning wheel will show up on your lower left panel as your ship scans it. No need to honk, it's automatic.Once the scan completes, you will have downloaded the complete system map.

Holy crap, even when I played on PC a couple of years ago, I didn't know this. This is an excellent tip. Thanx!

Good only if you don't have the approx. 1.5million credit advanced discovery scanner. Don't think you get any payment for scanning the beacon do you? Advanced discovery scanner will provide info on the entire system, but a surface scanner is required for more specific details regarding each celestial body, and provide

Good tip for anyone not able to afford the above scanners yet. Takes longer to find and scan the beacon than honking with the advanced discovery scanner.

If you see me coming, it's already too late.

True, but the beacon will also give you body names and often body info so Beacons are still usefull even with the best Discovery Scanner.

Good to know. That said, if you get the blue text saying X number of new objects found, and there are any earth like worlds or ammonia worlds, the manual surface scan should be used to get profit from them.

A navigation beacon if you have been watching my channel for a while and waiting for the next video in. The beginner series that do apologize i havent been able to make any videos for a few weeks now due.

To a family illness but im back again this week and i do have some big things in the pipeline. Including a complete guide to mining for beginners and also a combat guide a also so if youre interested in. Those topics please subscribe and click the bell icon below right so getting back to the topic of the day. Which is navigation beacons its actually fairly straightforward once you know how and typically if youre looking for a navigation. Beacon youre probably just traveling to a another star system you want to scan the beacon and find out what.

Is in that system okay navigation beacons tend to be fairly near the main star and a system so once. We arrive there were not going to have to travel too far to find it okay so im gonna pull. Away from the star and and when i look in the navigation list theres a navigation beacon there and then. Were gonna have a look for the beacon as its not very far away at all and youll see just. How close it is to the star so im just going to supercruise to the navigation beacon and in the.

Same way that we would disengage when we come to a space station you disengage your frame shift drive once. You get close to it navigation beacons tend to be quite busy those usual a lot of ships around and. A lot of npc ships aint gonna disengage and im going to slow down the navigation beacon is right in. Front of us you will notice theres a lot of activity here with lots of ships so im just going. To fly where feel this slowly towards the beacon so what will happen is no i already have data for.

The system so it perhaps hasnt what does a plant at least to demonstrate but all you have to do. Is target that we can fly a its within a kilometer of it and the data will start to download. To your ship computer from the navigation beacon so thats really all there is to it of course since elite. Dangerous beyond chapter four the original purpose of nav beacons basically became obsolete because discovery scanners are now a standard. Part of every ship in the game before that you could perhaps choose not to have a discovery scan ill.

Save a slot in your ship and instead of using that just scan navigation beacons but you dont really have. To do that now well you may have to comment scan navigation beacons as if its a mission objective so. It can be useful for that also now beacons are a great place to do some bounty hunting and that. Explore that side of the game if youre maybe a beginner but i was really all there is to it. So if youre just starting out in elite dangerous looking for some guidance you should also check out my beginners.

Method 5 – Elite Dangerous Ep8 – Scanning A Nav Beacon!

Hello there im aj puzzle person welcome back to le dangerous where we are in kelly market and i figured. That i would have a look for a specific type of lesion today because ivory tried the the the really. Really tough battle type stuff so i figured i would try out actually fighting something today with a bit of. Luck i dont want to donate cash to people no i want to fight well you have nothing for fighting.

How about you massacre no track down pirates would be a good one theres courier jobs no we want to. Get rid of weird bit of bad guys this is what we want to do no yeah i get tons. And tons and tons of them and then i get none of them ha here we go take down known. Pirates constants laver hmm ok and evidently this is going to give me either 65,000 credits some tea or some. Ret hmm well im going with that wherever it is cd six one six years that one will go there.

Yes i may get enemy ships following me considering the fact that im going to go to shoot something that. Seems sensible really doesnt it hmm the third option gives you tea and 50,000 credits interesting well im taking the. First really really incredibly easy mission in that in that particular set that i can possibly take because were not. Going for anything mean and nasty quite yet due to being totally rubbish assets so will concentrate on doing the. Things that are possible and then will concentrate on doing the things that arent here we go oh dude auto-doc.

Is it amazing and being able to see a ship whatever you want to just ever have a poke around. The place that is also amazing those jets well i dont really know what its chucking out antimatter maybe i. Dont know i have no idea i just choose words look hello a pretty little planet look at it like. That – hmm theres no much light on the ship then another ship in the background yeah very good however. We need to concentrate but we have bad guys to shoot whos scaring me now i have absolutely no idea.

How to do this im think youre supposed to go to a nav beacon and find people that way but. You know lets have a look at the star thingy right so the kelly market thing im gonna need the. Actual place first oh i failed the load of jobs courier jobs i just i just couldnt actually solve these. Things so i didnt do them that was my simple solution i didnt realize that the time set for missions. Is actually sort of real-time time and then if you dont manage it in that time then youre stuffed okay.

So constants labor from cd 61 lets open that up and see where it is its there which is where. Who knows its just set at point newark and i set a travel point oh all right so its only. Just over there interesting is that outside the abilities for me to get there it cant be theres literally nothing. Else for me to do to actually get there this i wonder about because it does seem that it likes. To it likes to make it so that i cant get places very easily or at all for that matter.

This is eight point five nine light-years away i can go there good good good good in that case lets. Get going lets see if i can actually do this im im rather scared of our first fight because it. Is our first fight and even if its incredibly simple i could i could ultimately mess it up very easily. So hmm we should just have to hope that i dont mister i mean i got to find the person. First which will be an interesting thing for starters ah thats nice but where which you care to tell me.

Youre not gonna do that are you know right are there more than one of them this is also a. Thing almost if theres a couple of ships right in front of me should i be going for them wait. A minute lets get out that and go that way where are they they should be right in front of. Me whoa are you the thomas dean no youre not that vipers something robert lennon nope youre not the person. A federal ship nope none of those are its youre all not it new data discovered hmm what encoded emitted.

What hey encoded stuff cool okay oh that persons wanted as well well hmm seems wrong to just go after. Random ships thats not what im supposed to be doing but that person is wanted so blasting them to pieces. Is perfectly acceptable right lets get mike i cant get my guns out and theyre in there in like this. This drive thing so i dont know if i can do anything about is degraded emissions threat level zero snow. Now it says why why should i slow down how am i supposed to find people in this mode or.

Do i have to be in the other mode many many many many many questions none of which being answered. Should i just drop out and if i drop out then surely ill take damage because im not supposed to. Drop out unless it lets have got to a thing i dont know youre not even the person im supposed. To be hunting mmm distractions i could do with a nav beacon so i can ping the nav beacon and. See what whats about i think thats how it works but this persons so tempting you get out of warp.

Ii thing and and get get blasted theres three of them though i mean look at it its three three. Ships not one its one ship and his two tagalongs who were also wanted you know what i should leave. Them i really should its interesting but at the same time its kind of risky and i think that i. Should go to the nav beacon instead so lets go to the nav beacon and find out what pirates are. Around or something i know that the nav beacons are good for stuff hello now beacon youre going to be.

Good for stuff so tell me your secrets interesting the nav beacon doesnt have one of those distance and speed. Things that they usually put in that corner its just an a beacon what am i supposed to do about. That i mean surely im supposed to scan the nav beacon and something something something something because i dont know. Its right next to a son why stick the nav beacon right next to the certain oh that reminds me. I picked up a a fuel scoop thanks to chitin yeah i was told that that a fuel scoop was.

A good idea oh now ive got a distance and speed thing so ive now got a fuel scoop which. Means i can actually scoop fuel from certain suns i dont know which suns im able to scoop fuel from. Yet but i do know that i can so who do thats at some stage but not yet because nav. Beacon followed by blasting pirates hopefully no no no no no good for us to do give us dont go. Past it dont you dare youre doing it arent you i hate that why does it go in full blast.

To go past it i dont get it it just forces you into its a missing it when i could. Have just slowed down but now i did slow down i did it was it that ignored my slowing okay. Nearly nearly turn any day and i dont even know what to do when i get there but well suss. It out i think that you just like target it up close and and it tells you stuff maybe youll. Find out very soon very soon indeed and then how do i get the pirate out of that speed aye.

Aye whats that what is sad is that the nav beacon cant be what is that who are you who. Are you perfect cross keelback i have no idea yes okay lets slow down a bit and target that nut. Beacon target then that beacon does that hope that beacon tell me your secrets what am i supposed to do. About you why is there new information there theres so many ships here theres tons of them whos that thats. Diamondback oh torvald shield thats quite cool mmm what are you imperial clipper moonshine how am i supposed to find.

This pirates there are ships all over the place whats this one over here too far away if we can. Go bit faster and catch it hey you i no escape was that hey you cheating me i dont know. If they were they missed about systems up at full paul david hood where the heck is this evil pirates. Thats not its youre not the evil pirate youre not the evil pirate either how about you imperial clipper no. No youre not the evil pirate either and you are also not an evil pirate how about you youre the.

Same one that i looked at before i have no idea you know youre all fine so how am i. Supposed to find him mm-hmm let us search we might be able to find it somehow how do you find. Them jet federal group ohs jet federal group okay need you to assassinate the known pirate constants flavour from their. Hand faction scan the nav beacon how do you do that or use a discovery scanner how do you do. That to locate the targets sign signal source come and get your reward room how do you do any of.

That this is not something they have told me methinks im going to have to look into this yeah brilliant. Okay i thought it was just going to scan things and on wish meant this is something up here whats. This contact terminated what commander that data was all right thats the missions that yeah theyre all the missions that. I failed thank you for telling me that i failed all those missions yes it was very unfortunate but i. Just wasnt playing at the time and as such the missions ran out had i have known that they would.

Just run out dramatically when i was doing this then i would have done something about it how do i. Scan i think no okay im gonna have a look around it and then ill see all right so im. Supposed to go up to the nav beacon select it by like looking at it and selecting it and then. And then scan by scanning it so i was sort of right but i hadnt got close enough or selected. It for that matter where are you now beacon okay so youre there so i need to get much closer.

To that thing or just do that and then get much closer to it right lets get closer scanning brilliant. Okay wonderful now tell me where the person is up there now beacon data scanned analysis of the nav beacon. Data is complete and weve added the target last-known position to your transaction panel over there nope nope thats the. Beacon okay yeah navigation wheres wheres the person how do you find the person hey this doesnt help ah after. Finding all of the data and everything whats this as a place how much why why game why do you.

Mock me like this all right whats this thats all the ones how this might be good no no this. Is not good this is absolutely no help whatsoever where the heck is he maybe this scan required i dont. Get it i dont more looking into things by looks of it surely it should appear there iii is the. Bad guy going to find me scan detected maybe maybe maybe the bad guys gonna find me might do cuz. Im just sitting there in space it said it would show up it did it said it would show up.

Theres a city there a city interesting kind of want to go there but we shouldnt we should continue to. Try and find out what this is about is it like already showing or is it just the nav beacon. Thats showing thats just not beacon thats showing whos that systems authorities so thats probably like the one that scanned. Me right most likely i would say again like needle in haystack how am i supposed to find this ship. It said that the data had gone into my thingy but at the same time it didnt actually do it.

Or if it did its hidden it somewhere that i have no idea where it is whats ocd 6 something. Rather thats the ship right plus 6 stars no nope its not the ship hmmm thats definitely a star can. Fuel scoop and now i have a correct connection error hmm okay im gonna have to work on this see. You soon all right were back and we still have exactly no idea how to find this ship so what. Im going to do is im going to look into it because thats the only possible way for me to.

Find this ship nope i am having a lot of trouble finding anything about this so actually despite the fact. That ive got here and ive managed to scan the beacon which is two mini little things that are like. Really cool because ive actually done them so im quite pleased because we still have the issue of whats this. A planetary body no its not its not the target why is the target so difficult to find scan for. Mmm nope again nothing i know its going to be like practically staring me in the face and yet i.

Still dont know which it is what the heck are those high-energy alright right there the wakes of peoples ships. I have no idea no idea whatsoever so im going to have to leave it at that because i really. I have absolutely no way of knowing how to do this so i shall have to leave it there and. I shall have to catch you in the next episode if you know how to actually find these bounty ship. Bounty things then that will be incredibly helpful indeed miss i have absolutely no idea i did fun some cool.

Stuff in here for the ship sweet intern night vision on which means that you can get these little lines. Around all of the ships so that you can see whats it whats what and where it is even when. You cant see it so my ships now got little lines everywhere and anything that comes into the display i. Can see it even if its pitch black okay a landing gear and all that sort of stuff is irrelevant. Over here we have yes the interface which allows us to have the orbital lines which i should have on.

I had them off for a little while because i just wanted to see what it was like but yeah. You should have them on i think because its most helpful for various things anyhow we have nothing in our. Inventory thats why the pirates arent bothering me and i still have nothing by way of any help oh right. Well ill guarantee visit thats and i shall come back to this in the next episode when maybe ill actually. Know what im doing but in the meanwhile you take care thanks for watching feel free to watch other things.
