Head which way for Lockboxes

[Ormac]

Currently performing a Valuable goods (generic Mission) to search for lockboxes. I've already opened 4 or 5 in the vicinity but I don't think they're all linked to the mission.

When I ping the LR scanner When I check the zone map I see to or three large blots that slowly fade ( to mark the general location) I move towards the location ping again and the blots seem to have moved to the other end of the zone.

I'm not sure if one of the axis has been inverted so I'm starting to feel a bit confused as I almost have to good the opposite direction

Also should lockboxes still return a ping from the LR once you've successfully looted them?

It sounds as if you've had axis inversion, certainly. Fly towards the pings, always.

Once destroyed the lockbox should no longer show up, but it may do if it's been emptied but not destroyed (I think this behaviour has been improved in v4)

Left the Zone/Sector for a while and then returned.

Eventually led me to the right box (relatively quickly by comparison). I guess all those extra blue boxes were bonus loot that have been appraised at millions.

Having problem with these missions, I don't really care about money any more, but trying to raise the Argon faction standing. I do like these missions, but every time I go to get a lockbox, I find lock boxes inside that 50km area, but none of those boxes finish the missions for me, it's kinda frustrating...

I open 6-7 boxes while my mission status says to scan the area to find a lockbox, But all of these boxes are not the one I need... It's kinda weird and a bit odd. It just doesn't make sense to me at all and shows that some missions are simply spawn trash.

He says " I hid a box at this location, give me 1 million and I'll give you coordinate". Why is he giving me 50km radius blob coordinates? Can't NPCs give more specific coordinates? Or the script for this mission simply doesn't allow to provide more specific coordinates, and spawn radius for a "mastery box" is so random, that it can be anywhere in that huge block of 50km radius.

If I want to explore and hunt boxes, I'll take my time and do it. But when I get a mission and pay money for specific coordinates, I shouldn't be playing a "find a needle in a hay stack game"... Feel free to move my post into suggestions board. This mission has to be fine tuned!
