Star systems not visible but there? Huh?

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
So, yesterday I got this mission (L4 I think) where I had to scout around in a cluster "delta volgonis" or so.

Suddendly I hit a star system, but that was not on the map. There were NO star systems on the map.

This is highly illogical. Tell me, please:

* How can something as big as a star system not show up on my sensors? I mean, I know... in 22nd century, vulcan kids had better toys than starfleet ships sensors, but this is 250 years (+ / -) AFTER T'Pol ridiculed the NX-01 sensory equipment

* How am I supposed to find the system again when I finally have the medical supplies

* Is this a unintentional? Please say "yes" or I will be a very sad space saga heroine (ok, I'm a dude in rl, but this is an "MMORPG", m'kay)... :-(

* Same in systems... how am I supposed to identify the second planet? Or finding other stuff?

---

Please, Cryptic, give us navigational and sensory tools. :-)

    If a system spawns on top of you, then yes you won't be able to see it. I've come out of system to have another system on top of me that I can start a mission without seeing it. Just pass that off as a visual glitch.

    When you come back with the supplies (if you even keep the mission, I personally abort them as soon as I get them.) there should be a little message on the right side of your screen just below your objectives. Should look something like "Continue:(System Name then some numbers)". Click that and you'll arrive at the system.

    I think there were episodes of ST with star-systems that were 'hidden' in nebulas (interferance and all that) - but given the fact it's so far in the future I can see your point.

    When you re-zone into the sector with the supplies you needed, you should have a 'continue x mission' button on the bottom right hand side of screen
