Show up at Weyn, instantly 1 mission with 4 MT's as the reward. Woooo!

Also, wtf, mystery hull damage continues.

Another 400LY round trip to drop off 4 more MT's. Not risking hoarding these beasts, especially with my mysterious hull damage.. I don't think I have anything corrosive or damaging equipped, so WTF.

You get general wear and tear damage from just using the ship, is this what you mean ? So for example if I do a Sothis/Ceos run by the time I get to the drop off zone and dock at the first station there is generally around 10k credits worth of repairs to my Cutter which equates to about 1% Hull damage or are you getting a lot more damage than that ? If so then yes it is a mystery.

No, it's more than that. I expect regular wear and tear on the hull from long hauls. These are coming from in-system routes, or short 10-13LY jumps between systems. That's why it has me concerned. It's out of place for what it should be.

Competant Python came after me.. I'm luckily in a system withy a repair dock, with no canopy left, or not much, and 29% hull.

He on the other hand, is a cloud of debris.

Not gettin' my Modular Terminals. 13,000Ls to Jacquard Orbital. lel, that name.

So, no MT missions have spawned for me at either base in 64 Arietis since the first one late last night. State switching and base swapping have done nothing for me. I dunno if the other rewards being offered are good, but I guess it's time to start flying to random systems.. cause I am at a loss as to where these Modular Terminals can be found on at least a semi-regular basis.

Maybe what you need to do is die with four :D
Seemed the galaxy felt sorry and started spawning them much more frequently after that.

What worked for me:
-Started at 64 Arietis [Weyn Dock]
-While there, stacked as many missions as possible (through mode switching) to one of the of the nearby Arietis Sectors (Boulle? Landing or something like that)
-While at that system [Insert Name] stacked up as much as possible
-Completed the courier missions acquired from there
-Once I had a decent amount of the attacking of the Penal Colony I completed that.
--It's a cut the power type mission so one visit completes all acquired missions to do so.
-Rinse repeat

After a while a third station [Bulychev Stop in Marowari] was thrown into the mix
I didn't do too many to there but still made the trip if I saw enough stuff to drop off there.
Occasionally I would do a few of the mid range transports.
Once I started getting better rep with the factions there I definitely started seeing them more.
Maybe I also just got lucky too though.

What's your rep with them?
I was just taking any and all missions (to the surrounding stations, and the occasional mid range transport) since it's a roulette between three surrounding stations.
Maybe you're seeing different types of stuff too. I had a lot of courier missions and they really hate that penal colony near Boulle Landing in the obnoxiously named system.
Maybe you need to do what I did. Die with 4 of them :D
Just my conspiracy, after I died with 4 I was seeing more then I'd seen up to that point.

I'll update this in a moment with exactly what I did while I was there. Maybe I did just get lucky though.


Station was green, so at least Cordial. I'd prefer not to resort to ritualistic suicide for the MT's... but I might if this doesn't change, lol.
Taking a quick trip out to Diaguandri. I'll fly back to 64A once I finish there, and start mission spamming, regardless of payout.
The info is most certainly appreciated! I don't mind flying about, I just not knowing what I need to look for. That is, courier or sabotage, delivery or donations. Horizon marked or not. I wish I'd taken note of the missions that offered MT's before.


Also, accidentally left in Open Play. I'm pretty sure the CMDR was scared I was going to attack his Cobra, since I was in my python with hardpoints deployed (scanning only, I swear!). I forgot just how shitty open play makes you towards others.

Glad to at least try and assist. I did update that post with what exactly I was getting/doing. Hopefully it works out for you and you're not wasting your time there :/

12 Jumps and ~500 LS till I can go back to making money.
