Scan Asteroids
From X3 Wiki
A Mission usually offered at stations but may be offered by a spaceborne ship.
Contents
Objective
Scan the required number of asteroids as pointed out in the mission briefing within a set time limit.
General Difficulty:
Usually very easy; some tighter scheduled missions may class as 'normal'.
What you will need:
- Any ship with Mineral Scanner installed - M5 is best due to its speed.
What you will find:
- Multiple asteroids in multiple Sectors, depending on time limit.
Commentary and Strategy
Go to each required sector and scan as many asteroids as needed. You will get paid quite a high sum for doing all of them. Keep an eye out for another pilot selling asteroid info, as you may get an instant win.
- Mission has been pointed out to have a possible bug after scanning the last asteroid that the mission fails.
