These missions are not meant to have waypoints, since you are supposed to search. The bugged ones that do are ALWAYS at 0,0, the dev/null of SWG.


I have not been able to complete any of these missions since the 'fix' - granted I am no longer earning more than the combat chars, but I'd like to be able to do something other than fed-ex.


If its worked for you, has it worked in the last 24 hours?

The day they 'fixed' the missions, I got one and as you all said, ran and ran away and still got the same message. Took a shuttle to another town... still same message, took a starship to another planet, then it worked. That means they set it up WAY too far, maybe so far that nowhere in the planet can be done lol, speak of spending 700 credits to get 400

I just wanted to add my name to the list of frustrated survey mission takers... On my first day, I took one of these missions and ended up running around naboo for 4 hours straight. I was all the way in the corner of the map and still I was "too close".


Please add this to the list of things that need fixing. The distance is way too far for a measly 350 credit reward. Another planet!!!? Ugh.

Same thing, got two missions going one for METAL and one for SEDIMENTARY ORE. After running around FOREVER I get this dreaded message all the time. Even lost my life several times in the process when I got nailed by some viscious red dots who can all run faster than my peaceful white surveying dot...this is taking the fun out of SWG way fast

I did an Imperial survey mission about three days ago, and it worked just fine.


The day after the launch, I took a survey mission from a rebel, and had to abort it because it was blank in the slot labeled "resource," (which, suffice to say, I was unable to find a good quantity of )


The only thing I can think of that might be interfering with the new survey missions is the change in the resources in the ground. All the servers changed resources, and it's possible they don't recognize what they are yet.

Just for the record, I am getting this message also.


Though I just gave up and deleted the mission. You guys should have done things the proper way, I am already 1 skill point away from Master Artisan, and I have Rifle skills out the ying yang.


I am an Artisan just to make my own stuff, instead of having to buy from the Bazaar, even though I do have Business II which gives me premium prices on the bazaar.


I hope they get this fixed because it is the only way to un-nerf the artisan profession.

I heard rumor that if you head over to the Star Trek galaxy and mine on Vulcan that it MIGHT be far enough.
