If you can't get missions from the mission terminal on them, hopefully someone else on the forums does.

What I meant was, if you can't get the missions, hopefully someone else knows where they habitually spawn.

I just got Tracking I and I've been wondering what the range of tracking is. That would be useful to know so you can do some kind of 'grid search' without missing any spot on a planet. Does anyone know ?

P.S.
yes, i DID search for it, but nothing useful came up .-)

Range is 500m, BUT it only shows you creatures that have already spawned.

thank you for answering. how big is a planet ? on the planetary map it seems to be something like 15x15km.
if i can only track 500m radius, that would mean 15 times to run up and down the map to cover a whole planet.. whoa.. thats gonna take a looong time :-)
i hope animals like (for example) the peko peko albatross arent THAT rare.. or ill have to run all day :-)
How do YOU find such creatures ? do you know where they spawn ? do you just start running in circles till you find something ?

Even if you were to take the ungodly amount of time to map a planet, creatures despawn. Something else will likely respawn there next time, so your mapping would be out of date. I might be wrong there, but I don't think so. I think there are patterns for a particular creature spawning in an area, but not the exact spot.

My suggestion would be (assuming you know what creature or type you are looking for) grab a destroy mission or two from a regular mission terminal.

Hope that helps

thank god i didnt plan to map where which creature spawns :-)

but lets say i want to find a peko peko albatross.. i know krayt dragons spawn in that valley (never been there), but i havent heard of a spot known for albatrosses... how would you start searching for them ?

ive only seen two in my life and ive been on naboo most of the time

I'm not all that familiar with Naboo, so I can't really say. If you can't get missions from the mission terminal on them, hopefully someone else on the forums does. Either that or alot of walking, hehe.

If you want a small guide to tracking, I wrote one up not too long back. Check out http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=ranger&message.id=21795. Hope it helps.

I think I've got a pretty good handle on where the albatross spawns, at least in my galaxy. It's fairly consistent if you go in a particular direction and use your tracking skills.
