The game may have trolled you with its RNG.
Why would be Xenon carrying weed in the first place?

after much scanning, do i realise that Xenon fighters have no cargo space. The cargo ships are always empty and the miners have ore in them.

Heh, does this mean I should stop bothering to scan every xenon ship I encounter? :p

It doesn't seem to be an RNG mission, as I've had it come up several times in two different games but I can't figure out how to complete it either.

Don't forget you can shipscan while in pause, if you've the correct mode selected & the target's within range & the scan reticule..

If you are looking for a junkie Xenon

The ship you are looking for is not a xenon ship (tell me about it : )

Find a spaceweed factory and monitor wich ship buys the spaceweed and when it undocks scan it (thats it)

The problem I got that there was no demand for spaceweed an as such no traders where buying the weed. I hat to go to a nearby station that buys spaceweed an hack the modules to eject som of the cargo (economical boost : )

What I did

1. Buy Space Weed [(my Ship Elite (Startship)]
2. Fly in Xenon space
3. Search Xenon Energy freighter/transporter? (I play in german, so I don't know the english names)
4. Drop 1 peace of Spaceweed straight infront of the Xenon ship (we where nearly kissing each other o.O)
5. Be sure the cargo was taken by the Xenon ship
6. scan the ship. (BE SURE THE MISSION IS ACTIVE)
7. Thank me! :D


It took me alot of time to find a xenon ship which can collect cargo out of space.

A few tips here:
- use a small ship with max out equip => this will save you a lot of travel time.
- take a view pieces of space weed with you (I bought full cargo) => you can't collect droped space weed cargo, because the droped cargo is too large.... no idea how this big ones could be stored in the ship before :gruebel:
- Press "pause" button on the keyboard to pause the game -> press F2 two times to and rotate the cam around your ship -> be sure you are realy infront of the ship (It can be hard to see in first person)

Have Fun! :)

That's... that's very clever. I really wonder if Egosoft thought this through or were having a laugh or both?

Thank you! :D

I don't think they were thinking of this possibility. But the mission is flagged as "Impossible". So well... it isn't! :D

Some of the "find lockbox" or "destroy mines" missions are also tagged as impossible, but they are fairly easy to do. That said, some of the easy missions are near impossible.....
