Before I make a bug report, I just wanted to find out if this is actually a bug or if I’m doing something wrong.

I have a couple of currents quests that are, presumably, directing me to a specific location on a planet. I will travel there by aiming at the quest icon and using the pulse engine.

However, before I even reach the planet, the quest icon will disappear. I land on the planet, expecting to then be able to use my visor to pinpoint the exact location… but it doesn’t pick up a signal.

Then, I turn around and look up at the sky, and lo and behold, there’s the icon again, looking as if it’s on a different planet, where I just came from! So I get in my ship, pulse toward it again, and have the same exact problem! Rinse and repeat.

To me, it seems like the icon is actually existing in the space *between* two planets, and not actually on one or the other. As if, maybe it thinks there’s supposed to be a planet there, but there really isn’t?

I believe this is a main quest, and not one of those smaller faction missions, so I don’t know if there’s any way for me to drop the quest and pick it up again. Sorry, I don’t remember the quest name off the top of my head (I’ll have to edit this post after work, when I’m able to get on the game to check), but I’m pretty sure this is happening with at least two of my current quests, so I don’t think it’s a quest-specific bug, necessarily. It might just be a navigation/UI bug.

Or maybe I’m just missing something or being dumb!

I’m playing on PC.

If anyone else has encountered this, can you tell me if I’m doing something wrong? Was there a way for you to resolve it?

Thanks, all!
