This tutorial will guide you through the entire main quest, that leads to you getting a Player Headquarter (PHQ).<\/p>\n

SPOILER ALERT! This tutorial is full of spoilers, so do not continue reading if you prefer playing X4 without any spoilers!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

When starting a new game, you should immediately undock and move outside. Press Shift-2 to activate your short-range scanner and carefully fly close to the station to scan it. As you fly around you will suddenly hear a static noise and see some sparks coming from some random spot on the station \u2013 fly close to it and wait for the secret message to be decrypted \u2013 after this a Boron named Boso Ta<\/strong> will start talking to you and ask for your help with an experiment.<\/p>\n

This will start the quest \u201cScientific Expedition\u201d which will give you access to the Player Headquarter as well as allow you to research teleportation.<\/p>\n

Dock at the station -\u00a0Pickup Interface Unit<\/strong><\/p>\n

First task is to dock at the Argon Equipment Dock<\/strong> in Black Hole Sun IV<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As soon as you are docked, press ENTER and select GET UP. Walk out of your ship and follow the orange beacon to the pickup spot (you may have to use the elevators or teleport if it is placed on another level).<\/p>\n

Use the nearest teleport to quickly get back to your ship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Fly to Scientific Area<\/strong><\/p>\n

Notice: Before you undock make sure you have at least one Nav Beacon, Satellite and Resource Probe on your ship.<\/p>\n

Fly to the designated area by following the orange quest beacon. As you get close press SHIFT-3 to activate the long-range scanner and then press R for about 1 second to start a scan. You may need to scan a few times until the anomaly is detected. Fly close to the anomaly and press ENTER and then DEPLOY (CIVILIAN) \u2013 NAV BEACON to place a Nav Beacon.<\/p>\n

Now aim for the anomaly and press TAB to boost through it \u2013 alternatively you can use SHIFT-1 to enable travel mode, as you need some speed to be able to penetratre the anomaly. You will end up in Grand Exchange I.<\/p>\n

Boso Ta will now give you a coordinate to the point of interest, which is another anomaly \u2013 fly near it. After talking Boso Ta will grant you 25.000 credits for your assistance so far.<\/p>\n

Deploy Satellite<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boso Ta now ask you to place a Satellite near the anomaly. He will update your map with a couple of stations in Eighteen Billion in case you forgot to bring a satelite and resource probe\u2026<\/p>\n

Deploy Resource Probe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After some more talking Boso Ta asks you to deploy a Resource Probe at a nearby location. Fly to the location, press ENTER and select DEPLOY (CIVILEAN).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
