Hi,  
I could use some help here,  
I killed all the Ships as requested and the mission tells me to destroy the san 1 which apparently is an invisible cloud. I don’t have a clue how to go about this as I can’t seem to even locate this invisible cloud.  
Thanks

I’m not familiar with that mission but it might help to have a tab in your Overview showing everything…

Investigate a possible slave trading outpost and deal with any possible slavers

Looks like after destroying all 30 ships you should have gotten a message to let the slaves rot

Reading comments on eve survival suggests there is a lookout between 20-40km from warp-in point.

Can you link screenshots of what the mission is telling you? The display in the Opportunities tab would be a great help to folks here, I think.

There’s a lot of missions where for some reason the mission objective is called “cloud” of some sort instead of the proper name. Some mix-up in the databases that CCP haven’t gotten around to fixing I guess.

I am currently in a similar situation. I took out the initial battlecruiser, warped to first room, killed first wave and then decided I needed a different drone set. I left to system 5 jumps away, got the drones I wanted and came back and through acceleration gate. Wrecks from first wave were there, looted them but none of the enemy ships were there any longer and I have message that I need to destroy the “san 1” which comes up as an invisible cloud. Nothing visible even close to this. If anyone knows secret here, I would appreciate it.

The mission should reset after Downtime… Hopefully you’ll be able to complete it…
