So yesterday the community both discovered and solved the ‘Cookie Astronaut’ quest chain in open space.
This involved quite a bit of nonsense but I’m not noting any of that - just:
- what you need
- what you need to do
- what you get
And that’s it.
Okay?
Cool. Let’s begin.
What do you need?
- Clearance Rank 13
- Some good running shoes
How to begin
In order to begin the quest, you need to find the ’ Cookie Astronaut’ stranded in the ’ Ontregos Drift’ system.
The Astronaut will have a ’ !’ over it and you will need to interact with them to accept the mission.
Spoiler
They’re sensor visible, so you shouldn’t have a problem finding them upon warping into the system.
The first step
In order to complete each step, you need to activate four beacons in a specific order. If you don’t want to farm aliens for 10-12 hours to find the instructions, follow this map:

Do note that beacons do not indicate a correct interaction - once you finish interacting with a beacon the interact prompt will simply appear again.
Once you finish interacting with a beacon move to the next sector and continue.
Upon activating the final beacon in the sequence the ‘Cookie Astronaut’ will become visible on your radar - go pick him up to complete step 1.
