There's what seems to be a bug in the starter mission chain when you arrive at 8C HQ. The missions says to speak to an NPC that I forgot the name of, to show some mining samples, but there's no waypoint to him. The only waypoint available is one pointing all the 3000+ meters to 8C Windy Isles. I spoke to the correct NPC available (no brainer, really) and the waypoint to him appeared even though I had just completed that leg. The waypoint to 8C W.I remained and both were removed once I got to 8C W.I. (will upload screenshots in just a sec. having browser issues)
