Is the CoM quest for "Hyacinth" still bugged?

[RossMorris]

I am playing the Commonwealth of Man empire and the search for the Hyacinth ship event came up. I surveyed the 2 systems it told me to but I found nothing. The event log says that I had no luck finding it but I should keep looking. I have now covered over a 100 years since then and have explored about 90% of the galaxy.

Is it possible that this event is still bugged? I know it was in the early release.

It's not specific to the Commonwealth of Man, and I haven't gotten the start of the event chain in a while, so, I don't know if it's bugged still.

There are other pre-made empires that start out as a lost colony? Which ones?

No, but when you edit the CoM you still get it because the trigger doesnt get "erased".

 

[The Founder]

It (as well as spawning the UNS) will trigger for any empire that has the "human_2" flag. If you create a empire from the CoM, it will have that flag.
But if you save and later use said empire, it will NOT have that flag anymore. Wich means it is consdiered "just an random empire with a species called humans".

I never had any issues with that quests. 3 Systems are marked. The 2nd Surveyed* (or entered by a science ship after having been surveyed previously) will usually give me the "Ion Trail" of the ship. Wich leads me to the system where it is. So the 3rd one can usually be ignored.
