I was just having some fun testing some of the content i've never been fortunate enough to see and got an escalation but after arriving at the destination system I couldn't find out how to warp to the gate to start the escalation mission and nothing showed up in the system on the probe scanner that looked remotely related to the escalation mission.

If someone could enlighten me how this is supposed to work I would appreciate it. If expeditions are currently broken that would be good to know as well.

Here's a screenshot of the probe scanner results and the expedition with right click context menu.

If there's a way to warp to the entry gate or activate the mission i've possibly missed reading the fine print or the way escalations are used could use some polish for the Odyssey expansion given the exploration theme.

If a 5 year vet that's never done an escalation before is having difficulty figuring out how to use an expedition mission that could be worth some dev time to update the system to make it more assessable as well.

They are known to be broken. Should be fixed soon(tm?).

In the screenshot you have the journal opened with a countdown timer, what happened when you right-clicked that?
That's the usual way to get to an escalation, arrive at system where the escalation lead you, open journal/expeditions, then right-click and warp to the area.

I got an escalation the other day, I made my way to the system it was supposed to be in, and nothing.
R-clicking on the expedition line didn't have any "warp to" option. So yes, definitely broken.

The right click context menu from the journal didn't show a warp to destination which left me wondering :)
