Time limit on HU8 Treasure hunt?

Is there a time limit on the treasure hunt in HU8? If so, what starts the clock running? Is it ticking from the second you start a new game, or does following up on a certain clue trigger it?

I finally finished the hunt only to find the final "clue" missing. If I go straight to it without following up on the original Manhattan clue it's there, but I've spent so much time trying to get it the "right" way I'd hate to cheat now.

I've tried starting the hunt as far back as 16 hrs into the game, when I was still in the campaign missions, but same result. Maybe the treasure hunt wasn't intended for SP...

Also, no matter when I start the hunt, I always get the "there are a couple of guys ahead of you" message. This is what makes me think maybe I've missed a time limit while playing the early locked-jumpgate SP missions.

I'm not sure what to try next.

Anyone who knows what I can do PLEASE HELP!! THANKS!!!

@Odium: I found it by setting waypoints and sweeping the system. Buy a good scanner first like the Lone Ranger at Mactan. Flying along the map lines should get you close enough for it to show up on your map.

On another note, I just can't seem to get done quick enough. I restarted and played SP like a maniac, using wrecks, etc, to get to the first clue in a litte over 2 hours gametime. Didn't matter; after following up I was still too late to get the last "clue".

My last resort is to try cheating. I picked up the last "clue" first and I'm going to try to follow the trail while pretending I don't have it yet. We'll see...

HAS ANYONE SUCCESSFULLY FINISHED THE HUNT IN SP??? If so please post a reply so I know there is a way to do it!

Thanks guys, and once again Great work Giskard!
