Take a look at the green galaxy map, look for the other system, and one of the planets should have something on the surface
well theres the issue, i dug there before finding the ship......... ill try digging more but I think I dug past where it would be and since the counter didn't appear until i found the ship after that......... crud. well, i found it after digging another thirty or so tiles down with a mithril pick which breaks a bunch at once soooo to around 30km deep, i was in the mantle. thanks for the hint.
