SakashiroI wonder if there's a first footfall opportunity left for a poor Courier pilot.
Beagle point and Semotus Beacon/Salome's reach are quite popular places. I wouldn't be surprised if Meta-FDL interdicts you in those systems

I bet those systems are crowded with fleet carriers.

SakashiroI just looked at the game's log files and realized that ED has detailed records of everything I've experienced since the day I bought it. Every flight taken, every mission accepted, every piece of cargo carried, every ship bought or sold, every module engineered, every stellar body discovered, scanned and explored, every encounter with another pilot, even every NPC message!
How do you thought that sites like Inara, EDSM, etc. gets your flight, mission, combat logs?

Until recently I thought there was some API for them to plug right into the game session or retrieve data from Frontier's servers.
Anyway, now if I forget when something happened in the game, I know where to look it up. My CMDR's birthday for example, or the day she left the newbie zone.

Some of the date comes from Frontier APIs - this is the synchronization part, but EDMC, EDDI, EDDisovery, etc., actually reads your local journals files and send them to various 3rd party tools.

GRIMM_PUNISHERIs it considered bad taste to discuss a possible glitch that could be an exploit? I might have accidently discovered an interesting one.
It's best to contact Frontier privately about possible exploits, so they can react without people misusing it in a wide scale. Alternatively, if you drop me into PM how it works, how to reproduce it and what it does, I can try to bring it into their attention fast.
