Ade MasonAs Professor Palin and his team are planning on leaving Obsidian Dock in the next 24 hours to go to Maia b1ba, was wondering if due to the recent sighting of a rogue diamondback scanning the station, if a team should head there to give him some cover and escort, it smells fishy, what with Starship One going missing and the Antares recently I think there is something going on which isn't well.. for want of a better word human, Alien perhaps linked to the barnacle's, especially now his intentions have been announced. publicly, thoughts?

Is there even any game mechanic for escorting them?

Not sure If I'm honest, in the interest of the game and the background Galnet story being there, I would have thought it would be possible, problem being, not knowing a time when they would leave so hanging out for 24 hours waiting I guess wouldn't be possible
I'm in already in the area, landed on Merope 5C last night, guess I could just fly around Obsidian and see what happens if anything, failing that, head to Maia myself ahead of the team and scope the area for unusual activity...

I think it'd be a great mechanic if so, sadly have my doubts about it being possible but do let me know, I'm close to there doing some missions to rank up empire.

BenjethPowerPlay:

I've pretty much ignored PP so far, figured it wouldn't do anything for me. Buddy of mine just started playing a couple weeks ago and right now his first goal is to earn passage to the Sol system so we both pledged to the T-1000 terminator. I'm wanting to take a break from smuggling/trading anyway (just earned Entrepeneur rank) and get back into Combat for a bit and T-1000 is supposed to be good for bounty hunting, it says. So I go to some system that says it's expanding, Goodbridge or something similar? I was interdicted twice by enemy faction ships but I didn't really see any opportunities for hunting there. Took a job that ended up in an unexplored system and with only a basic scanner in my Vulture I never did find the place I was supposed to deliver to in time. Sigh. So now I just landed in the T-1000's HQ system of Nomnoms or whatever. LOL Taking a break from the game for a bit to get stuff done around the house but, what exactly am I supposed to be doing to make PowerPlay useful or to contribute or whatever?

BeachwalkerIs it just me, or is anyone else seeing missions to surface ports that are not on the maps.
Also, when you arrive in the system, there is no sign of the place.
Can anyone else find Lawson Hub in the Deyus System.

Baffling, or. . . . is it an error.
Or am I doing something wrong?

HatatytlaHello, is there any possibility to send a message to all my wing members, please?

if you mean ingame: press the "TAB" key while the textbox is activated to cycle through chat channels.
if you mean on inara: don't know if it is possible other than the group discussion channels

As people have said it is possible to get missions requiring you to travel to ports that you have not 'discovered' yet. They aren't that hard to deal with though. Here's how I handle them. Once in the system where you need to find the planet with your destination port key up your discovery scanner and honk. Then open your system map. You should see a quest icon over the planet you need to visit. Once you get close enough the port will also show up on your scanners. Hope this helps.

MerinidJust curious - there are many systems with "SHUI WEI" in name. Аnyone knows what does it mean in Elite?
Definitely looks like chinese, but without hanzi I don't really know what FD ment.
