I have added Nebulas and planetary nebulas for your convenience.

If I recall where I've seen a list of those I will update that post.

ArtiePick any settlement where is a conflict between two minor factions happening (they are at War or Civil war) and you should get either the defender or attacker number increased (depending which faction you will pick at the start of the fight). Both counts to the medal equally, so the side doesn't matter.


Thanks Artie, I was afraid you'd say that. In the past few days I have made ground combat zones in different systems and on different stations. The codex entries didn't increase (38/50). It looks to me like the same issue we had with the market contacts, etc. :-(

Yeah, EDSM is one of the finest 3rd party tools for elite dangerous. If you create account and sync your data it will track your exploration progress, tells you what are the valuable bodies in your current system, add your location on that map and some other nice features. It is focused on exploration. It have also privacy settings which can keep your data, usch as flight log, etc. secure.

Bainsey7So,
I G5 engineered my Orca, went looking for luxury passenger missions and had no luck finding any. A quick google search told me that I'd need high rep in a station that's based on tourism. So I spent a while doing that and I'm now fully allied with all 7 factions in Ride Gateway which is a tourist station in the G 203-47 system.
Once I'd done that I looked in the passenger lounge and, as before, just a s**t load of economy missions, some business class and first-class missions but absolutely zero luxury class missions.
I watched the board for ages in and out as I did other things, must have been hours, but nah. Zilch

Am I missing something?



Those are very rare, mate. There is a reason no one answered yet and the info you find on internet rather misleading. If that station do not work , try another one.

I would pick a system with at least 2 stations so you can go between them after you rise reputation .

Thanks man, I'll give that a go. Cheers for the link, Agastani is close and has two tourist stations. More rep building ahoy...
Many thanks o7

Also, EDDI, which informs you in audio of which are the most valuable bodies in each system and removes the need to analyze anything on screen.

I could quite fancy touring some nebulae. I'm currently heading west, about 8K LY from Explorer's Anchorage having recently resumed an expedition after a long break from the game. Just got to dump a load of cartographic data then I'm free to roam.

Light-HawkI think it would be a lot more efficient if FDev gave the same autodocking programming to the Cutter (and the other large ships for that matter) as they gave the Type 10. To my knowledge, all other ships go in and out of the mail slot with an offset to one side to accommodate opposite going traffic. The Type 10 does not do this. It centers on the mail slot since it is too wide to be offset to the side. I'm inclined to credit this with being why I have never had my Type 10 impact the mail slot and I theorize that the other large ships would benefit from this as well. It might also help the AI's from getting Beluga's jammed in the mail slot.

I see AI T-10s stuck in the mailslot all the time. I'd go so far as to say the most common ship for snarlytoasterjam.?
Maybe it's just the places I hang out.

Interesting perspective. So it does happen. That said I don't remember the last time I saw an AI using a Type 10. I'm just going off my own experience with using it.

EpisparhFor the cutter, just keep in mind it drifts a lot. Do not boost straight to station and definitely do not leave docking computer without supervision.


I found a loaned ADC in the freebie Vulture and put it into the Cutter. So far it has worked well. The T-9 often scratched the mailslot when auto docking. No scratches in the Cutter yet, but I'll put two HRPs into the class 5 military slots, just in case.

With 760t cargo space and increased jump range vs. the T-9 it should be easy to earn 100M Cr per hour by trading. I know there are faster ways to make mony, but this is simple enough for me.


From experience I can tell you that some stations like to bang the cutter around landing on the docking pad with the ADC. You may want to put a cheap shield on it.

Fly a cargo cutter during a haul CG. Half the NPC's that try to interdict you are in t-10's.

Stuck ships and NPC cluttering is a thing of open play and large private groups around popular stations. It can occur with any ships including small one like cobra, DBX, etc. I never saw this in solo.
It is result of some poor net code implementation. Probably same or similar to NPC SLF fighter thing.

P. S. Do not be a sissy, if you see ship stuck in the mailslot - Help it. It is easy,. You just apply Push from behind . NPCs usually boost after you touch their rear Oh, do not exceed 100m/s if you do not a fine or even bounty if something dies in collision with you.

I've had Belugas get stuck in solo but not very often. I don't like that once npcs are on final approach they do not alter course for anything. Sometimes I cannot see them until it is too late to maneuver. Then I get stuck and can't move and they don't back out so I have to relog so the station doesn't fine/shoot me. Doesn't happen too often but it should be one of those circumstances I would think would be accounted for, but then this is FDev we are talking about. *sigh*

ADC misbehavior may be caused by the same thing. I've had no trouble auto-docking the Cutter so far, but I'm only using it in solo.

Do not count on this. In my early months in the game I was playing exclusively in solo. Cutter's docking computer misbehave even there. I bet it is something related to the drifting mechanics as I've noticed it is more common with engineered thrusters.

Hi all!

edsm.net: I have created account / login via Frontiere account but edsm tool did not load my game progress.
From the other side I done the same via Inara and everything working fine.

Anyone know the reason?
I am playing on PC (Steam)
