Yeah, maybe. Maybe I mistaken that engineering stage with upgrading Caustic sinks to '1/7'. My memory is a crap and this isn't something worth remembering anyway. Point is: they're identical to those you can obtain at any time by using existing ways.

Help

I believe you need to go to a station that can do re-arming and outfitting. I think you need to initially buy the fighters from the outfitting screen where you buy the hangar. Once that is done, the fighters can be restocked via rearming, or via the advanced maintenance.

This ^

Each hangar bay houses a certain number of fighter blueprints that it uses to be able to produce, deploy, and service a fighter belonging to that blueprint. Most blueprints you buy like a SRV (the Guardian one works a tad different though as you have to unlock it).

If you want to get any use out of your fighter flying solo, you will need an AI crew member to pilot it for you.

the hanger shows as installed in the optional list but not the buy fighters option

The fighters are initially bought in the same way as SRV. I am not sure if every dockyard have SLFs so better go in Jameson or some big station.

Is Jameson operational again?

It just went right back to operational state because that is how the Thargoid invasion system works. If a port does not reach the “Damaged” or “Abandoned” state upon completion of the invasion it goes right back to fully operational.

Which sounds dumb when GalNet claims it was heavily damaged but this is how things are.

Having just given the Azimuth-improved peashooters from the Shin Dez rewards a go, my initial verdict is… they’re still peashooters. I haven’t really noticed a significant difference in the speed taking out Scouts or Cyclops’ hearts*, but they do make taking out a Medusa heart within the exertion window significantly more reliable.

… just, don’t bother wasting ammo trying to exert the Medusa unless it is getting shot at by other NPCs or players. And, briefly joining a planetary CZ, they still kind of suck at taking out a Hydra’s heart even if they’re not as bad at it as the standard ones.

*They do seem to use less ammo so they probably do take them out quicker, I just haven’t felt a significant difference there. Yet to encounter a Basilisk, or see how they perform vs Glaives. And the autoloader mod is actually quite great at keeping up and never having to sit out the reload timer of the standard.

Actually, you just proved you’re good at taking comments out of context because I have used AX multicannons extensively, just not the Azimuth variant which I obtained on my alt from the CG. And I didn’t need it to confirm what I already knew from numbers alone, that they are not a good weapon with which to exert Medusa and Hydra hearts, which you’d rely on NPCs or other players for. Nor are they to take out a Hydra’s.

… I also don’t know what gives you the idea we are sisters. Sure, we are both insane, but there’s no connection beyond that point.

If I remember correctly, everything in ShinDez was labeled "abandoned" in the system map.

If I remember correctly, everything in ShinDez was labeled "abandoned" in the system map.

Everything except for Jameson, it was marked “Under Attack”(it’s the big angry red icons you can see on the currently invaded systems around Cocijo and Raijin, as well as select formerly populated - and currently Thargoid controlled - systems around the latter).

Either way, the port is currently fully operational again and is not going through a repair cycle like the others. I’ve heard some busy bees already delivered the materials to get the engineer base up and running again (probably Operation Ida). If it’s that “Jameson” you were asking about, it was not fully operational when I visited it… idk, some 8 hours ago? I think.

If you asked about the Memorial it just went right back to full functionality the moment the Thursday server maintenance ended and the invasion state cleared.

As far as Im concerned, Shin dez is compromised now, we cant be sure there was no security breeches during that attack
basically if there was any secrets here, they are gone now

Secrets of the Jameson Memerial? You mean, how many ships are being mothballed there as module storages?
