1BIGDAMNHEROI cannot find grid resistors anywhere... I am fairly new and I don't know how to find ship salvage or a manufactured material trader.
From the top panel, select Data → Search nearest, then click Material traders in the Quick Search links near the bottom.

You need to search any Unidentified Signal Sources -USS-on the in-game system maps.
Material traders can be found here under DATA

About INARA API
haven't used ED for a few years. Previously I could update Inara manually (as in not automatically), but I've forgotten how. I am able to update automatically by using my Steam account info and details.
How do I update my data manually? And how do I reset the auto-update back to manual? (How do I turn off auto-update)

here is a question to you PVP pros:
I was shot at with a torpedo inside Jameson Memorial station (in open) the other day when I just had left the pad. I saw a hollow triangle at the radar low in front of me, but I did not have a visual. I dropped a heat sink - for whatever that´s worth - boosted out of the mailslot and left the scene. I regret now, that I did not investigate further, but I was in my people carrier ship to do some evac.
How did our fellow do that without getting attacked by the station´s security? I got shredded once for just testing a hatch breaker.
Does the "report crimes" setting make a difference?
Thank you for your views on this

DiQueueYou are right about that. It's just: would you fire a lone shot if it likely takes you to the rebuy screen? After all, it did not even leave a dent in my Python. That's why I thought, there might be a trick to it. Then again, it's Elite Dangerous ...
I once accidentally opened fire on my fleet carrier at point-blank range because I thought my landing gear was deployed, and my alternate controls for landing have lateral thrust where my weapons usually are.
I did not survive the experience

My Alt account is where I do a majority of my exploring. I've used a Dolphin for a few months now and it does decently, but I want to get into something with a better jump range and has more options. I've been looking at the Orca, Phantom and the Clipper as possible upgrades. At the end of the summer, I'd like to start a half-year exploration trip from Sag A* to Colonia.
My budget is currently 150,000,000 credit...any thoughts on how to get the most ship at the best use of the credits?

Phantom Explorer
I fly her in VR, the Cockpit view is neat. She will leave you with a lot of your savings too.

For me, the only downside of the Conda is it's size. Sometimes it takes a while to find a landing spot, but it is managable. I bring a SLF too for canyon runs.

I understand that EDDB is no longer working, so my question is how do I find stations that sells Guardian models etc?
mant thanks

If you are looking for the best jump range, your choice is not that big ASP Explorer, Krait Phantom and Anaconda. Personally, the Krait is the best.

DiQueueI really like my Phantom:

You might want to look at an Anaconda too. Fully engineered you get another few Lys of extra range. That would need another 100 Mil. of Budget. On a good day you can get that much in the Tharg conflict or doing exobiology.

VR would be nice to experience the galaxy in.
Nice ship, too! My alt is inbound to the Bubble to do take care of some business, buy a ship and do some things like unlocking the FSD Booster. The main reason I'm tending to favor a medium ship is the ability to find a landing spot. I know I have the large-class Clipper listed as an option and that is the budget. I could do some Xeno work or trading in the Imperial section of space to get the funds up (her faction is maxed in Cubeo and surrounding systems). May have to rethink the 'Conda for this, if I can pull in the credits.
