And next time you notice a hollow square on the radar try to get a scan. Most if not all PvP wings demand that their members have the initials in their name. Meaning if you want to become a member either make a 2nd account or purge your existing save and start from scratch.

Reverend TZWNo, I don't know how the upgrading process works, I figured it was a straightforward 'Upgrade 1', then 'Upgrade 2', rinse and repeat.
Obviously, I hadn't included the 'Frontier Developments' factor into my calculations.
I'd already decided I didn't need that upgrade, but thought it might have been a glitch......I've had several strange ones happen today......I had to logout and back in before I could land properly (long story) at Farseer's place, landing at Azeban Orbital and having NO Commodities Market displayed in the Starport Services Menu, plus a few spontaneous lock-ups and black screens. Game locked up completely but I could still ctl+alt+del and get into Task Manager and everything else that was running.
I'd go back to Wyrd and challenge this No-Fly order, but I don't want to face another re-buy screen and I probably wouldn't get what I would call a sensible answer, anyway, so whoever and whatever they are, they're welcome to Wyrd. If it weren't for an Engineer, it's only claim to fame would be that it's near to Eranin.

Best way to upgrade is do all the grade 1's wether u need them or not (uses material which is easy to get)pick the 1 u want install it but keep crafting and DO NOT accept just discard and it will increase your rep with them
So on and so till grade 5

Or just ask Support nicely to change your name.

CoragonRonins of Amarak aka RoA. Some other PvP wing, but at least they talked and attempted some RP before shooting you down. Just switch to a Private Group or Solo, get your engineering done and once concluded you can switch back to Open if you like.

Nah, I'll stay in Open and avoid Wyrd until it's all blown over or I desperately need that upgrade. Unlikely.
My first encounter with a PVP, that was, after 6 months or so in the game. Do I get a badge or should I have screenshot the Rebuy screen?
Thanks for the info, anyway.

Cool, thanks for that, I'll try it out right now.

Think they'd do it for a stuck Caps Lock key?
Diolch a lot, anyway, I might try that.

Iam looking for "High grade Emission" signals.
Are there any particular systems that have more of these?

GormadocHi

Try those with a Boom state. And be persistent, for even if you find them they might not contain what you looking for every time.

Game wont let me scroll down on the refinery page in Inventory.
I have no issues with scrolling down when i look at the other pages.
Ship Cargo, Materials, Data and Synthesis.
I have recived message that refinery is full.
Which i assume means all bins are in use.
Is this me or a known bug?

I recently bought a Python and started to do some experiments on those hardpoints. Maybe you can find them useful too, so here I'm.
I left 2 gimballed Multicannons on the upper large hardpoints (I can't do without, sorry), while on the 2 mediums and on the large one left (the one on the tip of the ship) I decided to go with turreted energy weapons. But which one is better? So I crunched some numbers…
I shoot each smart combination of weapons till my energy depleted, then I calculated the total damage based on their DPS. This for each energy configuration: ••, ••• or •••• pips in the weapons capacitor.
In the list "s" are the seconds they last, "mj" the damage (seconds X DPS). When you see "∞" the discharge and cooling rates are balanced, so you can keep shooting forever.
3D/T Beam laser + 2E/T Beam laser X2
••= 12s/276mj •••= 18s/414mj ••••= 35s/805mj
3D/T Beam laser + 2F/T Pulse laser X2
••= 22s/528mj •••= 58s/1392mj ••••= ∞
3F/T Pulse laser + 2E/T Beam laser X2
••= 20s/500mj •••= 44s/1100mj ••••=∞
3F/T Pulse laser + 2F/T Pulse laser X2
••= 90s/1530mj •••= ∞ ••••= ∞
In the end it all comes down to how good you are and how much time you can resist while the turrets do their job... Beam/Beam is the worst choice ever. Pulse/Pulse is safer and you can keep up the shields while attacking. The other two (Beam/Pulse & Pulse/Beam) are both good and they just need the minimum pips handling. I personally made my choice… what about you? ;-)
