Elite: Game talk

I'm playing for a minor faction, and even reading a lot, I didn't get something:
• why do we send data to another faction?
Everytime we have data for some reason, and everytime we deliver it to another faction. I don't remember anytime we send it to a station owned by our faction or at least for the faction itself. So, why?

Eduardo VingraskHi, Commanders.

What I believe you are referring to is data transfer missions. These basically turn you into a courier. Your faction already has said data, but you need to give it to other factions for them to react to it. For example a mission that says transport election data: This is like when we have election predictions on TV or the internet, basically you are transporting the election predictions/results/tally to another faction so they can react to it. Essentially, it is sensitive information from one faction to another. Most minor factions do not have more than one system they are located in as well. Only big factions that control one system, then expand might send data back and forth from their hubs. Regardless, it is just one of those things that we may never 100% know. You could justify it as sending private messages between faction leaders.
Hope that helps.
And yes it has to do with the BGS, which I do not completely understand.

Sable MoonI'm about to start unlocking Selene Jean. Can I just bring her 500 tons of metals or minerals, or do I have to actually mine it. Do I have to mine in space or does collecting materials with the SRV count?
It must be mined, by you, in space, using a mining laser. The requirement would have been better written as 'Refine 500 tons of ore'. Theoretically someone else could use the mining laser and you could just have your collector limpets pick up their chunks, but the important part is that a refinery on your ship converts those chunks into cargo.
Other than the 10 painite she requires, you can sell what you mine at any station with a commodity market.

Also, grab like 11-12 tons of Painite before you go. I magically lost one on the way to Selene Jean. You can imagine the... joy.
