Phisto SobaniiIf you're going the speed limit you should be fine.


sure, except that they cut you off, worse than bad drivers on a highway. Because these ones don't fly down the center, they come up on the mailslot like they were being raised from storage on an aircraft carrier, with the front end hanging out and barely missing the railing around the mailslot. Literally had a beluga, the largest passenger vessel, come right up in front of me within 100m when I was close to the mailslot... It barely fit between me and the mailslot, but it did it! i hit my reverse thrusters to keep from colliding with the turkey. I know the ai does not give way, and I see the smaller ships do it too.

The only time I see them slow down or stop is when they are smack dab in the middle of the mailslot lights/shields and I'm flying out the other side, with no danger of actual collision. Then they will stop to let me pass when they don't need to stop. But all the other times, they want to get in ahead of me, at risk of their own ship, every time.

One thing that really annoys me the most, are these massacre missions for combat zones, today it just dissappeared after I dock to resupply my fighters. no zones left in the system, they just dissappear and I still have ten hours left on the task and need 14 more kills.
So I go to their home system, and they aren't engaged against anyone anywhere there.
So I go back to the system that task is meant for and scan the nav beacon and it tells me to find them the old fashioned way. so I'm scanning all the ships coming into the nav beacon and even though I find several that belong to the right party, not one of them is flagged as a mission target.

The missions need to have an expiration timer that will not go past when the combat zones are gone. This is one reason i really dislike doing the massacre tasks, but it had engineer parts that I am in desperate need of so I picked it up, now just to be denied at the end.

Makes me want to ram into smaller ships and make them explode.

If your not a BGS freak like me I suggest wherever you are look closer at the states and use Inara as a reference for systems [or close by] to see what state may be pending. That way if a war or civil war starts you'll see it early, or catch a few MMs before there is a result. Another method is to check the news in the station panel by date to see how long the state has been active (or pending). That may your best bet if you're not in a system for very long. Don't forget right UI as well. Oh yea, System map helps too. Using  all three together and Inara of course, will help gauge what is going on in the system as far as the BGS is concerned and plan accordingly. Good luck!

So I was disconnected with ED on Xbox and quickly logged back into the game. But imagine my surprise when I saw this.

Can anyone tell me the current system Gnosis is in? I went out exploring and suspect I missed the latest jump, so I probably need to catch up to it.

Super! I wanted to check out this nebula before Gnosis got too far away, then with Thanksgiving week I forgot about the next jump.

Does anybody know, if I were to have the Empire specific or Federation specific fighter in my bay, but it's not sold at the station I docked at, does it still resupply the rebuild counter for it?

Like if I had the Empire fighter in my bay and had used them all up at a RES and the station I docked at was controlled by Fed, would it resupply or does it only supply the one they sell there?
