This might be a really dumb suggestion... Are you or have you pressed the eco jump toggle in map screen?

Yes i did. Flying in cockpit since game launched but now wanna fly around milky way to poke some outsanding sightseeing. Never used engineers for max jump range, but for combat and similar stuff. When i had some problem with my ship, always found answer forums/vids. But now im stuck. Im sure There will be some overlook dumb step i miss even if i used guide step by step.

I’ve been learning the basics, flying around, exploring and doing some delivery and data missions. I currently have a type 6 transporter (I think) I have about 100 storage capacity and i believe it’s pretty much maxed out storage wise. I currently have around 11-12million cash and I’m looking to buy a ship which I can maybe already afford or I’m not too far off being able to purchase. I’m not worried about it’s combat abilities il do combat later on when I have plenty of money to spend on a combat ship; but for now I’m looking for a ship which is can carry lots to increase my profit on trading runs as well as a good Jumping distance and if it can take abit of fire from other ships in emergency’s that’s even better
Any suggestions on what ship I should buy or should i carry on using what I have?
Thanks

You may want to look at getting a Python. It's a great all around ship. A little expensive at the start, but it can haull as much as a type-7 while being more agile and tougher.

Synthya WylderI agree with Jubei. ^
Me too!
Even though it isn't my favourite ship to fly, it makes a great trader with some teeth to boot.

Type-7 is a lot cheaper, yet it is good only for hauling but is around 50mil.
So, CMDR RockyBohanon, it looks for me that you still have to work for the big boiz. Perhaps, you should try some other activity.

You pretty much want to stick to maxed out Cobra Mk III depending what you want to do. If you want to earn quick money without getting bored, I'd point out at Bounty Hunting (i.e. sticking in High RES) and being a tag-along with System Authority ships. If you are lucky, you may end up with 10 mil/hr by just tagging wanted ships, because bounty hunting received a very neat boost. Tagging Anaconda may give you around one million credits.
Alternative is outfitting Diamondback Explorer for, well, exploration and spending two weeks in the black then turn in the findings in a system with Expansion state.
However, if you are planning to balance between combat and adaptability in the near future, I'd point out at Krait Phantom (not Krait Mk II), because it's basically bigger Cobra Mk III. While it lacks SLF and third Large hardpoint of Krait Mk II, both share the same Powerplant and Power Distributor. In case of Krait Phantom you can even use 5A Power Plant instead of 7A if you go classical combination (2x Pulse 2x Multi), because ship is not strained much in that combination. Plus, you can run away from basically anything if you think that luck isn't in your favor - while Python, while being a bit more expensive option (~25 million more) is can lag in speeds, but can resist a lot of stuff.

Galactic SquidI’m mining for alexandrite and void opals,I got to an asteroid with a core and now I have a refinery full of alexandrine at 100% all bins, but none of it will refine.. I’ve vented a lot of it that wasn’t allocated but it still won’t refine, I don’t want to vent all of it if I don’t have to. Please help
Do you have free cargo capacity? Is your rafinery powered on?
