ChallengeI've come to the conclusion there is no real salvage path in E:D. After chasing various signals everything is either Materials, or Cargo that gets listed as stolen. Has no one in this Century heard of Salvage Laws?
I've come across random salvage on some planets when just driving about.

Happy new year! Could someone point me in the direction of a server status page.... I know I saw one last year but have trawled for an hour with no joy...
Thanks in advance!

UptownmedalWhere do you go to pay fines lol i abandoned a mission and i need to pay for it i guess lol
At an Authority Contact in that system or an Interstellar Factor Authority Contact anywhere. You can look for both using the Nearest function on Inara - > Galaxy - > Systems and Stations - > Nearest

the inara funtion to look for interstellar factors is awesome it will help you extensively , however it is always good to know the old school way to find things. In the galaxy map your 4th tab or MAP VIEW CONFIGURATION, go MAP subtab , select services from drop down menu and click on interstellar factors and the map will automatically show you the nearest dot in the sky you can go for what you need. Play around with your map a little. It is by far still the best part of this whole game.

EpisparhColdSteel60I haven’t flown the Type 6 but at a guess I doubt it’s that different from the Keelback. I believe the Keelback’s heavier overall but it does have those super-duper outboard engine things added on so maybe it is more manoeuvrable
Type-6 is faster and can carry more. Keelback lost this because of SLF.
i want to add something about t6...and its a tip that works for this game in many aspects from how far you jump to how much shields you have and that is MASS, pay attention to your mass and the added mas s you get when you upgrade your ship... as a rulle of thumb...you wann jump far, manouver quick and have godly speed... use D-rated modules... i always recommend this to small nimble cargo ships. the only A rated things you need in a t6 is power plant and fsd and drives maybe......the rest d-rated...why d-rated? D is the less massive throught all modules...again PAY ATTN TO MASS. in this game MASS IS EVERYTHING.

then go further into it by stripping it all with engineers...

CephyAegis corporation wants to make a summit of every powerful person that matters in all the powers and put them all in one place for one day....what happens if we blow up the station/outpost/city/ WHATEVER IT TAKES TO KILL THEM ALL? Can we kill them all now that we are gonna have them in one spot for one day...come on guys someone has to be able to sneak a tactical nuke in that summit. hOW ABOUT MASSIVE TERRORIST ORBITAL BOMBARDMENT, kill everything on 100 kilometer radius centered on summit. If they agree to convene, I iwsh to strike as many of them down as possible in one go to see what happens in the game..if only one could.
Well aren't you just a little ray of nuclear sunshine! I suppose you could try to organize a strike on the system for the lulz, but I don't exactly expect Frontier to take notice and incorporate it into the story. That being said, given the way things have been going and Odyssey just around the corner, we may very well see some kind of big dramatic event to unfold. I could potentially see an attack triggering a war between the factions fairly easily, so who knows? I'll probably just be sitting on the sidelines selling concessions to the various other spectators and taking some pictures for my scrapbook.

Make sure your stall is outside the 100 km blast radius please, we love you here in the community

Sir Sprocketto7 Commanders,
so there I am running around the Alioth controlled systems, doing various bounty missions and courier data missions , to get my Alioth system permit (some nice trading profits to be found in there).
I take on all and every data courier mission I can find. I stack them up and head out in my Imp Courier "All Right Guv?" and start jumping around all the local systems delivering data and completing the missions. All very standard.
15 systems visited, 15 mission accomplished. I check my Galaxy Map and see no Blue mission tags. I go to my contracts screen and see that I still have 2 contracts outstanding! I am confused I go back to the Galaxy map and zoom out too see where these 2 data delivery missions need their data delivered to too. I can not see it in the bubble.
Ratraii I type into the route finder on my Galaxy map, it pings with that "I know were your going" sound and starts zooming across the galaxy map.
I have 6 days to jump 22,000 light years to deliver 2 courier missions. I am not one to Abandon missions, and I have been been meaning to travel there as I have engineer invitations to access.
So I have stripped out "I was Never Here" My Asp X got the range up to 45 light yr and am heading from Gateway at the end of writing this..
I do love the spanners this game occasionally throws you. Nothing like a lockdown challenge.
As soon as you said Ratraii i knew what happened, i was there about a week ago, Good luck CMDR o7
