I have a question about the BGS that I'm wondering if anyone can help clarify for me. If a system's faction is currently in both a Boom and Infrastructure failure, with the prices for selling food at a controlled station being so low that it's pretty much impossible to sell anything for a profit, then doesn't that mean that selling food will affect the faction at double the negative impact? It frankly seems like it would, but I'm pretty new to BGS stuff.

Was thinking today. With credits being at a premium again, multi crew npc pilots really need to bring something other than combat to the team to be worth those 10% shares. Like, if there were mining or exploration SLF they could pilot, they would really be worth it. Whereas as it is, I can't justify hiring any crew. And that makes me sad, as that was kind of a cool little addition to the game that only punishes you if you use it.

Anyone having issues seeing your Goals in Inara or in the game? I just turned in over 3 mil in bounty and it does now show my progress.

Did you register to CG?
Did you turn in this vouchers on Spirit of Laelaps?
Sometimes re-log can help.

If by npc pilots, you mean, SLF pilots, they are different from multi crew.

Just been to Haz RES in LHS 2065 and found it pretty tough going in my Krait. wings of gunships and clippers, deadly and elites. Kept losing my fighter and shields which made long term commitment tricky. I don't like people touching my hull. That's just rude.
So tried the High RES and in contrast, just couriers and sidey at expert and competent. I didn't even move pips from 2-2-2. Got bored before I could make enough cash.
So, need to find some middle ground or get good quick.


If this is the ship  that you use then I see why is the struggle. You better invest some time to unlock engineers and obtaining some materials. You also need to spend some time on the drawing board to refine your build.

E: D PvE Ccmbat Wiki has a nice engineered build for Krait Mk2. I suggest you start from it and tune it for your needs.

P.S. You can add me as friend and I can carry you through a Haz RES

@Episparh - I can not find your name in game to add as a friend... I assume your character is the same spelling on here?

Hi Commanders,

Bit of an issue here, my player faction got into civil war with the controlling faction. They control the stations in the system, we were fighting in combat zones all day, I headed back to station and it took me out, I had no idea why! I am in a FDL no fuel scoop, 13 jumps back to system thinking I have been destroyed and in prison, I should be able to land on carrier. Can’t, system authority ships always there, I assume it is because I am hostile with them. This means that we can’t use the stations and can’t take on any combat missions for our faction. How do we win when the rest of the squadron end up hostile also, I can’t see to find advice on this situation anywhere online, though I am sure that someone must have experienced it. Do they just control the stations and stop us using them until we win one. I would appreciate any advice and tia?
I have edited this post because cmdrs thought I had the issue about fuel. Thanks any cmdrs but winning the war is the questions.

I can use my fuel rats type Anaconda and bring you some fuel.

The prob is not the fuel guys, the bigger issue is being at civil war and not being able to use any station. Is there a way around that? Thanks

Depends how good you are at sneaking into stations.

Silent running or heat sink method are best.
