Need help with a problem...

I'm currently running cargo. Did a search on inara for a station with large landing pad (planetary excluded) in the system Condi. Inara tells me best price in Condi system for cryolite is either Huber Mines or Parkhomenko Minerlogic Exploration. I'm in Condi system and see neither of these stations in system, not even as a surface installation. I've tried switching to solo and private modes thinking they possibly didn't exist in one instance or another, still not there. Checked eddb.io and they also show the stations. At 427 ls from arrival point, Huber Mines should be on or around planet A 4 A. Mapped that planet, still no Huber Mines. Is there a problem with either the game or the eddb database that is causing this??

I've run into this problem before in other systems with other stations, and it's getting a bit annoying.

Are you in Ody or Horizons? Those stations are for Ody.

It's been falling apart for years - it's lost sonething like a third of its original territory since the game launched!

Anyone know if it's possible to stow away in the hardpoints of npc ships?

I've noticed that if you're standing on a ship as it is taking off, you basically slide off the hull. However, on the conda (and presumably other ships with top hardpoints) the doors are glitched so you drop right through into the weapon bay. This has solid walls and floor. Technically therefore, if should prevent you sliding off the spaceship during lift off. So it should allow you to travel on an npc craft?

Not been able to test this as there are no wingmates or npcs where I am and I've not seen videos of this but I'm guessing it must have been tried.
Very much doubt it would work but intrigued to find out otherwise.

Regarding the formerly Federal systems that declared independence: There's now a Fedneck aligned megaship in the main system, and once again they seem to be hellbent in beating us Imperials in having the most pretentious name: Fortress Liberty

M. LehmanCommunity for six years: "We want ship interiors!"

FDev: "We've decided that you don't. But you know what you do want? Sitting and doing nothing as an NPC flies you somewhere in a game predicated on flying yourself around. There is literally zero gameplay attached to this mechanic. How about that? Eh? Ehhhh?"

Community: ...



Oh this made me giggle uproariously….

Until the reality set in.

It still makes me sad to this day that they ignore our desire for ship interiors. I guess they decided copy+paste pilot lobbies were good enough.

Ship interiors have always been a "Nice to have" in my book, I don't feel I'm missing much without them.

And there's certainly more pressing matters for the dev's attention by the looks of things!

Zero-g combat should be the next thing. And that means they'd need ship interiors.

Unfortunately my faith in Frontier is such that I presume that will not happen.

I think some kind of POI that features a ship interior, on ground or in space, that you can explore and exploit will happen (eventually!)

But an interior of your own ship? Nah, not any time soon, that looks like a hugely complex undertaking.
