I recently added a scope and magazine on my 2nd Executioner without any problem. There is a known issue where the mats do not update after you applied a mod, hence if you try to apply next mod it might show as you have the mats but you actually do not have them. This is why some CMDRs thinks their mats were "eaten" but the mod was not applied. The solution for now is to apply relogski after each mod applied. This will refresh your mats to your current one after previous mod was applied.


I had 3 G5 Weapons (Karma P-15, TK Aphelion, TK Eclipse) with no Mods on them at all. Tried it on all 3, on the Aphelion it gave me the "Processing" circle but nothing was added.



After I relogged I found myself short of a certain type of Mat for whatever reason



Haven't tried it since, went to add Greater Range Mod on both P-15 and Aphelion, my only two Mods so far.

This is the display bug. You probably didn't had the items at first place. If you use some program to track your logs you can see that. If it is not that case and you have a proof that the game got your mats but gave you nothing, head toward issue tracker and submit a ticket or whatever.

Nah, all good. Was just a bit annoyed back then but got so much stuff by now it shouldn't be an issue. Going to doublecheck if I have everything regardless.

Hunt or be hunted. It's a rule as old as time itself.

That rules applies that you gain something from hunting (loot, food, etc. ) In E : D it is pointless.

I always give people a chance to show a good manners but then I can kill or run as the ape suggests It usually depends on which option is easier for me.

Question to the more experienced CMDRs regarding powerplay:

I cba to farm more eng mats atm, instead looking for something to do except robigo runs. And I'm a bit lost with all the different guides and info about pp.
I only play pve, usualy private group. Is powerplay on option to spice up things? I'm ok with loop transporting, smuggling or playing a simple courier as long as it does account to something.
If so, is there any pp force that gives me more income or needs trading or smuggling?

Powerplay is better done in open. Preferably as part of one of the player communities for a power.

That said, Powerplay is better not done at all since it's been a pointless grind for the past six years. The most Fdev has done to change it has been to give PPers the chance to vote on what systems go from prep to expansion. You'll end up wasting more time and credits trying to help a power than you'll ever make back.

Well, that sounds bad. But there are communities around it, so it can't be as bad as you say.

I'm not interested in exploring and pvp, just need something to aim for with trade/smuggle/couriing. Maybe sounds boring to you, but I'm fine with loop trading as long as it leads to anything and provides some income. I just need something else than robigo to do. Else... I dunno, I'm "done" besides more eng mats. And farming these is just no fun at all, and will even get worse once they migrate everything to Odessey (raw at least).

It was better back when people thought it was going to affect the story and that there were going to be collapse mechanics for the powers. Instead, Frontier has been kicking the can down the road for the last several years. 

The first three years or so were definitely the golden days of Powerplay, but now? Couldn't tell you. Don't know what state it's in, but it sure ain't like it was.

I can't say anything more on PP that hasn't already been said. I'll just point out that come console merge, whenever that ends up being, Horizons eng farming for surface materials will be much more difficult than it is atm. While I understand not wanting to do the Eng grind right now is the golden age for mat farming (in horizons). I recommend engineering a tonne of modules. Even ones you might not need right now but plan to need in the future, and buy enough of those double engineered modules available at tech brokers so you can avoid having to struggle mat farming a year+ from now.

That is ofc assuming the game hasn't collapsed by then etc...

Doom?

Only raw materials are somehow affected in Odyssey and Frontier confirmed that this is bonked so eventually a fix will come

Cheers!
