EpisparhWows community kind? Really, it is a salt mine

To be fair, I'm referencing the past. It used to not be so bad. Players in WoWS used to comment about how it was a nice get away from the toxicity in WoT.

While your statement is true, just to be certain of being on the same page, we were referencing World of Warships, not World of Warcraft.

Lol, today I had up to 4 CMDRs in my team in high CZ and no one in opposition supporting Hudson.

That CG will be rofl stomp.

No kidding. As of the time I am posting this, some of the top 10% of players fighting for the separatists, have more bounties turned in than the number 1 player fighting for the federation.

Look at your navigation tab. The body where the contact is should marked as mission location. Once near the body looks again in navigation tab , the mission POI should be marked again.
If you are near the body but no POS spawn I guess Frontier sux at fixing bugs.

Last night I engineered a G5-reinforced fast-charging bi-weave shield generator for my Mamba and took it to a hazRES for testing. Now I have zero desire for prismatics. Bi-weaves are so much better! No more docking to recover accumulated shield loss, yay!

Next I think I'll do some engineering on my Python. It has been in my fleet for a few months and needs some love, too.

Keep in mind you can also do a reboot/repair at slow speeds to get your shields back up, and flying in supercruise also increases your shield regen. Both Prismatics and Bi-weaves have their uses so I don't think it's a matter of 'better' and more 'preferred for your purposes'. Personally, I also like Bi-weaves for most things except PVP situations.

You don't have to be an errand girl/boy to buy Bi-Weaves.

Previously, when I had the A-rated generator and only lasers, a fight against a pirate wing would sometimes take long enough to wear my shield down to 50%, so I had to regen before I could take on another wing. Going from 50% back to 100% would take about 13 minutes, so at that time it was better to leave the hazRES. Now with the huge MC and the bi-weave generator, the shield rarely drops below 80%, and by the time I acquire the next target, it's almost fully recovered. So I can stay longer and make more credits in a shorter time. Maybe I'll be more successful in solo'ing threat level 6 wing missions, too. These were quite difficult with the old setup.

By the way, I've noticed that in Odyssey the "target highest threat" key (default H) doesn't work reliably. In Horizons it would target the next hostile NPC that recently fired at you, even if it was behind you. In Odyssey it often does nothing, so I have to target visually (using T) instead. Very annoying.

Yup, it seems to have stopped working at all. Used it to quickly lock on to the next target in CZs when there was no luxury of browsing the 'Contacts' panel, but now it seems useless.

It does work occasionally. Need to check if there's a bug report already...
