SakashiroFYI, the bug where the galaxy map occasionally sends you on a trip with no return still isn't fixed. I plotted a route from Aornum to LHS 20, and after the first jump I got that message saying that this would be the last fuel star on my route. So I scooped to 100%, jumped, then checked the map again, and guess what, there were no more fuel stars ahead of me. I would have run out of fuel on that route. Out of curiosity I returned to Aornum and re-plotted the route with the filter for scoopable stars. Not only was there a perfectly viable alternative, it even had the same number of jumps!
I wonder if they leave that bug in on purpose, as a noob trap. Never trust that route plotter, kids! Always double-check!
I don't think this is a bug Saka so much as a lack of functionality. The GM RP has always been untrustworthy. All it does is plot jumps based on whether it can reach the next system in route with your specified jump range (the default is to use your fully loaded and fueled JR for every jump). It does not even calculate increases in jump range that results from the consuming of fuel at each jump. All it does is show you the last refueling star on your current jump reach plot with the idea that at least you won't have an empty fuel tank at the end of the current tank's range. It is a passive calculation for display convenience, not a proactive one. Someone that's made it to Beagle Point and back should know this
Don't get me wrong, it should absolutely be much better than it has been. Spansh's Galaxy Plotter is the best RP for this afaik, but even it runs the risk of neutron jumping to a system you can't get out of (much more deadly than running out of fuel) so there isn't a system out there that is a perfect Route Planner to the best of my knowledge.
Also, some would argue the unreliability of the FDev RP is a feature. It resulted in a whole other avenue for gameplay: Fuel Ratting...

UmbrellaCorpI just got a permit to HIP 22460. It's been unknown permit locked for years. Go to Synuefe GB-O c9-8 planet 10 and scan the beacon -> this will grant you that system permit. You can locate settlements there and pick up 5 messages regarding new thargoid behavior spotted.
so what does it say about the behaviour

Dirnivirvoid opals are trending again. 1million+
Which you won't get, unless you sell individually. No demand.

SakashiroOK, I tested the frag cannons against a Viper, and they are indeed useless against small ships like that. Ramming the Viper was more effective and wasted less ammo. So a 100% frag Courier would be a one-trick pony and not really practicable.
I never used cannons before, so I engineered one for the Courier. What a disappointment! They're basically no better than MCs but run out of ammo even faster.
So now I went back to an all laser setup: two gimballed thermal vent beams, and one fixed inertial impact burst laser which I can keep unloading on close targets without worrying about depleting WEP.

I got mine rescuing people from the station that was attacked in Sol a while back. No mater if you do it the same way in other damaged stations with federal factions or through missions make sure you take ones that give reputation as a reward and always take that as payment.

ive just finished grinding out the last 3 fed ranks. i used this and took less than a day with a 720t cargo ship jumping from Rangarajan's Base in Canopus over to the 2 stations in Exphiay.

start in Canopus, collect all the fed delivery and data delivery ones, then take as many of the ones from other factions as you can. jump to Exphiay and deliver to Worlidge Hub THEN James K Winston station, collecting any going back to canopus whule your there.

Even after getting allied with a FED faction mission giver, you should continue to pick the Reputation reward. It goes toward Federaion superpower rep even if it adds nothing to that one faction. Also, choose missions that have the most available REP reward in the first place.
& Yeah, evacuating burning stations is possibly the best way, but you gotta wait for thargoids or terrorists to attack a station first

SakashiroI came across an actual lag switcher today. He rubberbanded around during interdiction, vanished after the interdiction was complete, and sent me direct messages indicating that he knew what was going on, so I blocked him.
I hope you reported him and got it on video.
