Salmonea~~ but eerytime when I visit a bartender I dont see it and therefore I cant sell it. ~~
I'm not quite sure, they might be illegal in most systems. But try selling it to a bartender in an anarchy system, like Eurybia.

Alex Hoffmannyes this could be, several drugs like push, lazarus or biochemical stuff can´t be sold in every system to a bartender but in an anarchy system it is possible and they appear in the selling list at the bartender.
According to a comment in the wiki this is the case for smear campaigns as well. I usually stick to anarchy systems for on-foot materials anyway so I never noticed.

Tiffany YürAh, ok, sometimes NPCs just want to shoot someone down just because they have no cargo. All of you of course know this already, but I think it's rather good to keep this thing up. My policy of never submitting to an interdiction might need a revision. How far out of the Bubble the regular pirates come? Do I really have to find this out myself? Thinking of investing a few Sidewinders (with suicidal pilots) to check this.
Mainly this is to do with exploration builds, how far out should you do a dash back to a station. I see no point in exploring a system at least 350 lys from bubble with a regular exploration ship. Exploring nearer to Bubble is so dangerous you need to build a vessel capable of taking some hits or fight the idiot NPC demanding non-existent cargo. So a suicide squad of exploration sidewinders might be a choice. If you get interdicted while doing scans, carrying no cargo, just ram the npc and start over.
Most exploration ships can avoid interdiction easily, it just takes practice. My explorer doubles up as unarmed bubble transport, players may be able to interdict me, but not NPC's, at least not until months in the black leave my skills rusty.
I've met pirates a few hundred ly from the bubble when doing exploration-mining, but then only in rings, interest in my "big haul" was only a few jumps from habitation.
I suggest finding a friendly player or squadron near you to play interdiction tag with.

KurakilDuring one of my relog sessions... I mean material gathering sessions... I had to wait for a 150 sec timer to select a game mode. It has only happened once so far but it does make me a bit nervous. As if things didn't already take long enough.
during my data collection session last night i fall to sleep and as i awaked my ship was destroyed
damm not again, not the first time.. next time i should hear when the bed is calling me..Last edit: 25 Apr 2022, 10:37am

This was probably because your carrier was mid jump. It tells you the reason in the button texts.

I'm going to first check if you can do fss while having a bit of speed. Usually I haven't got problems evading interdictions, avoiding them alltogether would be nice... seen the high-wake escape advice, going (very slowly) out with a sidewinder to find out if it actually works. Have had an npc follow me through a high wake, so jumping twice as fast as I can is pretty regular for me if I really want to lose the bastard wanting 2 tns of mid-tier trade items. Of course you can't scan the systems doing that, which is pretty much why I asked the range of NPC assholes. Seriously considering sitting outside a station to gank some NPCs as some of the system police forces are pretty much useless in scanning wanted npcs outsiders stations.

Tiffany YürI'm going to first check if you can do fss while having a bit of speed.Hm. As far as I know, and from my experience, NPCs are having trouble with starting an interdiction if your speed are minimal 30 km/s in the places with a low gravity interference, where even the slightest touch of an acceleration button can make you fly times faster. For many times I've seen them running circles around me, trying to get onto a needed vector, without any success.
p.s. hah, lucky little bastards, I had a 'standard' combat loadout those times, not AX one, making me angry wasn't a good idea.

And how do you gather materials via re-logging while docked on a carrier?
I don't think that was the case here.25 Apr 2022, 4:50pm

Did I say anything about being docked to the carrier?

Thanks Meowers, will try to go further out of the star in the future. I don't really want a master NPC in a Corvette dropping on the (almost) defenceless DBX again. In fact this might cause me to drop exploring altogether, it's anyway a only one way to play. It would be nice if the player could switch ships magically cross thousands of light years to do a bit of trading or combat in the bubble and keep the fragile jumping machine far out. But this is not that game, in Elite you roleplay one commander at a time. I think the story of Yür Freight goes on a pause for a while, and someone else writes the story of a Sidewinder pilot.
