Why? How should I avoid this kind of bug? And, more important, is this a bug or some funcionality

Aleksander MajjamEveryone...
Please console me.
I have come down with Cutter regret.

I have a good deal of time in all the big ships. I honestly love the Cutter. So much so that I own 4 of them. 1 that is my primary/heavy combat ship, 1 for hauling, 1 for mining, and 1 that I haven't decided what to do with yet. Now I fly with a full HOTAS setup (stick, throttle, rudder pedals) and I personally don't have issue flying the behemoth around. I don't know what your setup is so that could make a difference. But there's nothing wrong with the Cutter. It is an outstanding jack-of-all trades ship. I'm not sure why Pahl said to never use the Advanced Docking Computer with it but I use one frequently without much issue. That being said I get the impression that FDev didn't make the docking computers take engineering into consideration when you engineer your thrusters for higher performance. When docking at carriers it seems to keep needing to correct itself and ends up overcorrecting a lot.

It's a great combat ship. One good pass usually demolishes other ships. I'm just used to less drift and tighter turns. Also, I almost exclusively use a docking computer with it. And I'm lazy enough for assisted supercruise.
Auto-docking has never been an issue unless I put myself in that position first.19 Jul 2022, 6:42am

I will admit that the Corvette is a better dedicated PvE ship so if you have the credits, I do recommend it. But if I have to pick 1, it's the Cutter for it's better versatility. Also if I know I'm going into an area where I'll probably get attacked by players, I'd rather be in my Cutter for the stupidly strong shielding.

Mac4Folks, regarding this ongoing Crime Syndicate CG at Andowatye: I've turned in a couple of handfuls of bounties there by now, and nothing ever seems to register. Is that mission bugged, or what can I be overlooking? Is it Red Family ships specifically we need to hunt down? But how do you find those?
... Hmm. To hopefully answer my own question, these Frontier forum threads suggest looking for missions by United Andowatye Democrats specifically, and/or for missions from nearby systems to hunt down targets in Andowatye. I'll get cracking on that and see if it resolves the issue. It may well explain why the CG isn't even at tier 1 yet, other than people being obviously more involved with the Thargoid stuff, of course. (There's also mention of targeting e.g. the Purple Mafia specifically, but if there's some lore connection there it escapes me as a newbie.)

First, and most obvious to get out the way, you have visited Bosch Station and signed up for the CG?
The text expressly states - "the United Andowatye Democrats, has placed bounties on all wanted ships in this system.", so yeah shoot any wanted ship for the bounty.
You can visit nearby systems, such as Kholo, Sedia, Lengia etc. and pick up pirate missions from each faction so long as the targets are based in Andowatye. This way they stack and can make your CG more profitable.
However - and this is the real kicker - there is no RES, CNB or other pirate hangout in the Andowatye system, so you'll need to hunt down mission signals which can be a royal pain in the butt. This is why the CG is so under-represented. (That and the little thargoid issue over in HIP22460)

Yeah, to wrap this up, I bwahaha managed to simply rack up a bunch of kills at the Andowatye nav beacon just now. Case resolved
I'm guessing it's been populated with targets since people were having such a hard time at it, reports before had it targets at the nav beacon were scarce if not non-existent. (I can't recall now if I had or hadn't tried there before. Fairly obvious choice you'd think, huh.) The bounties I cashed in btw had indeed been issued by the elusive United Andowatye Democrats, who otherwise according to Inara and EDBB appear to be non-existent
Something going over my head there, no doubt.Anyhooz, ta. Over to my next homework assignment. It's not possible to import your existing ship layout into your crafting list here, is it? Now that would be convenient
Will be copying by hand then. A thing is it's hard to tell if a given engineering tier has been completed, without visiting the engineers in question.Last edit: 19 Jul 2022, 2:26pm

Jackalgas100Has anyone turned a ship that was outfitted or made into something else in terms of specifications for said ships? Here's mine, I once turned a keelback into a bounty hunter ship and worked quite well with a fighter. For me atleast
I once flew a Sidewinder to Colonia and Sagittarius A*, and an Imperial Courier to Beagle Point and Salomé's Reach.

For me atleastExploration FDL, cargo FDL, emergency rescue FDL, carrier-refuelling FDL, dropship FDL, and AX FDL now. Having just one ship is a funny and old-school way to play.
(other ships I have now are bought just for making screenshots, the most expensive stuff that I put on them is an 'AX imitation loadout')

Type 9 into a racing ship ? XD
