Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

I like a warm ship however weapon heat generated appears to have gone through the roof!

Probably just a last-second change and due to lack of sleep they were off a decimal point.

Use Ship transfer to move the Clipper but the paint work did not arrive with it, same for the Cobra III Kit.

First impressions after 10 minutes

- I thought we could now cash in our bounties from anywhere. Nope. Still have to fly to all the places individually.
- Mission board opened on first try, and without any error messages. A massive improvement. I hope it stays that way.
- Mission board now has a filter. I would not have put "Assassinate pirate lord" mission to illegal section. Well.. it is an assassination.. but a pirate lord, so it's fine in my books. It also could have more options in it, like mining missions, and move trade mission (supply x units of y to z) to their own category.
- The station I'm in now has a lot of green haired people offering missions. This might be explained by the fact that the whole station has a very toxic looking green air in it, which seems strange for an agricultural station. Maybe they are growing something else than potatoes then.
- Have stations had music in them before? Can't remember, somehow that just feels like a new thing.

Probably charge you extra and add another time sink on to the paint delivery ..

Bit of a warning when it comes to the Beluga: NPCs will not respect your personal space when you're trying to enter the mail slot. Usually NPC ships will move/give you space when you are trying to maneuver past them, but I've had 3 scenarios where they wouldn't give a damn about the width of the Beluga. I had a T7 push past and overtake me in the toaster rack, a cobra mk3 graze my nose when I was pulling a sharp turn, and an adder blow past me when I was on approach to the slot.

Go to a low security system to find your contact.

Went to low sec system, landed on a planet as there were no stations with L pads. Still no bounties, excluding for the one wannabe pirate I shot down on my way to the planet.

Not until I took a look at the release notes.
" - Added a factor contact for universal fines, bonds and bounties handling - found in low security systems"

After that I found that "Interstellar factors contact" who is willing to pay up. But the bastard takes a 25% cut for himself. And also kindly notified that I have 731,008 cr worth of legacy fines. Though with a +25% fee again.

Is there another way to get rid of legacy fines? A cheaper way like suisidewinder.

No more heat warning at 80%, so do not rely on your ships computer telling you that from now on.

Yep, use the IFC to find all the factions, then goto the system and have the police scan you. Then it will activate the legacy fine and they will kill you and on the rebuy screen you will see the fine there and it will be cleared when you rebuy. Rinse and repeat for all the places you have fines.

Will it be cheaper? Depends. You will have to rebuy the Sidewinder for each system and take all the time to go to all the systems. How much is your time worth? Mine is worth a hell of a lot more than 25%.

They take that even for cashing in bounties. I am not gonna fly 250K ls to cash in that 400 credits, so this is worth it. Am I gonna fly all the way to all these systems to pay off my fines? Nope. You have to decide if it is worth the risk to not pay them (400 credit bad flying fine at Jaques? Nah, no idea when or if I will be back). So its all up to you.
