Indeed, I was being a herp.
yeah im refering to Human players, not NPC......they have Commander in front of their names right? (they also show up as a hollow yellow square on your radar.)
Because there are loads of them in the system im in at the moment....hogging up the docking ports
When I get home tonight ill post it....as I cant quite remember it off the top of my head.
Edit: found it - Ngaliba System - Nordenskiod Relay and Kingsmill Settlement

How do you find the next waypoint in a series of jumps, or a destination station you've targeted? I usually end up spinning my ship around until it shows up in front of me, but there's surely a more straightforward way?
Just to the left of your Radar, is a small targetting retecule with a blue dot in the centre......you have to line the blue dot up into the centre.....if the blue dot is hollow then you are facing the wrong way.....as you move the solid blue dot into the middle, the target will come into view as well.
There's a little mini way point compass to the left of your main sensor display, it should show your next jump or current celestial body targeted with a hollow blue or filled in blue circle. Align this circle with the crosshair and you're golden.

One other thing to bear in mind on the scanner, a square means hardpoints retracted, triangle means deployed so you can use that as an indicator of the stance of a given ship.
Cheers, will give that a go. Gotta love a game that just throws you in the deep end like this. It has been a while.
I think it's bugged. I have to cancel docking and try again for it to come up.
Anyone got a suggestion for finding stations with grain? I go to LHS 3447 as others say that's where it's imported from. Yet nothing.
Also, I'm outgrowing my Eagle pretty quickly. I was thinking of the adder but it seems to be a bit of a slug compared and I'm certainty more. Focused on the fighting side of the game. So what ship should I aim for?
I've only just ticked over 150k credits. With a further 20k to collect. Should I just buy more powerful modules or keep saving for a ship?

Viper/Cobra then Asp, then Python.
The viper is a far better lone Wolf fighter than the Eagle, compared to the Eagle you can outgun more ships and outrun all ships, while being able to take a lot more damage. The Eagle is lovely to fly but unfortunately it sacrifices too much strength for the agility you gain for it to be an effective lone Wolf ship. An extra hardpoint, heavier ones at that, more internal module space and higher class module slots so you can fit better parts. Mine is much quicker at killing wanted ships for bounty than my Eagle was yet has room for 8 cargo and a fuel scoop to prevent getting stranded/save time and money on refuelling. While I'm at that actually... The viper is seriously expensive on fuel. It's actually a bit crazy.
It's the perfect upgrade from the Eagle in my opinion, just remember that while the Eagle may be fun to fly (you will miss it) , it's the equivalent of a go kart. Fun for what it is, but it isn't something to stay in forever.
As for the Cobra... I'm beginning to think that it's an even better lone Wolf ship than the viper. Vipers used to be a little better handling, but now they aren't much better than a Cobra at all and with gimballed weapons a Cobra can match a viper on all but exceptional circumstances from the sound of it. From reading/playing it seems that the viper is suited slightly more to fighting in packs than the Cobra, which is more suited to lone pilots.

Cool, the viper it is then.
Im still struggling to find grain! Flying all over the place. Makes no sense. Is there a 'simple' approach to it?
Also! In Worlridge (spelling?). I had a mission to pick up none lethal weapons for the navy. The reward was ranking. However, it was a 16x jump with a refuel in the middle to the nearest destination that the market said has these to sell and I had 16 minutes to do it in... So I had to abandon
They really need to simplify the market. It makes no sense.

Trading is a little weird. I just don't bother with it, it seems like the most boring thing in the world anyway. Much prefer selling stolen stuff on the black market. 100% profit
As for the reputation missions for goods, you often find them at stations where you can buy the goods they're looking for. Easy rep
