Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh help please guys :mad:

I have been visiting and doing loads of missions at Federal Stations and I still have not got a SOL Permit. I have the Beta Hydri Permit, the PLX one and the Ross one but still no damned SOL one....Am I missing something obvious?

Edit:

My rank is Warrant Officer... Surely that should be enough?

Your rank is more than enough, I got my Achenar permit at rank 3 with the Empire while I was neutral. I believe it's just completely random, heard many people having the same issue not being able to get it. I think sub-faction stations (that're with the Federation ofc) you're friendly with will give a much better chance at offering you the permit though.

Where does it shows your permits? I think I got the Sol one as an early backer.
 
I have the Achenar permit now but I keep seeing the mission for it appearing in the 'not available' section at the bottom of the BBS. Is this normal or is it going to block my progression?
 
I don't see an option to show only high tech systems?? :(

There are some drop down menus listing things like government etc. Pick Economy then put a tick in the High Tech box and leave rest unticked. This is also a good way of working out some trade routes like refinery>high tech etc. Just pick the stuff you want to show. :)

It's just a bug, I have the same and still get rank missions (when they bloody decide to show up).
 
Find a Federation outpost to go to, they don't generally have security ships stationed outside. Pay your fine with the local authorities once you get there and you should be good to go.

edit: make sure it's not an independent outpost in a Federation system, the outpost will have to be run by the Feds if you want to pay your fine.

Thanks.. I don't have any fines that I owe Just says I'm hostile in rep page on right hand panel
 
Got bored with the Cobra, so down graded to a Viper with better equipment. Went hunting pirates and was promptly totaled by an authority Anaconda. Insta-death. Bought the same ship with insurance, and went a hunting again. Knock at front door. Came back to find shields gone, hull at 67% thrusters inoperative and canopy breached. Managed to limp to local base in time and found that I had no shield generator??? Maybe I sold it whilst outfitting? dunno. don't think so. Anyway repaired and bought a C3 shield to replace 16t of cargo space. Keeping the basic discovery scanner and kill warrant scanner. Went hunting again and managed to scalp my first Anaconda. 79K reward. Happy again.
 
I got an Anaconda bounty the other day for the first time, but I have to admit the Feds did most of the hard work, I felt a bit guilty claiming it to be honest. I get why the original setup where you'd easily have your kills nicked was annoying, but I wonder if they've gone too far the other way now.
 
Despite my slight wtf earlier, had a much better night with the game tonight.

Everything was making a bit more sense, managed to tackle few more small tasks, and finally managed to track down a bounty.

As expected I was pretty much killed in one shot, which the other half was expecting me to be angry about, but for me it was mostly just about figuring things out, which I felt. I had much more success with tonight.

Am sure will have a few more moments of frustration, but it's clicking a bit more at least :)
 
Swapped to a type 6 for the cargo space and racked up about 13 mill cr. Now,grab a asp or carry on stacking up the money?

I'm facing a similar dilemma: got about 15M credits saved up for my Imperial Clipper so far, will need to double that if I want to purchase one with a few basic upgrades and still have credits left over for insurance and cargo.

Very tempted to blow my 15M on a fully pimped out Asp...
 
A bit of a Meh evening. I'd finally ground my way up to a million credits (not including a few upgrades to the Cobra). Decided to check out one of these "Seeking Luxuries" traders. Bought a hold-full of Performance Enhancers at the only place nearby that sells them, flew over, and they gave me basically what I paid for them. Bah.

Got interdicted by a Novice Python, so decided to make mincemeat of him. Had just lost my shields, but had him down to 3% hull, so got him in the multi-cannon sights, and he just boosted in suddenly and rammed me. Boom. Can't decide if that was an excellent tactic on his part, or crap AI..... Meh.
