For me it was just retrying it until it worked. The first time it happened I freaked out a bit and was worried I'd be stuck or die. Then when I realized it wasn't really a big deal I just shrugged it off.

When my FSD fell under 95% one time, I suddenly got a rather serious FSD-malfunction. And no, I didn't jump. (It was just a normal jump, though. Can be if I had overcharged my FSD, the jump could have gone through still.) Instead of jumping, my ship was thrown around a bit and I fell out of supercruise. Since then I've made it a rule to repair my FSD as soon as it falls below 97%.

Just the sheer amount of error messages from stuff breaking as you sit in the cone in normal space is enough to throw anyone off their stride, even if in practice, it will take quite a while for the ship to actually explode…

Yesterday I suddenly realized I could combine my wish to travel faster and my wish to scan more stuff by switching to the Neutron Star Road and scanning the neutron star systems I come through. This way, I travel like 200% faster and scan lots of interesting stellar objects! The best part is: I still get plenty of normal systems to explore. Sometimes the next neutron star is either not in range, or sits not really on my general route. So in those cases I super-jump at the next best target and route to the next neutron star normally. In numbers, about 80% of my AFM-fuel will be used by the necessary AFM-repairs if I keep this up for the entire journey. Looks like I can soon test my first AFM-refuel synthesis.

I found this really neat neutron cluster, and my magpie instinct kicked in and told me to SCAN ALL THE SYSTEMS! Never mind that they're among the most consistent and boring systems I've come across and that due to the density of the cluster, I'll just do normal (or shorter!) jumps between each of them, and it'll take me an extra week to get to where I'm going rather than let me get there faster. But think of all those thousands of credits!

The gunner's 360 camera should be treated as a drone or limpet which can be targeted destroyed or disabled, Also they would need to refill and draw power from the generator.

There's some more lore updates about the Meta Drive research. Looks like it could be a way to interdict FSD-jumps is coming, or an autopilot, or both. Of course this newest news item could just be the juiciest red herring ever to leave the North Sea for all we know. I guess we'll have to wait until the "secret" of 2.4 to see that subplot resolved.

If it's going to happen, I would expect an autopilot around the time SpaceLegs go in so players can walk around their ship on longer trips.

Question about the community goal right now to turn in bounties in a specific system. Can I kill npcs for the bounties in a RES in any system and then fly to the CG system to turn them in? Or do the bounties have to be collected in that specific system? For contributions, is it counting the number of bounties or the actual bounty value? This seems like an easy one and I've never done a CG before. A single 30 minute passenger mission can make me 11mil sometimes, do CH's end up paying out well if you are just casually contributing?

CGs end up paying well, IMO Contributions are counting the value of the bounties, I'm sure. Also, there are plenty of RES sites nearby, and I think they're only counting which bounties are being accepted at that station. Other than superpower bounties, good luck getting any other systems' faction's bounties accepted there.

So if the gunner can control your SCBs, how many ships are we going to see melted by suicide crew on day one before most newbies figure out how to lock them out?

As long as it really takes to severely mess up a ship via overheating, I doubt it's that big of a deal. Yeah ok maybe you'll have an edge case where the thrusters or FSD were already damaged and whoops Ensign Chucklefuck spiked your heat to 200% and caused a malfunction at a critical moment. But maybe consider having fun with that instead of being a giant weeny.

If you really want to blow up someone's ship just open fire inside the station when they're almost docked.

I once fired 6 scb simultaneously. It took 2 heat sinks to get things back to normal but it didn't break my ship.
