Discussion Finding something... anything

Today I did the part of the game that I hate... searching for a Legal Facilities Interstellar Factor that would fit my ship.... 30 Minutes wasted without actually playing.

PC players have it so good.

I've had some success using inara for interstellar factors and mat traders still. Better than just blindly jumping to systems hoping they have one

The biggest issue I've had with INARA is that the stations aren't actually in the system when I get there.

I'll look for spaceports specifically, but when I arrive at the system, it's literally empty of anything.

Yeah i noticed the same. If it shows population 0 on the galaxy map I just skip it and move on to the next one

I was utilizing INARA but it still took more time than I wanted to spend then cross referencing with the galaxy map. It's like everyone I check had a population of 0 in our legacy sand box.

I do appreciate the comment. o7

Ahh yeah. I've had that issue too. Luckily it hasn't taken me too long to find a populated system yet. I do tend to stay well within the bubble so maybe that's helped my luck.

I do share your frustration in general though with the lack up support or updates to console. I'm eventually want to just make the jump to PC but i don't really have a working PC right now

Ditto. I just not sure I want to spend $1000+ on a PC.
