I'm having trouble getting my freighter to move between sectors (blue not yellow). I gave them a command to dock at Lonely Giant and it is currently is a neighboring sector but it just sits there.

Hmm, through a superhighway? Capital ships dont use the highways, they can travel very fast when moving between areas and such. Try giving the ship a manual command to move to the sector by calling up the pilot and selecting "new order" and then take me to... and then find the sector on the map and left click select it and then on the bottom click "select". See if it moves.

Have you made it to the part in the campaign where you are offered to buy shields from a mechanic? I can't seem to buy shields from her or sell the shields I already have.

I move the slider to sell shields, press ok, then the next screen shows them still in my inventory.

I can't even move the slider when buying shields. I'm guessing that's because my ship is maxed (2/2).

Save first, then try to make space selling something?

Actually buying a shield will replace a shield, but you should sell your shield first since then you can pick which shield gets replaced. You might be moving the slider the wrong way. It definitely works. Let me go check in game.

Ah, turns out I WAS moving the slider the wrong way when selling. Oops.

BUT I still can't buy the other shields, only the shields I just sold. Is there some incompatability with certain shields I'm not aware of?

I'm trying to buy either the Behemoth Mk2 or Dashing Shield MK2, while selling my previously installed Steady Shield MK1. Do I need to have the MK1 versions first or something?

Something tells me I'm missing something basic, like the slider thing lol.

Do you have enough money to afford them? They are quite expensive. The numbers may seem confusing because it might say something like 30,000k (which actually is like 3 million or something haha)

Didnt for me. Sliders was locked, selling shields didnt help. I didnt pick up any random ware, i think its the most stupidest thing ever to be able to pickup loot everywhere in stations and ships. (and they are a pain to sell, too)

Can I accept jobs from my ship or do I have to be station/ship side?

There is no limit of space for upgrades, you can have 2 shields, you can have 1 of each of the weapon types and 1 engine, and 1 scanner.

You can accept jobs from your ship, you do not accept jobs on stations. Just fly up to one of the job icons and accept the job.

You are doing something wrong or can't afford it or something. Are you playing Campaign or Free mode?

Can one play without actually leaving the ship? When I must leave the ship and deal with NPC?

Hope there will be a mod that allows avoiding all FPS experience :/

In free play where can I find missions? All I find are trading missions and the rare combat one.

Glad to know I'm not the only one having this issue. Not sure if newly bought shields replace older ones since I haven't been able to buy new ones yet.

can you give step-by-step instructions for this. I've tried accepting my first mission I can view the reward and the details, but nowhere is there to accept anything.

I just went to a mechanic and was able to both SELL my shields and buy them back so it is working.
