Where do you check the status of construction for bought ships?

I just placed an order for a ship...the time indicated was 02:00, so assume 2 hours?

But where on earth can i see what the status is of my order? are they waiting for parts? are they building?

I can't figure out how to use the Long Range Scanner. Any advice? I Shift + 3 and when I hit R my gun shoots but I dunno how to remap the Long Range Scanner button. Plus I can't figure out how to do the Long Range Scan because the tutorial wasn't very clear or helpful.

I found a suitcase icon near a station on my map, but I can't seem to find it visually to interact with it; where is that little bugger hiding???

Uh I think if Defaults to "R". Hold down the button and release, but dont realise it too early or too late cause if you do it wont do anything.

Thats a mission. Right click on it in your map to get the details

Using the secondary fire when in long range scan mode seems to make it work, but you have to hold the button for about 1-2 seconds or else it doesn't fire off.

Perhaps I didn't explain well sorry: Yes it is R but for some reason when I hit R my guns also fire while it also does the long range scan. I can't seem to find where the long range scan is in keymapping to remap it to some other button.

As for the timing of release I find it a bit annoying because does it mean I need to count 2-3 seconds in my head and then release? And even so how do I know if it is successful or not?

Cheers for the help.

I'll have to see what my secondary fire is mapped to but I'll keep trying and hopefully if I find out how it works I'll update haha.

Thanks.

Oh I see

And Yeah Counting to 2 works. Its very noticable when it works as a Giant bright Blue pulse shoots out around your ship like the Seismic Charge from Episode 2 but on steriods.

Is it possible to find Pilots? If so, where?

[The Cuban Nightmare]

I just got my hands on a ship with a hangar module and I was curious to see if I can have the fighter stored internally. Does anyone know how to order a fighter to be stored inside the hangar rather than on the landing pad?

If you mean crew to fly your ships then just dock at any static n and talk to the people there sranding arou d the landing platform. Something to note is that when you get to the menu to hire them you have to right click on the ship you want them on and then click select.

I encountered a transmission that put me in contact with a Boron who sent me on a scientific mission, but I got side tracked doing other things and don't know how to get back on track with the thread. Where do I find the details of the mission to get going on it again? I went into the "Missions" tab but it just tells me that I have no missions...

Open your map, on the left, there should be a "mission manager" tab. Switch to it and you can find all your active mission in there and switch which navigation for which mission to use, like in X3TC.

They're never pilots though, I've been looking for an hour... Theres only engineers.

Just discovered this tonight...

How to fly like Elite Dangerous where left and right roll the ship?

Bind a key to "Toggle Steering Axis". This setting is unbound by default.

I must be doing something wrong then as every time after 2-3 seconds of charging then releasing I don't see any blue pulse or anything. Only hear some sound effects and that's it.

How can i take control of an abandoned M cargo ship if there are no anomalies to scan near the entrance?!

I posted on the Steam forums but have had no responses so thought I would I ask the community here.

1. Anyone having issues logging into the Online Services while in game? I am unable to access my Egosoft account from the game. I just get "There was an error while logging in" but I am sure both my login and p-word are correct.

2. Whenever I enter the map that Flight Assist goes off, is there a way to stop this? Can we get up from our seat when traveling fast? Is there a keybinding I missed also for it?

3. Spacesuits. Having played Hellion I find spacesuit flight frustrating right now, is the an auto-stabilize feature or any other QoL tips anyone can share?

Thank you in advance for any and all replies and tips.
