N00b Week :(

So, I've been spending the week working on Engineers. Started OK with Felicity Farseer, and Elvira Martuuk - How did I ever play without a G5 FSD!

...Then the (N00b) problems started.

Needed a permit for Sirius to get Marco Qwent OK, build reputation with Sirius Corporation... 24 Hours later - Still says locked? OK, so I'm allied with Sirius, and I'm sure I got a message about the permit? ...Seems you need to actually go to Sirius to get the invite - DOH! :mad:

OK, he's unlocked Need mats to grind the blueprint. Land on planet with SRV and start looking for mats I need - Eh? Where's the scanner gone? ... It seems the Scorpion doesn't have one - DOH! Go back and get Scarab. :mad:

OK, Got mats, but need some components. Land at crashed ship, Lots of mats and components :) Hmmm Scarab only has 4T capacity, Scorpion has 8T, OK, not a problem, I'll do multiple runs. ... Didn't fit a cargo rack to DBX :mad: Go back and get ASP X

...Then a miracle occurred - I discovered (Well read) about the material trader :) I only get to play about an hour a day during the week, so spend my time farming at Dav's Hope. Lot's of high level components, so easy to trade down to get what I need :)

Let's hope next week is a little less N00b ish!
