Time to sell and trade stuff to make room!
 
Hi and thanks again for you advice on the low wake thingy. Actually I managed it for the first time last night, no idea why it worked, but i only observed the speed an distance bars untol distance in the blue, and surprise, the drop out message appeared! Now, one thing I must say however, I do not have a sec counter at all! The low wake appears, I traget it and it shows as a smaller than, greater than bracket < > end besides it the distance remaining for example < >12.3ls but there is no seconds counter. No idea about that, but at least I could manage to sneak in now. Thanks!
 
It's like a rite of passage, the first time you get that message and realize you have to micromanage your inventory in Odyssey, a big step backwards from Horizons I think.
Yes. It treminds of those old RPG's where your inventory got full quickly and you had to manage it - aloing with keeping the weight down.

I'm now en route to an anarchy system to offline some of the more... dubious items I had squirreled away.

Just before I left, I encountered this poor chap. Not sue how he got there - probably trying to get away from the fires: he'd nearly made it to the venting control pad too...

Go back and check the other side. Does he have Ruby Slippers?
 
A word to the wise, though. Don't sell the stuff that can be traded -- trade the lower value stuff for higher value stuff first. You can always trade back down when you actually need a few of the lower tier items. There's a bit of a loss involved, but it doesn't matter. You eventually wind up with so much stuff you really have no choice but to trade most of it up.
 
I had about 100 Hush and Lazarus.

I had a peruse of Inara before I sold anything and also looked down the lists of items I could trade to the Dodgy bartender so I think I'm still OK.

If you have these kinds of problems, a screenshot is always helpful.

Hush, Lazarus, Push, Infinity, Personal Computers, Insight, Insight Data Suite. These were the ones which I have always remembered as pure fluff whose only use is to sell for credits.

I can never remember if Shareholder Data or Cocktail Recipes are needed for some obscure unlock.
 
Dumb question: Can I earn merit for power play in solo mode? Something I'm looking into other than engineer & guardian grind.
Yes. So far, all attempts by the "open only" crowd to create differences between the modes have met with no success. So the only difference between modes is what other ships you can encounter:
solo: NPCs only
private group: NPCs and other members of that group
open: NPCs and any other players you haven't blocked (that last one gets a bit complicated)

With respect to powerplay, that of course means you can't get any merits from killing enemy CMDRs, either - but since killing an enemy CMDR doesn't yield more merits than killing an enemy NPC (as far as I know, but it's been some time since I did powerplay), that's not a big loss.
