Chapter 4 - Questions

[SManZ350]

I've played Chapter 4 for about two hours now and really enjoying the new experience. I have a few questions that I'm having trouble figuring out;

-Can I be interdicted by an NPC while in FSS? I play in Solo.

-There is a highlighted clock icon in the comms panel on the upper left but it is not selectable as a tab. What is this and can I turn it off?

-Has anybody else experienced nonresponsive ship controls after dropping out of supercruise? I'm on console and the start button still accesses the main menu so I can exit and restart when this happens, if I haven't dropped into combat. All other game controls do not work and throttle is set to zero when this bug happens.

-During bounty hunting missions, if I honk when entering the system will the target always appear as a selectable mission target in the navigation panel?

-Are there lots of new installations and other points of interest in systems now or is it just in the four I e been messing around in? I'm around HIP 53634.

The clock icon is the history tab which lists real players you've come into contact with. If you only play in solo, it probably hasn't populated. Don't think you can turn it off.

- Technically yes (have not experienced it myself), but you should have enough time to increase speed to fight it or as suggested in other threads approach the main star and face away so every NPC trying to interdict you will fly into the star.
- I think you mean the list of previous contacts, if you play in a mode and meet other Cmdrs (cqc, private group, open) they will be listed there so you have a chance to contact them, friend or block them later.
-Can't say that I have
-Not sure about bounty hunting missions, but random trading beacons are revealed that moment they are generated (with their highlighted target color)
-Yes there are a lot more things to find than yesterday.

Yes

No - sometimes you need to find it in the FSS, or maybe other places.

-Are there lots of new installations and other points of interest in systems now or is it just in the four I e been messing around in? I'm around HIP 53634.

Yes

If you scan nav beacon all USS and mission USS will appear in left hand panel when you reenter supercruise.

A great way to find high encoded USS, and not waist USS timer time finding others

I was interdicted earlier today while in FSS. I just hit full throttle and managed the escape vector successfully, then went back to scanning.
