i Sola Prospect in Brestla System - does it exist?

Frankymole · Feb 17, 2016

The new patch is described as having "i Sola Prospect in the Brestla star system now always stocks all ships and modules".

Okay, I am at Brestla. Where is this "i Sola Prospect"? There are a load of moons called "crime sweep". But nothing resembling a station or depot called "I Sola Prospect".

Am I being dumb? Where is it?

It's on a planet.
Pull up your system map, and check the settlements tab.

Do you have Horizons?
If not, you can't access it, as it's a surface port.

Thanks Commanders! I thought as much. I do have Horizons. I didn't even know about the Settlements tab! Thanks again for the steer.

"All ships and modules" comes with a price.

TiberiusMaximus · Feb 17, 2016

fair enough, the 20% rise makes sense and I usually like complaining about Elite.

I checked i Sola Prospect in Brestla system wasn't exist. Then I realized I was running the 32 Bit version of vanilla ED. Switched to Horizons and I can see it.

But.. will I still be able to sell modules at the same price I bought them?
Or am I loosing money by buying at i Sola Prospect?

Modules always sell for the price you bought them, so you can't make or lose money on them. Ships will go for their original sale price minus 10%

Thaliesin · Feb 17, 2016

Still a good deal, then. Thank you!

Just be aware that your re-buy will reflect the additional cost

Not really, you always want to buy ships and modules at the lowest possible price to minimize hull sale losses and insurance premiums. I don't really see the point of a station stocking everything if it's 20% more expensive, when you can already find pretty much everything at 15% off in Diaguandri, Lembava, Kamito, etc.

I don't think this latest announcement is going to go down to well

Last month, the Imperial Inquisition launched a campaign to develop the outpost of i Sola Prospect on Brestla A1. The campaign was a resounding success, making i Sola Prospect the first planetary outpost to boast a complete range of services, including a comprehensive shipyard. But authorities in Brestla have now announced that they intend to increase the cost of services at the state-of-the-art facility – a decision that is sure to disappoint some sections of the galactic community.

"It costs a lot for manufacturers to ship such large payloads from their core systems", said a spokesperson, "and unfortunately some of these costs must be passed on to the consumer. We are therefore increasing the prices of all outfitting and shipyard services at i Sola Prospect by 20 per cent. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause."

The price increase will be implemented immediately.

I was there last night checking out modules and I think it's still bugged.
For example there were only two Planetary landing modules, I think C&D. Not that it really matters, and maybe only C&D are in-game right now. my 2p.

More will come with the newer model SRV's I'm sure.
