"Incoming Message" What message?

[Yosharian]

Hi, I've just started getting my feet wet with the game (B-rated Viper III, 3 million in the bank, friendly with Federation) and suddenly I'm getting INCOMING MESSAGE INCOMING MESSAGE.

Just a few minutes ago I was INSIDE A TERMINAL and I got like 2-3 of them at once. Just as I was handing in my bounties, actually.

I don't see any place to see these 'messages' and they don't appear to be on my message log, just the standard docking messages in there.

What gives?

scroll across to the right in the comms window. I think (note the word think) they appear behind an envelope icon.

Also make sure if you are in a station you are at the screen that shows ('station stuff/enter hanger/launch') otherwise the screen that has the messages is not available. Most likely the messages are your status with minor factions changed due to handing in stuff.

If it happens when you hand in bounties, it's a note that you have risen in reputation with some of the factions at the station.

This is a stupid message as it duplicates what is already right in front of you.
FD SORT THIS OUT!
PLUS remove the daft black bar on the loading screen to Mission Boards - horrible!

Lmao ok I feel dumb now

I hadn't realised there were tabs on the message screen.

Thanks for the help guys.
