help required new changes yes all good but no instruction/tutorials. formed a squadron but how does it work no instructions what is a season a year a month a week a day no idea. done trade done 1 mapping of a moon(god knows how pure luck i guess) sold the info on done trade and a trade mission but neither was added to the squadron achievements. what am i supposed to do. all the exploration info i sold on in the past 11 months has gone that's over 2500 systems visited and mapped. maybe if i was 30 i could do it all again but i ain't i am past double that true grumpy old man. now pirates come in firing from behind immediately before you used to get a 10 second hand it over or else warning but not now. a cutter does not turn quick so the 10 seconds was helpful. but by the time i turn i have lost 10% to 20% of my shield can't trust the police/feds as they fire on you even if you haven't hit them but i haven't tested that since the update. just keeping report crimes turned off for now. at least they introduced a very old game hunt the thimble(fissured asteroid) three other commanders(friends) spent 2 hours searching for one before they found one that's 6 hours game play in total sorry but got better things to do with my time hunting a thimble is not one of them. there needs to be more of these asteroids in the field. any help gratefully received

I would suggest watching the Frontier tutorial videos online (They have a youtube page) Or watch a video from one of the many streamers.
No idea why it is taking you 2 hours to find an asteroid with a fissure. Am finding 1 every 10 mins on average. You can visually spot the fissures, perhaps stick to ice fields for now.

Regarding the Cutter, it is the fastest and most heavily shielded frieghter on the market, pirates should be a complete non issue. What is your build? Do you use PIP management?

The cutter is fully modified and can hold its own even against a Corvette the attacking ship was a conda modified hull down to 10% but still firing as if it is at 100% if it was us we would have malfunction after malfunction or blow up. i have noticed now they get really up close, close enough to share paintwork i have to go into reverse to have a clean shot. no idea what PIP management means sorry. too old school. the changes have confused me i will adapt but it will take time. as for the asteroids i personally have not looked for one mining is not my thing killing pirates and trading is. thank you for your suggestions
Hull integrity has nothing to do with module malfunctions. You need to get the powerplant down to zero, then output reverts to 40%. Please don't start with the NPC's are cheating nonsense, it has been confirmed on multiple occasions that they operate the same as us apart from a few minor things.
PIP management has been in the game from the beginning (4 years) Learning it is vital
Here's a link. Good luck Cmdr.

i am not saying they are cheating it just seems unfair. looking at image i now know what PIP management is i use it all the time it was the abbreviation that threw me. 4 on weapons 2 on systems 0 on engines in battle then 4 on systems and 2 left on weapons for repairing shields after battle. thanks
Fly safe Cmdr!
Me fly safe never lol
