Not so sure about the 10% penalty for selling modules though.... Still to confirm this

All I can say right now is this issue is now irrelevant to me. From what the VR users are saying, VR is basically broken. That's all that matters.

I hate to sound like a snob but if VR is broken and no longer supported, I will not be playing this game anymore. I've only played it in VR from day 1, and I'm used to it. It's 90% of the reason I play - it was so awesome.

Anyway, here's hoping that they will fix the VR issues. I'll try and stay optimistic.

I just got to Lembava to see how my standings with Li Yong-Rui will change when selling the data for this Power (Sirius Corp) which will grant 200% profit for selling explorer data when you reach this Powers highest rakn.

Nope, I don't get any rep for the Power itself for selling exploration data. To gain ranks within the Power you have to do exactly what is defined (shipping stuff and things like that). So to get the 200% profit for selling explorer data, you can't go exploring... You will loose standing as time goes by and you need to do other stuff to get the perk back just to loose it again while you are out exploring.

I was unable to sell explorer data when I tried earlier.

I'm liking the Diamondback so far, at least as a combat ship and runabout - I will take it on a spin out to the Pleiades tomorrow.
Fast, bags of power, great view, decent jump, good hardpoints, very nippy in and out of supercruise so good for exploring in-system. Fuel scoop is only an A3, which is the much-publicised drawback; I'll test it in practice.

This is a very good point and I have started a thread specifically asking about it, here's a cheeky link https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=148609&p=2288640#post2288640
