Anyone having issues with repair button greyed out?
I figured it was the stations I was visiting, and the fact I was hostile, so quit allegiance, and tried again no difference.
Went back home to Shinrarta Deshra and still greyed out.
Any ideas?

Naw, they're doing it for a shedload of money...
Not for ShinDez, but a lot of the small stations (outposts and Odyssey ground bases) don't offer all three services. Especially rearm is scarce on non-military Odyssey settlements.
Other possibilities:
- ship is fully repaired
- you'll have to pay your fines/bounties first
- a bug or a missing connection to one of the servers
Have you tried switching it off and on again?
You could be right. He would have talked me into returning to the nearest station, grab some goods and return to him to leave them floating so he can pick them up...
But then again, I was in the Stargazer and chose to apply the "toothless chihuahua" manoeuvre before he could say any more than "Nothing?"...
This morning, I lost my SRV in a freak accident...
I was in one of the geological sites of Suhte 9A, a little moon orbiting a ringed gas giant.
This site had some periodic geysers that would blow stuff out in varying amounts of force. This would range from a nice small water fountain over bigger fountains to a quite violent steam jet. I saw one of those steam jets on a geyser a hundred meters or so away and drove over there quite quickly in order to take a photo.
What I did not realize, was that I went across a barely visible fumarole, a mere hole in the ground. And, unbeknownst to me, this was an active one, also. And in the moment I passed over it, it blew a giant, very violent steam jet. Launching me up into the non-existant air, so high that my nearby parked ship automatically took off. I was so baffled from what just happened that I was unable to take any pictures or attempt to do any kind of recording (still having found not time to figure out OBS did not help, either...). I just sat there in awe and confusion about what just had happened. As I managed to collect myself again, I noticed that Gravity looked at my SRV with quite a stern look on their face and I heard a faint whistle (Not sure where that came from, but I guess it was the SRV's sound system trying to tell me that it did not like what was happening.). I tried to soften the landing by activating the thrusters, but to no avail, probably due to coming down very fast at a steep wall. Albeit landing on my wheels, the SRV crunched down so hard that it suffered critical damage and hitting the ground at an awkward angle sent me tumbling through the air, eventually crashing down on the canopy. Then everything went black. Next I remember is opening my eyes in the seat of my ship somewhere above that moon. I checked if it had been a dream, but the SRV was gone, so I headed to the nearest station to get a new one. And a fresh set of underwear. And a fresh suit. And a drink.

npc pirate mission stacking, they took me out once so i came back with revenge in mind. so, i brought the anaconda to say a huge hello Boys, no one takes out my vulture like that!!!! NO ONE>>>>>.ramming me is obtuse to say the least.
That happened to me, now I carry two in my Anaconda. I was doing the Guardian grind for the FSD booster in my Krait Mark II and didn't park it close enough for the missile defense system to engage the skimmer missiles and had the SRV destroyed and I was killed. I had to go back to the bubble to buy another so now I have a dual bay SRV setup.

That's pretty cool, your somebody now. Like the movie "The Jerk" with Steve Martin, "Hey, the new phone book is here, I'm somebody now".
Hmm, figuring what paint should i put on the Scorpion... That PA on top.... why it looks almost the same as a size 3 CF-377 Laser repeater in "the other competing le"???
Remember there is some variation In the planets we find and the ones I have been finding I would say some sort of Stratum is only on one planet in four and until recently that Stratum has been one of the cheaper versions.
As @Zieman says the price could be down to what it can be used for which unfortunately we don’t know.
Somebody seems to have an inflated idea of his worth, did he put the bounty on himself?
And even more in between them.
I continue to top up the Carrier's cargo with Tritium in view of my next exploration trip, I'd like to reach the Arcadian Stram this time, but also, I bought yet another Python and compared my experience with the Anaconda and Cutter passenger missions from CEOS, starting from Robigo.
Interesting thing: You initialy can make more money than with a 9 cabins Conda but after 3 missions, the number of passengers available lowers, from CEOS I never had to do the trip with unoccupied cabins and I saw reewards as high as 12 million, although they are rarer than from Robigo.
In the long run, if you want to do a dozen rotations in a row as I did to pay for my Carrier, the CEOS missions end up paying more...

I am not sure that the bit I have put in italics is in the right order, the drinks seem far to far down the list.
Midnight Black (when available), or you could go for the inocurous look and pick something flowery or pastel, or as it has an extra seat you could paint it as a taxi.Hmm, figuring what paint should i put on the Scorpion...

This discussion died out back then, and i was just reading through the topic and it made me wondering and go dig my logs (sorry for raising again, but maybe of use to someone).Interesting. I thought I could get EDDiscovery to search the journals for me, but I can't figure it out. I also tried just searching through the journals with windows search, but it just gives me all the files that have "wasdiscovered":false in them, and no way to tell what they were (and there's tons of them).
So I dunno how to do this
So, apparently, Elite writes in it's journal the line Already Discovered or Already Mapped (if it's a planet and was mapped) for any scanned planet, or a star, that was already discovered. And not - if you're first to come. So basically you need to filter the ones without that line.
Then another way is to look at Values - Current, First Discovered, Mapped, for ELW it's about 4m for First Discovered and mapped (e. g. you filter all ELW scans and look for big numbers). EDDiscovery can export to CSV so that the search could be done in Excel. Can sound long, but if you just need to locate smth it's a tool.
Argh... Taxi~!! Nice idea
