Dude, thank you! This thread has some great tips and tricks that would have taken me days of gameplay longer to figure out, if at all! I don’t think I have whole lot that others haven’t already mentioned, but here’s what I’ve got to contribute, and I’ll be sure to edit this if o come up with more.

I think this might be a bug, but today I discovered a way around humping back out to Red Mile for more contraband scan jammers. (I don’t know if it’s important or not, but I was using the outpost landing pad w/ shipbuilder when I did this.) I found that if you clone the part of the ship that the jammer is attached to, it also clones the jammer. Then you can just separate the jammer to put elsewhere and delete the cloned piece. I wasn’t watching the math, but I think it still charges you the credits for the jammer, but does refund the price of the cloned piece when you delete it.

Shielded cargo is available for purchase from this shipbuilder as well, though you might need to have already bought at least one from a vendor to be able to access this. 🤷🏼‍♂️

If anyone has some tips and tricks specifically for outpost building, resource harvesting, cargo transferring, or crew management, I would love to hear those! I am bouncing back and forth between each of these so much that I feel like I am wasting 2/3rds of my time (and resources, and credits) on trial and error while I figure it all out.
