1) do not F1 in space

3) better to pay pirate than to get shot (unless too much cash) . Use /givecash (name) (amount)
hiring escorts helps.
4) learn to quick dock
5) learn to turret steer
6) we ha e our map of disco on forums if you wana use it
7) get FLStat and/or Freelancer Companion 2.something for finding trade routes
8) learn the rules of Sirius as best you can ( found in the communications section of forums)
9) have fun! ( I might be forgetting some things but meh)
Using Disco terms/slang is /barely/ helpful, Nomnomnom.
Thank you all for the replies. I have been following advice and just purchased a Transport from the station. This has caused a major issue as now I can't seem to mount the id to the new ship.
In the station I go into my inventory, mount it, then exit my inventory. When I open it back up, it is unmounted. In fact, any changes I make are instantly reset. This goes for weapon group assignments as well. Every time I dock, my assignments got wiped. My initial thoughts are that this has to do with Windows 10 and it's stupid permission crap, but other settings I change (audio, etc) do stick. So I am at a dead end as far as troubleshooting this goes. Has anyone had this come up before? My searches are leading me nowhere.
Hello there A little bit of shameless self promo first, [FL-ER] is unnoficial freelancer group with a lot of trade going on there
I have no idea what the problem with your ID is, perhaps try to mount while you have the weapon shop window opened. Or the ship purchase one... There is one standart rule regarding to the ID when you are purchasing a ship and that is - before you buy the ship, make sure you go to the correct equipement tab, transfer the ID to your new ship and mount it. However, dunno if that would help in your case.
Weapon groups.... the only thing that comes to my mind... are you docking with the first weapon group selected? Cause if you are not, than it's know to mess up the weapon groups.
If your changes to ship loadout get reverted when you do it through inventory, go to a base's weapon vendor and make those changes there. That way it saves properly.
