Tablet is now rooted!
How would you like to receive files? Would a Titanium Backup copy work?

These components are now more effective. And a good thing too -- yowie, I just went exploring in a brand new starter ship galtak, and ow ow ow did we get hurt! Problem playing on a friend's device set up for automatic updating. Apply caffeine, go read releasenotes ... so that's what happened ...

I have a various set of chargers. Some are faster than others. Alas, the part that needs soldering is not ammenable to being turned into a connector -- it is a place on the surge protection board that needs to get tweaked every time.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10 S5e (SM-T725) ordered. I already have a super fast volutz charger and super fast volutz usb c cables, so the charging on that thing is amazingly fast.

Well, after giving it more thought, yes, more detail to the summary would be good. And I know what my particular itch is. I like scheduling things. A whole lot. So what I was trying to duplicate was the Cyberknight experience. Sit at phone booth (or in your own luxury pad, phone equipped ) find a job you want to do, call up the other contacts and see if there is something they want done that makes sense to do at the same time, repeat until your job slots on your computer is full (or you run out of jobs you want to do), go off and do it, repeat. Now there is no way that the STF world is going to start sprouting V-chips for your favourite contacts, but it is still worth it to go visit all the contacts in a quad if you want to do something -- like pick up more spy-war missions while the spy-war is still active -- especially things that are time sensitive. But having to read the mission text of a mission you have already seen a zillion times before trying to pick out whether this is something you want to do or not is not fun for me. So what I would like as details on the summary is a set of pairs (Quadrant, Planet) or triples (Quadrant, Planet, Zone) involved in each proposed hop. That would make things much more fun for me. What do other people think? Grävling (who has lots of time for thinking now, as I wait for my new tablet to be delivered)

I feel that the total number of jumps is a big improvement. Suppose one job is 3 jumps away but requires dropping off two jumps beyond that. That is much more work than a job which is a one way trip three jumps away, no return required. Of course once there are unknown steps, the number of jumps is not possible to compute; but it will really help for known jobs. Interesting. I am usually working out of a home quadrant (where a contact I am trying to cultivate lives, or this is where I load up on all those crop harvesters, or what have you). Thus from my point of view a job that is six quads away -- pick up this person/thing and deliver it there, job done is much less attractive than a job that is go 3 quads away and pick something up and deliver it back to this quad. The fact that they both are six quad jumps doesn't matter at all to me -- the one-way sorts of jobs I pretty much only want to do if I am already going to that quad on some other business. (Of course, some days you get a contact who wants you to deliver several people or things to the same quad, which can pay for the deadheading back if there is enough of them.) I am trying to avoid deadheading, not work. I am finding that I have to read all the jobs now to find out if I want to do one, whereas before a significant number got culled unread -- 'There is nothing that begins 5 hops away I am interested it, because I can already tell it doesn't fit into my current job mix'.

I am on android 2.5.75 which I think is 170 Void Thunder.
From my point of view the hyperwarp calculations have not been so much fixed (as the change notes said) as radically changed.
Up until now, the number you got when you were offered a job was 'how far away is the first part of the job'. So go deliver the Arbiter to meet with Char was a 1 jump offering.
Now, the number seems to be 'how many jumps, minimum (because some jobs have unknown sections) in total, will you have to make'. So the same Arbiter delivery job is now a 2 jump offering -- one to go visit, and one to return to Faen court. (If the unknown middle bit wasn't in the same quadrant as the initial meeting, it could have turned out to be longer, but it was known to be at least 2). Go 2 quads away, pick up somebody and deliver him here is now a 4 jump job.
Was this intended? Did somebody want this? Because knowing the minimum total hyperwarp jumps in a long mission was not something I was wishing for, whereas I am already wishing quite a bit for a way to sort jobs based on how far away the first hop is. 'how far away' is not ideal -- I would really like a sort function based on exactly where the first hop is, but only having to look at all the jobs that are wanting you to make a 3 hop jump (to see if anybody wants you to go someplace you are already going) was an improvement over having to read everything, which is what I am doing now.
What do other people think?

I'd really like a way to start a new captain, but not exactly from scratch. Fast Forward past this 'and then we grind until everybody is at least level 11 and we can afford a better first replacement ship' phase.

It's official, my 2nd replacement nvidia shield tablet is about to die the permament death of no battery. Nvidia never made replacement batteries. I tried the technique used here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOc8afGYDfo to get a different battery (the one in the video) to work. The surgery was only partially successful. The new battery worked, but alas I could not recharge it inside the tablet. I have to use an external battery charger, which defeats the whole purpose of the exercise. Plus you would have to re-solder the whole thing every time you needed a charge. Just having an external battery pack does not work either, as the thing currently draws more power than it recharges with -- so you have to shut it down for hours to recharge no matter what. And the k1 shield is no longer being manufactured. So I cannot just buy a fourth one. Grrrr again. Looks like I have to buy a new tablet. The Samsung Galaxy tab s5e looks nice, and a friend of mine has one and loves it. But will STF run on it? What about the other games? CKN? grumpy badger.

tarquelne I'm still waiting for my Box of Shame component. A crew member becomes unavailable for 6 months but after that they are cured of Proud, Highbrow, Born to Royalty and maybe a few other traits. Greedy

What kind of armor type you use for the different roles? I read in another post that all Heavy is best. Is using stealth and stealth depending talents recommended or just a hassle? I have been ok with stealth armour in positions 3 and 4. Not in 1 or 2 -- when the zealot manages to land a blow with his blade you end up almost-completely-dead.
