It just says that my spy was attack by enemy crew member name with used weapon type, shows the rolls, and states that it was a miss.
hmm I think I found me a bug!
This is my captain, he started in position 4, but seeing as he has a pistol and no crew combat talents he was not able to do anything there, so last round I had him switch with my Doc.
Now it is his turn again and all I can do is move, no shooting or even refocusing.

Ha poor guy, all he can do is run too and fro in the back line!

Huh, and next boarding attempt (in the same ship combat) he is fine and able to fire and refocus after switching from pos 4 to 3

yep, you are right athios. The Pilot Module helps with dodging the enemy fire :-)

I should probably add the escape info to the wiki...

albma , I walk you through maintaining positive rep (with all factions) in my Advanced Let's Play on youtube (http://startradersrpg.proboards.com/post/198291/thread).  Essentially, I take missions early on to make money/gain experience while avoiding trading into the trade ban.  As mission steps are completed on a landing zone, return to orbit and patrol to regain any rep loss.  Patrol on additional planets of the affected faction (and others) to stay ahead of the rep curve.

By the time the initial trade bans are resolved, I normally have a level 4 trade permit in my faction, and enough skills talents to mitigate patrol risk cards.

So, just another idea on how to get/keep positive reputation with the factions 

There is not penalty to playing ST:F as a sand box.  Due to the ship's void engine, spacers age very slowly, so essentially the captain/crew won't die of old age.  The game has a concept of 'Eras' (such as factions fighting over power in a new Senate, a galaxy-wide plague, or spice crops falling to disease for several years) which impact the game events for a period of time. 

Finally, the game does get 'harder' over time, but you would presumably be gaining experience, learning new talents, upgrading your ship to stay ahead of this curve.  You can also mitigate this by playing at a lower difficulty than your are capable of (or use the custom difficulty to swing everything in your favor to fit your playstyle.

sorry. my bad. I mis-read the discord discussion with John Robinson.

anyway, did cursory testing with Safari. turning off adblocker, pop-up window prevention, even tried to force safari to use Dev/UserAgent/(various browsers)... so ?? If I come across anything on the dev forums or other will let you know.

and FWIW for now, works on Android, does not work on iOS.

When patrolling over a Javat planet, I was able to reduce negative rep from -24 to -10, but (while in orbit), the landing zones are still showing that services are not available.  Even after landing and returning to orbit, the services aren't refreshed.

Not a big deal, but if it's possible to fix sometime, might prevent others from bug pointing.

Second picture to demonstrate that services (doctor/spice hall) are available.

Normally the devs will use the term FFN (fixed for next), meaning it will be in the next update.  If it's something major, it will probably be in the notes, but a spelling error/truncation/etc... probably won't be mentioned.

If you see it re-occur after, nothing wrong with coming back to this post and adding to it. :-)

(btw, the next update just got released on Steam)
