Yeah I know it's like it's too difficult to give us some kind of clue as to how it works. Probably spend as much time reading and watching videos on YouTube as actually playing the game.
The FSS only works in supercruise and even then you have to have throttle set to zero. And you have to switch modes between combat (normal) and scanning - total pain in the arse when you drop into a system, switch to scanning mode and then get jumped and interdicted and forget to switch back to combat mode. And don't get me started about 'tuning' the FSS.

Yeah on PC you need to press the M key to go into scan mode which will then let you honk as before and you then press the ' key to enter tuned scanning for different objects. Like I said, it makes finding HGSSs a lot easier but thats the only benefit unless you're into exploring.
Here you go:
Nope! Thieving Low Temperature Diamonds and selling them at the right black market is where its at!
Did some eansy-weansy, tiny tweaks to your Phantom set up (but you did forget to add a Detailed Surface scanner
) and came up with this:
Yeah I'll probably use that blueprint anarl.Nope! Thieving Low Temperature Diamonds and selling them at the right black market is where its at!
This is my haul after about 1.5 hours of piracy.

I've got a Phantom sitting doing nothing at Shinrarta so I even worked out all the materials needed. I might actually build this myself!

There's a new bug appeared with 3.3 in that people using XBox controllers or mouse+keyboard are finding they are locking up and becoming unresponsive.

I've had to ditch my controller and set up a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick. It's taken me friggin' ages to re-map all the buttons (still not finished) but the worst part is trying to un-learn the muscle memory built up over the past 3 years playing with the Xbox controller.
I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts on this that I'm in the process of getting the money/mats for. Its primary use would be as an anti-PvP ship.
I've never really been into PvP since I got my arse handed to me on a plate when I bought my first ever Conda but a few weeks ago I got a cry for help from my squadron. When I got there they were all getting the shit kicked out of their Vettes and Cutters by a group of PvPers in much smaller ships. I lost 286M in re-buys before I quit and ran!
It seemed to me the PVPers had 2 things going for them: they were using experimentals to fuck with our internal modules and they were constantly causing us to lose lock on their ships.
So to counter these I've thought about using Module Reinforcements to protect the internals, as big a shield as possible, Emissive/rapid-fire multicannons to increase ability to lock onto them and the equivalent firepower of 44 Fixed/Medium frag cannons all going off at once right in their cheesy little faces.
Any advice is welcome.

Oops! Wrong one. Try this instead:

Thanks, there's some really good advice in that although it's more aimed at being the bad guy. I was trying for a build which could defend itself against the PvPers but after reading it I've switched the weps to this:
Doh!
They do appear to have changed the mechanics of NPC combat. since 3.3. Their prefered tactic does seem to be to try to ram you at high speed. Its a bit stupid when I'm sitting in a shield-tanked Cutter and they try to ram me in a Viper. I just watch them bounce of me, taking out all of their own shields and 80% of their own hull and them blast them to vapour with one shot.
Also, after my nav scanner showed me my target was supposed to be in a Signal Source, he appeared zooming around in supercruise at the same time!
