The Todd guy, it's not any old alliance bounties, apparently there's special bounties that can just be redeemed with him. They are rare. I turned in 500k of normal alliance bounties at his station and it didn't do anything.
No that's what your exploration data did. It never gave me any indication or anything either, but once I turned it in she was already at level 3. I think I turned in 500-600 k.
Again? We had the big one overnight, and one at around 9:45 central time this morning. I'm not seeing any notifications on my message screen.

That second update was earlier this morning, they took the servers down for a couple minutes.
I just put a level 5 increased range FSD on my cobra mkIII. I'm just doing some mods on it, because I need to get the dirty drive engineer to level 4, I already have level 3 on my pythons, so I figure I'll rank up the first few levels with my cobra. Anyways I got a great roll on my FSD, my cobra can now jump 27.55 lys. I can't wait until I put a level 5 dirty drive on it, after I first do my python. The cobra should be able to boost well over 500.
I need 5 more specialized legacy firmwares, 3 parmasuetical isolators, and a modified consumer firmware to get the last engineer to level 5 dirty drive. That should be all he engineers I need then, I can do some re rolling to get a little better stats, or maybe try for some weapon special effects. I hate the idea of bringing an engineer down a couple levels, just to get an effect you want. I think I'll wait on it and maybe they'll change it.
Micro weave cooling hoses are pretty common commodity rewards for missions. The specialized legacy firmware, I've found quite a few already on misisons, but they can also be found scanning data beacons in undiscovered signal sources, either embedded emissions detected or encoded emissions detected, when either of those pop up they are worth checking out. Some of them don't have squat, but some have rare materials you need and stay beacons you can scan. Modified embedded firmware is super rare, I've only found one of those so far on a mission, you're supposed to be able to find them in USS too, or on data points on planets.
Be sure to use that Inara website for the blueprints, it tells you what ships drop what materials and where to find the certain items you need, a lot of the commodities you need can be bought(magnetic emmiter coils, heat sink interlinks, emergency power cells etc) there's only a few commodities you need for blueprints that you have to find on mission boards( micro weave cooling hoses, articulation motors).
You can turn in exploration data for Elvira too. I think engineer Palin as well. Elvira you should just have to get halfway leveled through level 3, to unlock the next engineer.I did a mission where I found the Cracked industrial Firmware but I went the whole weekend without finding any of the Specialized Legacy Firmware or the Micro-weave Hoses lol. I checked Unidentified Signal sources, did mission after mission but did not find it or the Micro-Weave Cooling hoses. Last night right before I was ready to switch off, I saw a mission for the Hoses, it was a short little jump, Data mission, easy as pie; so now I have 4 of the Hoses at least. I need those for a weapon mod at Todd ' The Blaster' Mcquinn so I'll be able to do that now. I do like that website, it came in handy. I also made time to visit Elvira out in Khun, dropped off the Relics and had her craft me about 4 mods, and I leveled her up to level 2. I don't see a shortcut to leveling her up like turning in exploration data at Felicity's place, so I'll keep crafting mods there.
I mainly flew the Asp Explorer this weekend rounding up a lot of data for Felicty and the Type 7 to make some money. Since I don't typically fight in those ships, it got me to thinking about the Eagle. Here is a ship I bought, flew a few times and parked. Since then it has gathered dust. Well this weekend I made some time to pull it out and tinker with it. This is a fickle ship mainly because the Power generator even when maxed out, A- rated with the best Distributor isn't enough to power all of the systems; you have to make sacrifices. What that meant for me was downgrading my 3A Thrusters to 2A and downgrading my life support to a D rated one, so in other words I have 5 minutes to make it to a station; so don't die, got it. That made enough room to run a Fixed Beam Laser on top of the ship and two multi cannons underneath, and yes I can fire all 3 at once which packs quite a punch for a small ship. It also has an impressive 17ly jump range too.
So I took it out to the local nav-beacon and laid-waste to a Federal Assault ship with it, security showed up towards the end but I already had him mostly beaten. I could stay behind the FAS almost the whole time, even downgraded to the 2a Thrusters the Eagle is more than capable of outmaneuvering, well, basically everything else in the game. The FAS did manage to get my shields down to one Ring but that was the worst of it., I love this Eagle now, I'll definitely be flying it more at local nav beacons, I easily made 300K in about 20 minutes with it. I think it's also one of the best looking ships in the game. Since the paint job's were on sale, I decided to buy this one
You'll have to get 25 unknown fragments to unlock engineer Palin. You get those fragments by running into or shooting unknown artifacts. They make creepy noises if you listen, and they scan you when you first drop out of super cruise. They are in USS that say "Anomaly detected".
