I need to confirm the fix worked, so if you where, a simply yes will confirm it for me.

Newmars is not really that difficult a system. Most areas are level 5 with a few lvl25 areas that use level 10 encounters. I would not go there with a standard light fighter unless its been upgraded but any ship sold in Newmars can handle the pirates in that system.
Any guys, Pirates will be a feature of V6. I suggest you start learning where all the Border world jumpholes are because Newmars will be connecting to them soon. Also, when Version 6 is released, start searching for pirate bases in Newmars.

Right now though, im researching a brand new docking system using a docking cylinder that im going to graft onto the side of some stations. It will be HUGE but it should allow Capital ships to be used for the first time in hostile universe.
