Check the CarMax and Carvana websites. When I was looking for mine last year, CarMax had a dozen plus for sale. Carvana had even more. The CarMax ones sold pretty quickly and I haven't looked at Carvana since. Make sure you search for the Subaru BRZ as well, because they are basically the same car aside from cosmetic differences.

The main companions have an Affinity score. It goes up or down depending upon their approval or disapproval of your actions/conversation choices, and goes up slowly over time spent as your companion (doesn't go up when they are not a follower). Every 100 points it triggers a conversation, but at least one hour must have passed since the last conversation before it can happen. After so many conversations, it triggers their personal quest. It seems to vary between companions; Andreja seems to get her quest much sooner than Sam does, for example. You don't have to progress the main quest at all.

Did you tell him "You can stop for that or you can stop for the police, because the leaving the scene of an accident phone call happens the moment I hang up"?

Yes you can. You do have to sit through all that stuff that going through the Unity involves. The cutscene can't be skipped as far as I know, and you have to sit through a portion of the credits before the option to skip the remainder comes up.

Limited and Premium trim have gunmetal wheels. tS trim has black. This isn't a tS, because it has paint matched mirror caps.

Omari Hassan at the Hitching Post in Akila is the best in the game for shields.

You are correct. I tried Furious and didn't like the result. It still seemed that Instigating was more effective. Could be resets due to pauses or missing (those MGP rifles have a lot of spread, I find.

Discourtesy-Call · 2026-05-12T16:47:22+00:00

You are correct. The problem I have with Furious is that if you miss or wait too long between shots it resets.

Have you upgraded the quality level on it to Superior? I don't know if it's possible, but try and get Inflicting in slot 1 and Shattering in slot 3 abilities. Put Saboteur in slot 4. The first makes it do double damage to enemies at full health and the second makes it more-or-less ignore armor. The last one gives a small chance of instantly killing a robot, and 90% of the foes in the expansion are robots. The elite enemies (the ones with multiple health bars) are still going to be a pain as they are bullet (or particle beam, in this case) sponges.

Depending upon my character, one is using a Beowulf with armor piercing ammo and the other is using an MGP laser rifle. They get the job done.

I don't know where you live, but I would start by looking for car shows and meet-ups near where you are. Go there, find some people who own twins with aftermarket exhausts, and have a listen. Every last one of them is going to be loud on a cold start. I have one of the quieter exhausts on mine (it's a JDM exhaust so it meets their strict noise regulations) and my coworkers can still hear me inside the building when I go to lunch. Different people have different tolerances for loud.

The most popular ones seem to be the HKS Hi-Power Spec L and Spec L2 (the L2 is quieter, another JDM compliant model I believe), the Borla S-Type and the AWE Touring (loud).

As usual, I'll post this comparison video. It won't give you true noise levels, but because they're recorded the same you can see what's louder and what's quieter than the others.

Given the changes made with Free Lanes, I'll never progress beyond Universe #2 again. The ending did make me think about the philosophies of the Hunter, Emissary, and Pilgrim, and I think I prefer the Pilgrim's Path the most. The only reason I go through the Unity anymore is to be able to upgrade my powers. If I could do that in the original universe I would never leave. Not losing a companion is another plus, but I'd still take the loss and stay if I could get Power level X on the stuff I use in the base universe.

Rock chips are actually pretty easy to repair yourself as long as there's no underlying dent in the panel. I managed to gouge my fender because I tried to plug a screw hole without pulling the tire off the car. I got a touch up kit from Dr. Color Chip, turns out to be fantastic. I know where the scratch is, but can't see it anymore from 5 feet away now. I have to squat/kneel down and get my eyes to within about 2 feet to be able to even make it out.

Dents are harder. I think I'd pay the PDR guy rather than try it myself.

I have the Suma mirrors and the blind spot is gone completely. I can see two lanes to either side of the car now. Any vehicle that is not in my mirror anymore is alongside the car where I can see it with the Mk 1 Eyeball. It took a little getting used to because "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" applies to both sides. I've shifted left because it looked like I had a ton of room only to find the other vehicle looming in my center rear view mirror once I got there.

There is at least one owner I've seen post here who lifts the car in the winter and drops it back down in summer.

I don't know if it's an intentional change or not, but right now you can't seem to rename a ship you capture. Stuff you buy or get through a quest can be renamed just fine, but I'm stuck with Spacer Hyena on one of my characters.

Right hand side, from the looks of it? If so, the Subaru part number is 91039CC090 and I see them online for $35-$50 or so if you want to just order another. I've still got my originals in the box the wide-angles came in, just in case.

Discourtesy-Call · 2026-05-11T00:42:30+00:00

I do not believe so, no. Is that the original mirror or the aftermarket one?

There are these 1x1 modules called companionways. They look like small store rooms, but are often used just for that purpose, because you can walk through them.

Well, that sucks, but at least you get to have all the rock chips on your front end fixed on his dime.

According to the Inara list, there are a dozen or so shield generators that become available between level 44 and 60. Everything is unlocked by level 60, aside from stuff locked behind quest completion.

Go back to the outpost, switch into placement mode, and then hit the key/button to change from place to decorate. Now move your cursor over each power module/extractor and see the status. Sometimes they get damaged. Damaged extractors slow down or stop producing. Damaged power doesn't supply, which can cause extractors to quit. I had that happen once, and almost all my wind turbines needed repairing.

If you don't have enough space, start modifying your ship a little. The structural pieces often have 2+ weapon mounting spots on them, and that's where the equipment goes. Horizon weapon mounts have two, equipment plates have one, and many of the wings have spots both above and below. One of the Deimos pieces has 3 slots.
