Regarding Patrol Stars
Maybe this has been posted already, if so I apologise, theres a lot of threads posted every day.
I just realised that the patrol star doesn't turn from orange to grey (i.e refresh) unless you change zoom levels or leave the nav map. So there I was, circling the damn star for a week, staring at it at 1024 speed waiting for it to change. still didn't turn grey, I went to zoom out to plot another course elswhere (ie I gave up!) and it turned grey.
So the next time I got a patrol star, I zoomed out and back in once every 24 hours, and it seems to average about 24 to 48 hours before it changed.
I also just figured out that you have to send a contact report after you complete a mission to get your next one.
Hope this helps somebody else!
Happy hunting.
