Ok one more question...

Does VIP and officer usage stack? For example VIP grants you -33% nav calc and nav officer also provides -33% if you used both would that be combined for -66%?

You say its cheaper to build vs. buy I didn't find that true

for example to purchase Science Module Mk1 - 7500

to manuf. one requires

44 m3 Aluminum + 10 m3 Gold + 35 m3 Oxygen      
      
qty   price/per   total      
44   80         3520
10   390         3900
35   50         1750
      
            9170 (grand total)

So in this scenario it costs much more to manuf. a science module vs purchasing one or were you speaking about mining or looting the resources?

How does one dismiss / quit a mission?  I'm sure this is one of those ultra simple things that I'm overlooking.  Thx in advance.
