So I was playing privateer and I noticed the radar screen on anymore. Do I have to buy a new one? Also when I look at the status of target ships, that screen gets fuzzy, but it doesn't seem like something I can repair. How do I fix that?

Thanks.

I'm not sure what you are asking with your first question, but i can answer the fuzzy thing.

Basicly your targeting system is damaged (hit R in flight to get an overview on damaged systems). If you have a repair robot (30k - worth the money) just wait, it will repair it.
Otherwise you can repair it on a base. On the ship modification screen at the top is the entrance to the software shop.
There you can buy radar systems/maps and also repair your radar. The first time i played this game it also took me some time to find the software shop =).
Take a look at the manual if you have trouble finding it.

Thanks, that helps!
