  I put together a video guide of 20 easy to find skill magazines. All 20 are about a 30 second walk from a fast travel point. There are a few that are right next to each other as well. This should help people clean up the rest you need.
  
  You can check how many skill magazines you've read by hitting then go down to general and see stats.
  
  Edit: Some people have pointed out that the one location I show for magazine 17 in the video does not show up for everyone, every playthrough. If the abandoned weapon station isn't on the planets map when you get there you will not be able to get that one unfortunately.

  I can confirm this popped for me after only collecting the remaining 4 magazines I needed after starting a NG+ - that is magazines appear to be tracked over NG (as of Oct 23).

  Skill Magazines are basically collectibles scattered around the galaxy, and picking them up grants stat buffs and perks. Here are 25 easy to grab skill magazines found on some of the most common areas of the game.
  
  If you're unable to travel to their locations, you may need to make a little more progress in the main story, or in a faction questline.

  If you're like me and already finished the Crimson Fleet quest thread, the UC Vigilance will permanently relocate to the Key in the Kryx system.

  Hi All
  
  Achievement can be obtained very early on in the game following the first few main missions loosely. I unlocked this achievement on Akila. There are far more than 20 available to collect, but only 20 are required.
  
  Video shows the 20 different locations
