Hi, i bought elite a couple of days ago. Till today i wasnt able to have fun with it!

Why?
I tried to do the mission from the board ... but most of the missions are not possible to run them with my starting ship. Iam not able to run 8 whatever of cargo, iam not able to win a fight with the sidewinder and iam not able to be a free merchant cause my ship cant jump with the amount cargo (till today dont know where i can see if iam overloaded).
So i sit in a station an wait for a new job on the board ... but nothing happens. always the same crappy missions that i can perform!!!!

i played a lot - i played the old school hardcore flightsim F-16, i played the origional "elite", i played the buggy "x" and many more. But this game is a joke!!
Players are killing me after they kicked me out of hyperspace, my ship is weack and the mission generator is programmed by a beginner.

And then there are the bugs - when you cant see the numbers of the docking ports, when a station is attacking you but you did nothing, and so on!


So i have the right to get my money back! GIVE IT BACK TO MY CREDITCARD!!!!

Sorry, you can't expect help like that.

First everything of what you described has already been covered in the forums, or read the manual, that could help. Second, all issues stated are not the game's fault rather your own.
Your issue is the lack of skill and some basic understanding of basic mechanics. Read a little, check youtube, there are tons of tutorials.

I used to sit down and write a nice post about how you could approach the game, and be successful. Not anymore. Send me your email, I'll paypal ya 10 bucks for your account. Then go away. This game is not for everyone, and obviously fall into the " not everyone" category. Thanks for playing, have a nice day, goodbye.

Have you read the manual, tried out the tutorials and checked the wealth of info on YouTube ? It will give you an insight on how to get started

Did you play the training missions? ...

If you get intedicted with a sidy, most "enemy" ships don't have a shield. You have one. It is easy to beat them, except if you play with the keyboard.
You will get easy money, if they are wanted. If they are not wanted, just run.

Since you are playing hardcore F-16, I think you have a joystick. So every interdiction should give you enough money to buy better equipment.

imo the sidy has 4 cargo slots. If you search a little bit, you'll be able to make 400 to 1200 credits per slot, per run.

We all needed to start small and for me it was fun.

Trading is possible, you just need to work at it. You have some slots, and can do courier runs. Work on those, and you'll soon be able to get a better trader.

The same goes for exploring and fighting.

Cheers, Phos.

Iam throwing a towel!

Everyone is writing how you can easily earn thousand millions of credits. oh be a merchant, get a cargo ship, find a trade route using thurds and be a rich man ... I CAN BUY NOTHING. There is no progression, there is no step forward, there is no content!!
