plea to Veteran Commanders

[Ghstimage]

I wish to ask someone if they would be willing to put together a list of all the more important "terms, words, phrases, acronyms used by commander's in this game if possible. I am patiently waiting for the PS4 release and read up on these posts periodically. But I am utterly lost when ED jargon starts getting thrown around. It would be a great benefit to understand what the hell some of these conversations were talking about. Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
A Future Commander

Very good I'd add to that list with CG = Community Goal (a mass attendance event of varying types that generally has a payout at the end).

You might find it fun to watch my Starting Over series. It's a gameplay series in which I started the game from the beginning, and try to explain things as I go.

In any case, welcome to the community!

I've been reading threads and then typing whatever I'm confused about followed by elite dangerous wiki in google search. The irony is I played the original so I'm probably more veteran than most of the people on this forum but the new and improved game I'm a noob.
