G'day CMDRs o7
If you've taken the plunge with preordering, be advised it's now less than 10 days before you can begin to download. I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of Sidewinders scuttling about come the 27th. The wait is becoming palpable!
I have studied up a bit to be able to hit the ground running when I begin to fly around and about. I'd like to share what I've read up on, seen and gleaned. Maybe you'll find it useful if you haven't already.
The references and links I'm about to copy and paste are easy to read, really interesting to learn and should serve you well so you don't feel like such a noob. I also reckon they will make you appreciate how far ED has come since it's kickstarter, it's beta builds and updated content. As I write this, you may have heard most recently the Thargoids are back! [alien]
Anyway, without further ado and in no particular order is some of the stuff I want to start impart with you that has been done by FDEV and your fellow CMDRs to begin helping you out:
For your viewing pleasure:
Pilot Training Tutorials - a series of ten. Essential for you to start in getting the fundamentals down.
Horizons Training Guides - another series of ten. Again recommended so you can be brought up to speed with the latest update.
Official Channel - from Frontier Developments. Posts all manner of stuff from trailers, live streams, updates and all things to sink your teeth into
Reading material:
Official forums - again from FD. Troves of information and reference from users and the developers themselves. And of course there's the PS4 forum with lots of other people saying they can't wait until the 27/6 to finally get into the black!
The following links are pdf manuals are made by fellow CMDRs to really get you educated and skilled up to understand and become involved to be learned in all the nuts and bolts with how to make the most of the game.
Pilot's Guide/Manual/Tutorial/Help - thanks to forger.
Exodus Coalition Pilot's Guide - thanks to Aaron Starr, DrunkRenegade12 and Geech MD
On PlayStation Communities, there are quite a few groups worldwide that are open to all so you can make friends and contribute with groups so as not to feel all alone
There's a plethora of other viewing and reading to get into. If you're wanting background, you can buy official novels from amazon and watch YouTube to review lore of the various factions by passionate users. However I do recommend you at least verse yourself with what I've posted above because I've found them all a great help, incredibly useful and informative [smile]
See you in the black soon CMDRs o7.
UPDATE 17/6 Alec Turner has posted "Alec's best of the forum (and elsewhere) thread" which I completely recommend. Great stuff Alec o7
