Hi
I have finally finished the "Eliminate The Grind" mini-series, celebrating Elite Dangerous's smaller ships, with ED's amazing Flight Assist Off flight model.
The series started as an experiment to see if you could have compelling gameplay using a Sidewinder. As you can see the scope changed somewhat to include other small ships but the ethos has remained the same, simply put: you don't need a big ship to get the most out of this game. I also want to help mitigate the inevitable Big Ship Envy that most new CMDRs experience.
The videos are presented as a series of quasi-tutorials on potential career paths. The first and second careers are the easiest but each career has been sequenced in order of 'risk', as opposed to difficulty, with the first career being the safest and the last career, arguably, the least safe. For instance "The Prospector" is a trickier career to master compared to the one in "The Thrillseeker". One often sees old grizzled Prospectors, you rarely see old age Thrillseekers...
For those who would like to find out more please have a look at Newton's Gambit group page on this forum, a friendly player group who help train CMDRs to fly FA Off.
