Remember the Golden Rule .... "Never fly without sufficient rebuy" ;).

Oh, and keep your speed below 100 through the slot ! :D

Two HUGE rules to live by.

ED is the only game where you can get shot for a parking ticket, or going 1% over the speed limit. Wow, a station has BIG BIG lasers.

End game gets boring. I have billions, and truth to tell, I don't care if I lose a ship, even my 800 million Vette. I can re-buy 10 of them. Where you are now is the most fun : Deciding what to do, where to go, how to do it. Are beams better then burst lasers ? Should I get a Python and do it cheap, or continue to run the Asp until I have 125 Million ? Or maybe buy a Vulture/FDL and bounty hunt for a while. Each move feels critical. Each death hurt.

Even if I reset my account, I still wouldn't have the same excitement.

Enjoy the experience.

Welcome commanded. It's always exciting when new players picked up the games and like it... or even love it as some of us do.

Welcome Commander! Now, get out of that starter system and reach out into the black. There is soooo much to see and do. Congratulations on your new addiction!

I envy you. I joined in original beta and loved it. I can only imagine how someone joining today feels, esp if you also have Horizons.

Welcome aboard Commander o7

Welcome Cmdr!
Get some rest!

Open is waiting when you're ready.

Here are the two most helpful vids I've come across for making the leap:

Welcome CMDR!

Glad you're enjoying the game. :)

And yes, it's perfectly safe* to fly through the slot at 600m/s!

*Just don't do it in Open, some players like to grind their hulls down, then ram speeding ships, so you're considered the murderer, and promptly killed by the station.
In solo however, it's usually fine unless some numpty harmless shieldless NPC gets in the way. :D

You may also hit the back wall. But you can take it.

Fly fun CMDR!

So I bought the game about 2 weeks ago and sale on the PlayStation store. After debating if I should get FIFA or hockey and I figured they won't give me much enjoyment so I got ED. Then it brought back memories when I was a kid in Germany it was played on computers and it was interesting but I didn't really get it. And then I kind of started hating anything space-related or space games I thought it was very nerdy and weird. Slowly I'm 35 years old now and I got into the game I haven't slept for a day 2 days ago. Got 45 million in the bank still hanging around eravate system. Doing mostly deliveries with the t7. I love this game I have battlefield v I haven't even touched it since I got this.I also didn't go online because I don't want some kid blowing me up until I get a good ship sorry. I'm debating whether I should get the voucher or just some federal assault ship cuz I have all the ranks. But I just kind of want to save and add up money. Visiting the empire just now for some goods I saw the clipper for 22 million so I might try to get over there and work with them. My home is the Cleve hub in eravate. I do want to move to Sol though. Thinking of doing the little migration soon with my dolphin get some passengers going. I got all the Knicks and systems how the game works... cant let it go...

So... what's wrong with being nerdy? Or weird?

Anyway, welcome to the black! o7

Protip: since recent payouts enable new players to get a lot of credits real fast be careful with bigger ships until you have some more flight experience.

Nothing now is wrong with being nerdy lol...it's just that I was 12 and what did I know besides dribble and score goals in games and in real life lol...now my son knows way more then j did at that age and he is 8 lol...he knew make make moon in our solar system and I never heard of it ..I showed him sol yesterday and he knew all the body's already.

tnx for the advice when I'm in "open"
This game is next to the Witcher the best one ever.Gta has nothing on it or any other dumbed down sandbox really...I sold read dead redemption the other day cuz they can charge someone else for microtrasactions in multi...haven't even touched it.Now ace combat has to come out at this time lol...

Welcome Cmdr!

Tell us about this !
Nocty:
It would be nice to see the grays somewhere as I've seen them for real as a holograph in the moon and that same year 2001 I believe or two the same image appeared in a crop circle in England with the same face I saw only I saw three of them looking very mean and souless.

We have insects for aliens here

Yes I believe that the thargoids could have been imaged to the da'l or zetas or grays.(it's one and the same ) they have a large head and a receptor in an antenna in there they are not biological they're half biological and insectoid based. Highly technological but soulless. It was a humid summer night in Florida for me and my four friends were sitting out on the porch the moon was crescent pointing upwards like an old airplane wheel if you will.one of my friends said wow look at the Moon then my other friend said keep looking and when I looked three heads appeared out of the light as a holographic image looking down very mean Stern soilless chilling... I did not tell my friends that I saw it out of shock I was waiting on someone to say if they see it too cuz I didn't want to appear crazy. Let's just say there was some psilocybin involved. Which does not diminish what I saw as the crop circle proves it the same year.all you have to do is Google alien crop circle England. It's the same expression I saw.
I also would recommend anyone to see the book of man you can only get it on the Vimeo player.

If you have some experience with psilocybin then you bought Elite at just the right time. Below you see a picture of a recent discovery made in the Elite Galaxy. You can scan them with the Composition Scanner and it's quite possible they cause strange effects in response.

PS: I don't know about The Book of Man. At the moment Elite's Notable Stellar Phenomena are enough of an enigma for me.
