new player

Just started. Bit late to the party 😂 Veteran from the 1980’s. Been reading online about game development issues. Would this game benefit from a user experience similar to sim city rather than fortnite. People could develop their own civilisations on settlements and the exploration can be...

Hi New Players, The aim of this post is to give you an idea of where you can find game documentation and help in the PC game client and get you started on your journey to becoming Elite. The information presented here is current as of Elite Dangerous Odyssey v4.0.0.1700, which was released on...

Hi! My name is Javafox and I just got into Elite about 3 weeks ago. I have currently 123 hours into the game with an Alliance Chieftain with the aspiration of acquiring either the Federal Corvette or Imperial Cutter. I mainly primary space combat and discrete planetary base missions; but I'm...

I'm one of the many players who started playing because of the free Epic Games release. Last night I registered and linked an account, got it to work after multiple attempts and "Please buy the game" messages, and played the game. It worked perfectly fine. I was actually having a lot of fun...

Hi I am returning to ED after a 2 year break and I am looking for a welcoming squadron to join. I am not really into combat (at this stage anyway) and up to now I have been exploring, cargo carrying and the good old passenger missions (recently out of Robigo Mines where I am Allied with the...

Im a new player, just completed Mawson Dock, and was wondering if anyone has anything to help me start out. I enjoy RPGs and wanted to RP this game as much as possible. I would really appreciate anything at all such as profession ideas, faction or group invites/tips, money/equipment.... Anything...

OK, I need some guidance. I'm using the neutron superhighway for the first time and I've had few successful jumps then I arrived in DRYAU AUSMS PS-U E2-407 and it scared the everloving crap out of me. I've watched some videos before doing tying neutron jumping out and I've never seen one spin...

I bought ED a long time ago on steam, but never really got into it. I never even got out of my sidewinder. There weren't really any ships that I was excited for, horizons came out and I was like oh... More stuff I don't care about. Then the carrier! OMG! That's what I wanted! I played Eve...

Hey all, I'm a very new Elite player (I just started 2 days ago) and, as an avid Star Trek fan, there is nothing more in this game that I would like more than to be to the person who discovers a whole new system, the person who travels the furthest ever travelled in this game. I understand that...

Buenas tardes, recientemente estaba jugando a ED cuando me he encontrado que hay algunos sistemas (como por ejemplo Matet) a los que no me deja acceder, apareciéndome un mensaje que dice algo parecido a que me falta un permiso de la Federación de Pilotos. ¿Cómo o donde consigo ese permiso para...

Hola buenas, llevo apenas un par de días jugando a ED y resulta que de repente tengo a una especie de cazarrecompensas que no deja de perseguirme por los sitemas para intentar destruir mi nave. Siempre es el mismo NPC (juego en solitario) con una Vulture, y me salta un mensaje al panel de chat...

I am an extremely novice player looking for a group to join, this is my first space sim game and I have no clue what I actually want to do yet. I played for 7 hours a while back but have only recently found the game again and i am currently getting ready to be involved in it. Last time i played...

Hi, everyone! :) As a huge Zoo Tycoon fan, I was majorly excited about Planet Zoo. However, I've only had it for two days and I'm feeling a bit low. It's an absolutely gorgeous and well-thought out game, but the glitches made me give up on the tutorial levels (like undetectable waste constantly...

Currently attempting a mission located at the Clute Installation + in the Opala System. I have to use the DLS to interact with the Hub Access Terminal Datalink. I've tried to scan it both in the Scarab and in my ship. I have Horizons, if that helps. I've tried rebinding the key and changing...

I don't know if there's a mechanic that I'm not aware of, I'm a fairly new player. But I just got interdicted and instantly killed by another Commander. During the interdiction, I stayed in the circle almost the entire time, but despite that the red progress bar went up far faster than I could...

I have a friend just joining the game and my friends and I have played for some time now. to give him some practice flying around with us I tried to invite him to multicrew but it said invitee is already in a crew. I am unsure if this is because he is in the new player star systems and needs to...
