Hi all,
I started playing ED at beta stage, had a T6 in end of B 1.06, did play some gamma too but not much i'm afraid.
I don't know if these questions belongs in the newcomer forum really but here goes, thanks in advance :)
1 read the forums alot cuz much help to get here and much humour !! So I'm sorry if some questions already been answered.
---
1. As a beta backer I guess I will be recieving an Eagle, my question is: if it gets destroyed will it respawn(like a sidey) or is it back to sidey and the Eagle gone ?
-
2. As a beta backer do I have a Sol permit ?
-
3. Is founders world for kickstarters only ?(from my search here it is)
-
4. Is exploration unqiue to my Cmdr ? Meaning if another commander already have scanned planet X and sold the data, can I scan and sell the data or is that object(planet X) already discovered so to speak ?
-
5. Back in beta you couldnt see how much the insurance fee would be if you died, I think I read you can now, is that correct ?
-
6. Point defence turrets, is there anyway to quickly turn em on or off ? From what I have read they often shoot stuff you don't want em too ;)
-
7. I have never bought system data, do the data include commodities info/prices ?
-
8. Cmdrs in here often say I was interdicted/scanned or attacked by a "ship class". What is the fastest way to know what ship type is interacting with you? Do I have to target it and let the scanner do it's scan ?
-
9. What ship would you recomend for exploration ? I think exploration sounds really fun and I will start my new(wiped) commander tonight. I will begin trading with the goal of getting enough money to buy a really good exploration vessel.
-
10. More of a general question, do many of you use trading tools like slopeys ? I used slopeys in Beta 1.06, some say it's cheating some say since there are no good inbuilt tools it really saves time and I dont like pen n paper.
-
11. What is the fastest way to find your latest post here in the forums ?
-
-
Oops, many questions.. Thank you in advance Cmdr's !!

Wish they added an alert system like many forums have today where you see if anyone replied, written your name or any other activity regardin YOU in the forum. But we dont even have paragraph spacing so i wouldnt hold my breath. FD is hard at work with the game instead me thinks. ;) I let others give you answers to the rest cause iz gotta eat!

1) yes you get both back
2)yes
3) IIRC yes
4) I think so but not sure (I could always sell my exploration data)
5) in the right display it says how much money you have and the re-buy value (you have lifetime 96% insurance)
6) turn em off in modules or set them to shoot only forward in the right panel display
7) trade data are separate and buyable
9) ASP

1. Nope. If it goes bang, it's gone. Edit: I sit corrected
2. Yup
3. Yup, Kickstarter only.
4. If someone has already scanned it, you will get less money than if you were the first, but you still get money.
5. Yup, on the right hand panel.
6. You can turn them off in the Modules panel, but not quickly. TBH I've never had any problems with mine.
7. Nope. System data and Commodities data are bought separately for each system (if they are available, sometimes they're not)
8. Just target it. The ship type is visible instantly. You only have to do a standard ship scan for name and if wanted in the local area.
9. Asp, hands down when you have some money. But you can trick out a Hauler for a lot less and have almost the same jump range.
10. Nope, I just use the Galaxy Map. It's more reliable now, but still throws up some weird things every now and again.
11. Go to your profile > My Activity

Fly safe :)

Thanks for the quick replys !!
And thanks for links too, was just going to ask how much an asp is but found it on the shipyard site :) Yikes 6 mil, will take me some time hehe

Another quick question, I did never quite get the Module NUMBER/LETTER thing, for example 3E Power distributor. Any good rule of thumb ?

The number is the class (or size), bigger better usually (but not always)

The letter is the quality, with A being the best

Lemme dig around some more links

wiki and loads of info
http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Elite_Dangerous_Wiki

Elite Rare Trader
http://eliteraretrader.co.uk/ (if you want a route, look round in the forums or I'll send you mine, it's a small 180Ly route but with 40T I can make 1.4-1.6mil round trip)

Some info on SuperCruise, to make it faster and more fun:

As a helping hand to get the best distance out of whatever ship you use to explore, fit a class A FSD and everything else class D if possible. The class D modules are the lightest out of all classes and you can use this fact to get pretty astonishing ranges out of some ships :)

BTW an ASP costs 6mil but a DECENT ASP is at least 10 millions with modules, take that in mind

I went: sidewinder->eagle->cobra->type-6 and the 'cow' helped me get the money for the ASP

PS the 'cow' is the type-6

Barring the FSD (but that is the next upgrade) and the alloys (got heavy, but I will get the military composite) my Asp is class A on all the kit, and is worth over 28Mcr. It is a good all rounder, with 88T cargo space, and 6 gimballed beam lasers. Most A5 kit for it costs around 5Mcr.

Wait a sec, about question number 1, I think I am wrong (you only get it back if you do a CLEAR SAVE)
Anyway, the insurance on an eagle is something like 4000 credits
