Ive been gone for a long time and am looking at comming back but i know a lot of things have changed since launch. Are all the new systems in the game explained well as you progress to them such as engineers etc?

Newcomer / Intro Does the game explain itself?
- Thread starter count_zero99uk
- Start date
Not really the game is explained in lots of other places though including here thats part of its apeal for me
As in...
"This is the Elite Dangerous Commander's Manual - Please look inside for all answers to playing the game"
No...this game has a learning curve like climbing Mt. Everest at times. You learn as you go. Questions can be answered here, on YouTube videos, various websites, and the Online Codex (to a point on this one).
Once you get the hang of it, the other stuff comes easier. I would suggest looking through the past posts here for hints, tips, tricks, explanations, etc. for things that make you go Hmmm...
Between this site and the online videos that some of the more experienced commanders have put together, I have learned most of the stuff that keeps me alive in this game. Hopefully, you can get the same valuable information and can enjoy the game as we do.

Cheers all. Found a manual on here 
looks like it has the info i need.

Don't be afraid to ask questions, like guys above said. It's just that they have to be specific problems. Unfortunately there is not enough time until the heat death of the universe to answer the question "what changed in last three patches".Cheers all. Found a manual on here
It’s best experienced without looking things up imho! I wish I could unlearn and go again, I wouldn’t look a thing up.
I came back after a 5 year absence. I remember having to watch tutorials back in the day just to learn to dock. Things look to be a lot easier, but there are some excellent tutorial makers out there... Exigeous, Hawkes Gaming, Down to Earth Astronomy - has really helped me make my returm!
Welcome back to the Elite Galaxy commander!
Below are some useful links.
In-game help is available in the form of menu links to the Pilot's Handbook and the Codex (right-hand cockpit panel 1st tab).
For a very good beginner's guide see: An in-depth beginner’s guide to Elite: Dangerous.
Tutorials covering all aspects of the game, many of them on video, are available from ED Tutorials.
There is a wealth of useful information available in these forums spread out over hundreds of threads. Thanks to commander @Alec Turner you can access all of that information and more via a single thread: Alec's best of the forum (and elsewhere) [v2].
Also check out the inara.cz and eddb.io websites with (almost) realtime info on practically everything in the game.
The coriolis.io and edsy.org websites let you design your ships before buying them.
And last but not least, the Elite Dangerous Wiki contains extensive information on nearly all aspects of the game.
