Newcomer / Intro E:D Lore and finding the sites to experience it?

Hi all,

Not so much as a newcomer, but more of a returning player and just finding out it has a lore.

Long story short, I have been extensively reading up on Elite's lore (and it has SO much, very much interesting). My sources were mostly from Wiki (as I do not know what I'm searching for, just following up articles and diving into more and searching for things I read but did not understand).

There has been so many things I've missed, but in readings there seems to be places or sites I can visit to experience the aftermath, or immerse myself in lore by visiting those places. Such as "Jameson Crashsite", Barnacles, and I even just finished reading about the "Ghost" ship.

Every now and then I'd hop into reddit/FD forums to read anything I missed, and I'm planning a few trips.

Could some kind CMDR point out some places that has a story to visit? I've read about the data logs on a megaship, and Dav's hope.

But where do players know where to visit? Is there a place to read about this? Or is there a mission I could take to tell me to visit such places?

I feel I'm lost, but I also feel I missed out so much that I do not know where to go.


I have a friend who recently joined me in the game, if he just knows 20% of what I know about the lore and the CG that happened (like Gnosis and thargoid attacks in nebula) I'm confident he'll be hooked. I got more hooked when I understand the lore, and I know I only covered maybe 60%.

TL;DR:
What I'm trying to ask is:
  • what interesting places or a route I can take with my friend to enjoy some of game's lore, or missions we could take?
  • Where can I read up more of game's lore that happened and can experience it (like specific planets that had a story behind, or an area where it has data etc..)

There's so much for a returning or a new player is missing, and I regret I missed those opportunity. Feels like I missed my high school education and been put into master's degree.
 
Forgot to mention there is a livestream about E D Lore this evening Thurs 9 Sept:

 
You might already know about the Canonn site, handling a lot of the puzzles and ingame missions.
Then there's Drew's Lore Tour.
I recently did use Canonn site, but I couldn't find the infos regarding several site lores, such as jameson crashsite and its lore, as well as thargoid crash sites, which I got from wiki.

Thanks for the Drew Lore, I'm going to dive into that, just saw the first video and very interesting, filling in the gaps what I needed!



You can also try EDSM - it has a galactic map with a key to turn on and off various sites and locations to visit including generation (ghost) ships

I have been using EDSM, and I never knew it had that function. Thank you.

Just in time for me to dive in!

Thank you guys for the recommendations!
