Thar be transient signals, beliken to thee olde degraded signals, like weapons fyre, flotsam and jetsom, handee for thee gathering of materials and salvaging illegal cargoes.
Also there, ye will finde NHSS - non human signal sources. Beware. Lykely thar be Thargoids.
Yar, Thanks be to ye commander!
Mayhaps I be suffering from ye olde space madness. But unless my eyes do deceive me I do not see any signals on the left side. I've seen them in ports close to home and I be able to scan them in the bubble but not out here in the black.

You are misunderstanding the information in your FSS screen. In your screen shot the top right tells you that there are 17 signals and also that there are 17 bodies (2 identified - the stars) - so you see the signals it refers to are those produced by the bodies. If the signals number is bigger than the bodies number then there are things other than bodies in the system - in this case there isn't.

Wow. I feel dumb. Thanks for pointing that out so kindly.
I never even noticed that. I guess the asteroid belts would explain the times that there are more signals than planets.

I think it is an easy mistake to make, don't beat yourself up.
Out in the black, that is mainly true - of course there is the occasional notable stellar phenomena and now and again you can stumble across a signal source containing a data cache (small and large ones - credit wise). In future there will also be the possibility of stumbling across a megaship (fleet carrier) as they give a signal too.
Back towards the bubble there are of course many different types of signal sources to populate the scale.
In addition to the web version of my super-duper in-depth Elite: Dangerous beginners guide, there's now a PDF version also available for download. Many thanks to CMDR Aurelius Borealis for creating and hosting the PDF version.
I am a beginner in Elite Dangerous playing on PC and I found this excellent guide to be invaluable. I am interested in what key bindings you use for the FSS scanner but the link to the full key bindings in the PDF document appears to be missing. I play with a mouse and keyboard. Greatly appreciate any help in this regard.
Thank you, Cmdr Spiritus_Mundi

New player here, though I've owned the game for a very long time. Elite is exactly the type of game I love but I always struggled to get going and turning back to Eve Online. The last two times I tried it I either found myself running on hardware so old my experience wasn't going to be worthwhile OR I struggled so much to find a good control scheme for me that I assumed I was only going to ever get the most out of the game with a proper HOTAS which I wasn't ready to invest in.
Well, I just happened to get a new monitor and GPU and when rummaging through my library for something I wanted to revisit with a better machine, I found ED and decided to try again. Your guide and control settings have been exactly what I needed..... I still had to spend several hours in the tutorial sims adjusting the controls further to get something natural for me, but you gave me the starting point I needed to make that possible.
Now, I just need to find some people to play with and show me the ropes....thankfully your guide has resources for that too.

Hola, tengo un par de preguntas de novato total ... pero como mi inglés es muy malo no he sido capaz de hallar las respuestas ...
Por un lado, no se como aterrizar mi nave cuando llego a una estación, me acerco en el modo lento, me paro cuando el indicador esta de color azul y mi nave esta en el centro de la diana, pero no se que tecla debo pulsar para que la nave se pose ...
Por otro lado, lo que mas me llamaba la atencion era entrar en algun planeta y poder verlo desde la atmosfera, pero no se como hacerlo... por mas que me acerco mi nave no entra en la atmosfera.

no puedes aterrizar en planetas con atmósfera
debes estar en Elite Dangerous Horizon para aterrizar en cualquier planeta
METRO muchas gracias, voy a probarlo ahora mismo, de todas formas, tengo al expansion Horizons asi que deberia poder sobrevolar los planetas o aterrizar... seguire investigando ese tema. Gracias por tu ayuda.
I know that I am late to the party but I just wanted to say a big thank you for this guide. Now that I know a little about everything, your info has helped me fine tune my playing.

купил игру в стиме 2018 не смог запустить (слишком сложный запуск оказался) забросил, теперь спустя 2 года решил поиграть вновь лаунчере пишет демо версию, покупал полную версию при запуске демо все меню в каракулях никак не могу исправить в чем может быть проблема

Thank you so much for your efforts in compiling the intros and the tips in this forum! My eldest son pointed me towards Elite Dangerous as he knew I used to play the version on the BBC Micro. As someone who knew the BBC Micro quite well - including 6502 assembly language - I was astounded at the software engineering involved in squeezing all those systems into the meagre memory and CPU power of the BBC Micro. Having recently upgraded my home PC to a decent spec - including a ray-tracing graphics card (which my youngest son says: "will be wasted on you!") - I was just blown away by the program when I eventually got it to run up. (Why do we have game launchers these days?)
Some help from these forums got me into space and into the training. As my usual PC games consist of (the excellent!) Visual Pinball simulator, it took me a while to suss out the mouse and keyboard controls. As the graphics are so lifelike I think I was overly cautious as I did not want to scratch the paintwork on my ship!
I completed the training modules up as far as the "battle" with the unshielded drone but called a halt at that point as I do not think my blood pressure could take any more yesterday evening.
On the original game I did quite well and I still remember how useful the docking computer was so I intend to get into this version. I adapted a precise analogue joystick for use on the Beeb and that helped greatly so I may look at a joystick to help with this as I found the mouse control a bit abrupt!
Thanks to everyone who contributes again. You have made an old fella quite happy!
