Forgive me if this has been done before; a search yielded no results.
Dock placidly amid the chaos and haste, and remember what peace there may be in the starport hangar. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all commanders.
Post on the forum courteously and clearly; and listen to others, even the new and the inexperienced; they too have their input.
Avoid impatient and aggressive players, they are vexations to the gameplay. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser commanders than yourself.
Enjoy your trading runs as well as your combat engagements. Keep interested in your own pilot career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of the game.
Exercise caution in your trade decisions; for the market is now full of fluctuations. But let this not blind you to what credit accumulation there is; many commanders strive for high profits; and everywhere gameplay is full of richness.
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign comradery. Neither be cynical about Anaconda owners; for in the face of all envy and suspicion they are really not code hackers.
Take kindly the counsel of the Alpha backers, gracefully surrendering the things of noobness.
Nurture skills of power management to shield you in sudden collisions. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and constant interdictions.
Beyond constructive criticism, be gentle with the developers. You are a tester of the game, no less than the Alpha backers; you have a right to play. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the procedurally-generated galaxy is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with Frontier Developments, whatever you conceive them to be, and whatever your credit acquisition and mission completion rate, in the noisy confusion of the starport keep peace with your spacecraft. With all its bugs, ganking, and broken netcode, it is still a beautiful game. Be cheerful. Strive to be Elite!
