Hi guys, long time old world player "fresh" from the 84 version which was my first ever game on a "floppy disk"!!
A couple of queries, regarding starting out - as I've flown a couple of missions and killed a pirate for bounty already! But in looking at my galactic map I seem to have started in the back end of nowhere - does the game randomise your starting system or is there logic to it?
Secondly (and I'm deliberately not giving my starting point as I don't want to get too many "spoilers" if you like from the very helpful folk around) is there a way I haven't found yet of identifying more technologically advanced stations and or systems - and coupled with this would folk recommend heading towards more populous areas straight away or "jobbing" until I can get a bigger ship?
I get when I jump into systems a "you have identified a new xxx" apparently I can scan these for more money as I'm bumbling around - can anyone point me to an idiot's guide to doing this and the equipment I would need?
Finally - does anyone get along with default keyboard/mouse bindings? Running through the tutorials I rapidly had to change them... I ALMOST set A Z < > for those real oldschoolers out there but settled on one that seems to work for my hands.
Played for a day so far and while I'm only trying my hand in solo play at present until I get the gist I hope to join you all in the big black soon.
