Hey all,
I first played ED over three years ago with a DK2, but didn't play much and mostly just flew around stations in awe of VR. I had a couple year period of no play and now I am back - and have some typical newbie problems!
I have looked for answers - watched many YouTube videos, and cant find answers.
I have gone through multiple stations within my 7.5 jump range and cannot find missions I can do. Some youtube videos say I am supposed to get a new commander mission that gives me a data run......?
1) Is this correct?, and am I not getting this because I didn't complete the last training (advanced combat)?
2) I have been through three stations in three populated systems - where do I find one way data delivery missions for total noobs? (or any mission I can do, they all require a higher level, or are well out of my jump range).
3) How do I know how much gas I have!? It moves between .36 something and 1.00 something. Clearly this is not a total and represents something else.... At some point just randomly jumping around is not going to go well and as much as fuel rats sounds like an adventure, not the one I want.
4) Galaxy Map in VR. I have movement within the Galaxy working perfectly via HOTAS, that is actually easy. What I cant do is navigate the two floating menus, or click to focus - even though my trigger is set for that. The Galaxy Map options menu doesn't seem to have UI settings, and relies on the UI settings sub tab. So I cant "tab" right into the system section. That means I jump to the system, then open the system map to navigate to a station. I would prefer to have the system and station set as a destination from the start within the Galaxy Map.
Warned you, typical newbie questions
I will eventually figure out the galaxy map stuff, but when it comes to missions and gas gauge, help please.
Thanks
Scott
