New to ED couple quick questions

[Doc_Refine]

I am a long time EVE player so I understand how the learning curve works. I do have a few quick questions however:

1. Ship and Weapon descriptions seem to be very vague and unclear as to what goes where. Is there a guide or in game manual to show what weapons class is an improvement or is it just higher the $ the better the weapon?


2. Trading also seems quite odd you collect data from systems however I have not figured out how to use this data or even see it for that matter on the commodities exchange. (ex. open the exchange in system a after leaving system b is there a way to see what sys A supplies vs what sys B demands) If there is I have just not figured it out yet, if not maybe this is something which could be added as special information to sell.

These are just a few questions I have regarding the game. It is a major upgrade for me over EVE, I love that I actually get to use a flight stick in combat instead of warp in F1 switch target F1 loot warp out.

BTW if there are any guides for noobs like me please post a link.

Thank You

This has been some help:

Weapons has a size class too.. you can't add on a module that is too big. Also, just because it fits doesn't mean you can power it, that has to match as well...


If the commodity you can select one row, on the right the trade data shows who stuff can go to or where you can go to bring it to there where you are.

Many people change their keymapping, especially if they use voiceAttack

Guide that helped me a lot is here

For selling collected information about new planets, etc, you go to Universal Cartographics. Scroll down, there you can sell your data (Picture is taken from Forger's manual)

Forger has the best guide out there to date. On my phone now, can't really post a link easily, but search for his name in the forums...
