hello CMDR!

so I've been bounty hunting and trading for way to long and wanted to get into exploring!

now im sorta completely lost and dont feel like reading 100000 pages on what is worth scanning and and trying to figure that out on my own sooo

I thought of doing the guide * road to riches * i figured what better way to know what to explore by following a guide that tells you what to explore. LOL ( instead of reading 10000 pages )

in the guide i see abbreviations like: TWW , HMC and ELW

what does that even mean? can some one clear that up for me?

thanks!

Terraformable Water World, High Metal Content world, Earth-Like World.

I suggest you go to the Foundation thread linked in my signature and look up both the acronym guides and the new player guides there. :) It's all sorted out for you already.

EDIT: that guide doesn't tell you what to explore, it tells you what to scan to make money fast. Exploring is a whole other matter and a fast-money guide won't teach you much about it.

RIIIGHT! thanks a million CMDR! ill be sure to check out that link as well :)
i just figured if this guide gives you good cash then im scanning the right things for exploring?

i guess i need to not think about exploring as a means to making cash but as a means to discover!

If you ignore the values in the table on the Exploration Wikia (they're still not updated to the 2.3 numbers), that page is a good source to learn the basics of exploration. There is an image link on the Wikia to a better value summary on planets and stars.
There is a lot more to it than what you can find there, but I think it's a good summary of what to think on.
Browsing through engineers and their perks on Inara, to see what mods can reduce weight or increase planet side speed, and experimenting with builds and their engineering effects on Coriolis is also worthwhile.
Long story short on the actual exploration part; learning where the goldilocks zone is on each star type will make you rich.
