This game needs more from us commanders!

I'm sure I'm not the only one who struggles to find information about this game. It takes quite a bit of googling just to find a clear suggestion for ship loadouts. Information on where known conflicts are is simply not available. There seems to be a lack of a well organized, community based website to manage the intricacies and dynamic developments of the universe in Elite Dangerous. Either that, or it simply eludes me and needs to make itself better known.

There should be consolidated and comprehensive resource for a number of aspects:
-Current systems in conflict.
-weapon and internal component locations.
-Specific Weapon and Internal component statistics (this isn't completely our fault, there just isn't much information made available to us)
-Loadout templates for all, or at least the most popular, ships
-other things I lack the vision to suggest

You might say: "Well CMDR Ruenor, why not get your butt in gear and do it yourself?". To that I say, I am a plebeian consumer lacking in vision and gumption. I need the charismatic, talented, visionary, and organizational betters among us to create these things! Where are you fine gentlemen!

If I'm simply completely ignorant of the existence of such a resource, please enlighten me.

So, basically youre looking for a easy way. "I cant play the game if it (or google) doesnt tell me exactly what to do!"

I blame the modern "Welcome idiots!" gaming design, for taking away what was the most important fun factor in games of my generation: figuring out, how the game works. They have hurt you!

Okay, there are some answers, in hope people like that get bored of the game fast and leave us (and the forum) alone:

The guy reads you the news, as ive heard its difficult for some people to read themselves.

Weapon and components stats: yes, we could use some more info, agreed on that.

But i dont even know how to respond for your other questions. Weapon and internal component locations? Really? Is it not enough to say "check high tech and industrial systems"? Should i list you every place in the galaxy, where you can buy B4 shields? ARE YOU MAD? Also "templates" for the ships? DUDE, let your brain do some work! If youre not using your brain cells, THEY DIE! Try different loadouts, whats stopping you?

Im sorry for the harsh words, OP, but im apalled, i really am...

I repped you for your honesty.
