Thank you all for your help. Rest assured I'm still here and learning! Still in federation (?) Space but now have a mission to leave it. I don't feel ready for that yet however. Some questions that have come up playing, may be answered in the big thread linked, will look at that łater too:
I got the message that my insurance is no longer covered by the federation. Does this have any effect for me as I still fly my first sidewinder? Won't I still get a new free one when I die?
Been getting the hang of flying, can actually operate without flight assist on for longer times before I lose control (but I look somewhat drunk). Managed to orbit an asteroid: approached straight aimed beside it with FA on, turn off FA when perpendicular and turn towards asteroid, full thrust forward and keep aiming at it, continued for a few minutes before I stopped.
I still haven't dared to take any combat missions. Didn't feel very good when I tried the training missions. Are they hard in the starting zone and outside it? Where do I actually see the enemy shield and hull? Watched some videos yesterday but even though the guy mentioned hull integrity of someone I couldn't spot where this was displayed.
Can I explore the federation system in the starting zone? I know I can't return once I leave, so I would like to discover them all if possible. I'm still not sure how to scan things though - do I need a module?
Thank you all for your patience and helpfulness O7
