With the release of Elite: Dangerous on Steam, I felt inspired to put together a video covering some of the basics about getting started in navigating the galaxy; there are a lot of great guides out there for various topics in the game, but I figured I could put something together that acts as a primer (a guide before the guides) to get players started in this ginormous sandbox of a space simulator. Something high level enough to scratch the surface of what it means to fly a spaceship around, either for a new player wanting to gain some quick understanding of the task before them, or a prospective player on how the game plays and a few tips and tricks.
For these audiences, I wanted to craft something that had a decent amount of polish to it such that it conveys the information but also hopefully entertains throughout the duration, which I capped in my outline at 15 minutes. This made it a challenge to get in all the information that I wanted after I had finished recording the footage, and there are definitely a few things that I had to gloss over rather than delve deeper into for the sake of time, but this guide should suffice to familiarize yourself with some of the core concepts in Elite: Dangerous. Let me know what you think!

Anyone who might ask about the HUD Customization, I use the following:

Code:
<MatrixRed> 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 </MatrixRed>
<MatrixGreen> 0, 0.3, 0 </MatrixGreen>
<MatrixBlue> 1, 0.1, 0 </MatrixBlue>
