As in life, not everything comes easily or instantaneously. Take your time, learn the game.

 

[Yngvi]

For xbox: remap your boost or landing gear combo so they are separate.
For PC: don't map your boost and landing gear keys near each other.

 

[Esso]

Read.

Space is infinite, the only limitations are what you place on yourself.

 

[Naughtius Maximus]

Learn when you are beaten and it's time to run... flogging a dead horse in battle will only get you killed, and NEVER, repeat NEVER spend your insurance money (no matter how tempted).

 

[=TK=]

Buy a kill warrant scanner early on, it will help you get out of the Sidewinder much faster

 

[Gavin Burke]

When planning for your next ship, remember the module costs too (a poorly equipped Anaconda is worse that an A rated Sidewinder!) and most importantly factor in insurance costs to make sure you have more than 5% of your total spend left!!

Sex is always worth the rebuy.

Don't boost in stations.

lol. Figured that one out when i just couldn`t get a landing. Rotated around in frustration- Instant land!

My noob tip that`s really obvious except to me- The game plays in REAL TIME even solo. If you have 4 hours left to do a job, don`t quit and sleep overnight!

 

[Tinnian Maso]

Avoid combat zones if you have no idea what they are for.

 

[BarbusMaximus]

If you are on keyboard and mouse re-map keys as the defaults make docking infuriating.

 

[Hanz Sorensen]

When going through Missions look for more than one mission going to the same place before you hit Accept. Sometimes you can find 2 or 3 Missions from one Station that all have the same destination.

Data does not take up Cargo Space.

If using Mouse/Keyboard get Thrustmaster T-Flight X Hotas ($50), makes ED so much better. Like you are piloting a spaceship. Tons better experience for $50.

If using a Console, get a PC.

 

[J.Dee]

Wear your Brown Flightsuit, you will never know when you jump into a close-orbiting Binary system.

 

[CMDR xX_Phaethon_Xx]

Install EDMC (Elite Dangerous Market Connector). It populates EDDB (Elite Dangerous Data Base) with the data most are using, but not populating. Everyone benefits from more data.

Nothing in E is a grind, the time between E sessions is the grind

 

[CMDR Takeda Shingen]

1) If you are on KB & M, then X is your best friend, your confidante, your lover. Get to know her intimately and she will save your sorry     many times over.

2) Google 'Voice Attack' [yesnod]

You're welcome !

 

[Deadme4t]

Don't take smuggling missions and then go hunting for pirates. Those scans just hurt.
