Indecisive NewtSorry, this is late...
I have recently joined Inara and intend to do some role play. I already have posted a few times.


Don't worry about being late! I never did any introduction at all!

Just make yourself at home, and, be carefull for that Morgan woman... She's got the tendency of drugging newcomers. Or so I've heard...

He wasn't a newcomer, he knew what he was getting into.

Another new commander here,

first time in Elite since my Spectrum died about 35 years ago

Just bought a PS4, so delighted to see that Elite Dangerous had recently launched. I bought the game discounted off the PSN store, no manual and not much clue.

I've hung around and picked off some bounties after letting the space police do most of the hard work, and joined a wing here.

Any pointers towards decent guides (I had to look up how to pay a fine and claim my bounties) would certainly be appreciated.

I'm hoping to focus on a bit of Trade & Exploration, whilst being able to defend myself (or run away!) so a steer as to what ships / equipment etc I ought to be looking at (heh, and how to actually explore?) would be very handy

Thanks

for exploring you will need an advanced discovery scanner, detailed surface scanner, decent fuel scoop and a decent jumping ship (hauler, cobra 3, asp explorer, db explorer, anaconda) and a end goal that could be colonia, sag a or even beagles point

Hello Ti3004, and welcome to Inara.

There is a decent set of training videos accessible from the game's main menu. These cover all the most important aspects of ED. There're also several training scenarios to have a go at.

The net has quite a few player-made tutorials, of varying quality. You'll learn something from all of them, if you have the patience to sit through them!

A Google search on any specific issue will often come up with an answer, usually taking you to the official Frontier Forum or a reddit group.

You can also ask here, on Inara. We're a mostly very friendly community, and very happy to assist with genuine queries on any part of the game. You can nearly always find a few of us on the Inara Discord channel, so don't be afraid to jump in!

As for ships and exploring, tobi has given some suggestions. The Cobra III is a good all rounder, and the Asp Explorer will get you far. The best thing to do, though, is experiment and find something you like for yourself. ED isn't a game to win, it's a game to play and enjoy.

Take care out there.

Welcome Ti3004.

As Jem said, the Consulting the Great Google Machine can result is a a fair amount of help, tutorials, and posts. Fan made tutorials can be hit and miss.

Don't be afraid to ask questions here or the discord.

There are various people here who have areas of expertise.

If your looking for PvP, Phisto is your man.

BGS, look to the Pirate Queen, Marra.

Exploration, Apex does a fair amount

Pirating related activities, Marra and myself.

All around good advise and encouragement, Jem.

I hope you have been enjoying the game so far.

Many more are able to assist as well.

Everyone new to Elite and Inara, see you out there in the black. Hopefully on good terms.

For exploring, Colonia is far for a first timer. The inky black of the Coalsack is nice. For farther, Eta Carina is a sight to see.
