Welcome, and I don't think so.

Empire, Federation, Alliance only matter for Powerplay reasons. And perhaps Lore wise a little bit, if you're into Roleplaying.

In game itself it makes absolute zero difference for yourself. As CMDR you have to start to work your way up in the Ranks of both Empire and Federation if you want to attain certain unlockable ships that each side sells.

Also you need to build your Reputation with the various Minor factions (MF) inside each System. The higher your standing with them, the better the missions you'll be getting and the higher the payout is.

Though there are many types of missions who aren't worth bothering with, but that knowledge will come in time, either by getting told or finding out yourself.

Jemine CaesarHello FlippingYoda, and welcome to Inara.

You've probably found yourself involved in some combat already, but if you're looking at preparing for CZs then I'd recommend you look for a Resource Extraction Site first. Pick one of the ordinary ones in a medium security system, and you'll be able to deal with targets more or less at your leisure. There are often system security patrols on hand, so stay close to them. Oh, and don't take any cargo with you into a RES, or you'll be scanned and attacked.

Apologies if you know all this already!

Take care out there.

I took your advice and was doing OK until I accidentally hit one of the internal security patrols (oops). I did not last long after that haha.

Situational awareness is key - even more so in a CZ furball!

Watch your scanner and try to be aware of what ships are around you and where they are in relation to you. You can hear their engines and weapons if they are close. Fire in short, controlled bursts - don't hold the trigger down unless you are certain you have a clear line to the target without anything else around you.

Good luck!

You're very welcome. Marra has given some excellent extra advice. If you're using Flight Assist Off (and you really ought to practice this if you haven't used it yet) then watch out for the rocks. It's easy to drift into one and cause yourself damage.
