Caedwynhello everyone im 3 days old to this game
I currently been doing assassinations and bounty hunting with my viper mk3 but I am interested in exploring as well.

the biggest issue for my ship right now is that i cant jump 15k distances? The maximum jump is just 6k and i don't even have a cargo section so idk why but i think its probably my fuel tank or fsd ?

also can i do both of this bounty hunting & exploring with the imperial eagle?

QuillmonkeyHi CMDRS and o7 to you all.

Caedwyn - you’ve got some good advice going there but I’d add you should make use of external tools. You can link straight through to EDSY shipyard from your fleet page here and play around with different ship builds. That way you can see which modules give the best bang for your buck.
Ultimately, all ships can be kitted out to work - especially once you get into engineering, so get some money behind you and try out a few. See which you like the best.

This video is 43 mins long but has dome really great tips on playing elite for a new player....it;s focus is onmoney but you;ll need that for all the upgrades you'll want for your ship (s)...also once you leave the newplayer systems add me to friends and we can wing up and do stuff!!!

SuperFrogXProbably a lot has changed since I started, but I can confirm that Road to Riches still works, and I was able in about 30 minutes with Adder make 4.5 mil without even trying. (was bored and did not want to make anything @ engineer, so used exploration data to level it up)

First thing was to tag ships in extraction zone, get enough credits (about 1 million) to get adder and equip it for long range jumps. (not hard to get +20 ly for stocked adder with couple of items removed/replaced)

Adder Starter Explorer

Sidewinder Explorer

Note that sidewinder is half the price, but those extra LY jumps can mean a lot. As you start with road to riches, first thing to upgrade would be rated A scoop, as that will make huge difference, as it will take less time to scoop fuel.

Couple of hours of road to riches and you should have enough for proper mining ship, like Asp Explorer.

QuillmonkeyWelcome CMDR
Got your asp kitted out in time to visit Coalsack?
Now you’ve got got the ships, you’ll need to learn to fly ‘em. That’s where the real fun begins.

Catch you in the black o7
