PhelboreI would argue Beagle point is more fitting than Sag A*, but... your tune will change as you learn the game. Cap ships and Thargoids are cool, but not worth going out of your way for. The starter planets to the Imp Capitol is trivial compared to the Pleiades, it'll drive you mad. Want to see a Thargoid? Multi-crew with someone out that way. Isn't there a Xeno Hunting multicrew option?


Ok I just looked up beagle point i am never getting there, it's literally on the complete opposite of the map! I would actually need to go THROUGH Sig a to get there!

Beagle point is just about as far from the bubble (human inhabited space, minus the Pleiades and Colonia) as you can get.  The Pleiades is where Thargoids are, about 300ly out (with no stations on the way).  Colonia's 22,000 out near the core.  Are you on PC?

Colonia? Never heard of it, and no I have Xbox one and how the heck am I supposed to get to the thargoids home if there's no stations?

Fuel scoops. This is a huge game. I like your enthusiasm, but I think it's best to temper your ambition now, it takes time to do anything. You'll need patience.

I don't think that's true, the end of this game if there is one in my opinion is going to the center of the galaxy, but I don't plan on doing that until ashling Duvall rules supreme...


Lol...sounds like a sceptical troll

Yeah...don't get me wrong this game, I love it, it's the most beautiful game iv ever seen. But it's really difficult at times like getting to Sig a? Or beagle point? That could take so long, maybe even months, and the game is just REALLY time consuming. The only thing I really want right now, is to get a ship that can take a lot of hits, and can transport a lot, but cc is hard to get I mean I don't understand how people get annacondas, I saw one at a station for sale, it costed more than 100 MILLION CC! I only have 100k cc

This game does take months, years even. Here's the thing tho, bigger ships make more money. Save up, buy a bigger ship, repeat. A top notch Sidewinder might make a couple hundred thousand an hour. A Beluga will pull 10-15 million an hour. Work your way up. Oh, and do jobs for the same minor faction(s). The more they like you, the better the pay. It's good to have a home system.

My home system was everate, centrally located, good place for trade, but i wanted to see the empire cuz I didn't like the federation, now I'm trying to look for a place but I want to try to get to ashling Duvalls capital. I've heard that conflict zones can get you a lot, why? I went to one, tried to fight and I died, found another one, just watched and none dropped anything useful, my main problem is I can't play online or at least not with over 100 people, my WiFi is bad

Sethsepticeye1Thanks, my only real complaint with this game is that sometimes it's very difficult and complicated. Oh and 1 other thing...HOW THE HECK ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BUY THE ANNACONDA!? THAT THING COSTS OVER A 100 MILLION CC!!!


I got mine doing passenger missions and selling the exploration data that came with it. Got the Anaconda in a little under two weeks.

Totally new to the game a CZ will eat you alive. They're good money from bonds once you know how to fight. I don't want to keep filling the board with this back and forth, drop me a message on discord (it's free and will run in your browser).

Sethsepticeye1Hello! I'm kinda new to this game, I've got a cobra mk 3 and some alright weapons. Do any of you have advice for getting lots of cc? Right now I'm trying to buy a 1 million credit cargo ship




How new are you?


Eh about a day worth of gameplay, FINALLY after a trip through hell I made it to akanar the capital of the empire, I started off near everate so it took awhile



If memory serves, Achenar is a permit-locked system. Did you actually go there, or just near there your first day?

I don't know how I get permits, I just plotted a route, and went there, the federation sucks so I wanted to be in imperial space, best decision I've made, empire pays me more
