ShanistaHello all,

Relatively new to ED, been flying for a little while now. Mostly solo after being ganked, looking to meet new people and exploring new places in Elite.

hope to see you out there!


Welcome to the ED galaxy. You might want to checkout player groups like Fleetcom or Mobius. Ganking is strictly forbidden in these kind of groups - which allows you to experience interactions with other commanders without worrying of getting ganked.

Hi, don’t how how this game went under my radar for the past 30 years... lol. Just got it for Xbox almost two weeks ago and I am loving every aspect of it so far... with the exception of not being able to walk around your space craft this game is everything I would have wanted a space game to entail. I look forward to many adventures and maybe meeting some of you!

Welcome, Mike.
Enjoy the game! Make your own way in the Elite 'verse - cause it won't hold your hand. That being said, feel free to ask questions in the appropriate board, we're happy to help.

Welcome Shanista.

Gankers can be fun. There are so many ways to annoy them.

Thank you. I love how you can really be just about anything... that said I have been reading and watching as much as I can about this game as there is a lot in it... a bit overwhelming at first, but that is a good sign as there is Nothing like a good game that bores you after a week.

Welcome back and o7 Commander! I'll be joining you as soon as I can get my new box. The old AMD is starting to creak and groan a little. See you out there!

Welcome to the game, Shredderftl9547! I'm not on much these days, but I can offer advice:

1) Don't fall too hard into the "credit per hour" mantra. People who do this will find the "endgame" very very boring and grindy. Relax, enjoy the open-ended gameplay and have fun.
2) Yes, there are gankers. But don't let them stop you from enjoying Open Play. They will generally hang out at CGs and popular systems. It's rare that I find another person while I'm out and about in Open. Just learn how to deal with them (it's easier than people think), and if that doesn't work: Group or Solo the system to avoid the one harassing you.
3) While not important to the gameplay itself, learning the lore of the game can enhance your experience. Since the game is very open-ended (a true sandbox that you just exist in), you have to make your own story.
4) There is no true "best ship/weapon in the game", every ship/part/weapon has it's specific use. Learning what ship is best for what activity is half the job. The other is practice.

This is all extremely solid advice. Cheers and welcome to all commanders!
