Isaiah EvansonHe died as he lived - running and screaming.
That was me the other day trying to haul freshly mined Quantanium in Star Citizen. Worth a pretty penny but it's extremely volatile and will eventually explode. It's made worse by the fact that it is still a buggy alpha and half the time activating the quantum drive doesn't work, and you only have a couple minutes remaining to get to a station to safely store it.

EpisparhGankers in Deciat do not even bother with couriers.
CMDR StupidDumbDumb does. He interdicted me once, according to my logs.
That Courier must have been really bare bones. Boost speed >850 requires drag drives and very lightweight builds.

1.) Run station data transfer missions to get enough credits to outfit a small exploration ship.
2.) Buy and outfit small exploration ship.
3.) Google "elite dangerous road to riches" and begin working your way through it. This gives you a list of systems with valuable planets for scanning which you bring back and exchange for more credits at Universal Cartographics. Play in solo mode to avoid gankers.
Set a goal of earning enough to buy and outfit the longest range ship you can in preparation for unlocking engineers and gathering engineering materials. My choice was an Asp Explorer. The Diamondback Explorer is also a good choice.

You need something that can jump at least 10ly and fly straight without falling apart. And a DSS.
