Another tip for newcomers: Before you visit engineers or super popular systems, switch to solo play until you are ready for a fight. Gankers and griefers spend all their time near engineer stations. With their fully engineered ships, you don't stand a chance in your sidewinder.

I literally do none of this. I'm a very chilled player and the freedom to do what you want on this game is never highlighted enough. I just land on moons and take off again. I create my own relationships in each station and mentally remember that I have a wife and child in the R.A System. And I never carry weapons as I just do transport missions. Commoditie trading etc. Buy low sell high. I use an online guide for that and I plan multi drops. I end up very busy haha. Feels like an honest job. Eventually I'll be able to buy a big ship for me and my made up family. I did recently obtain the sol pass and about 2 years ago I thought I'd never get it but decided to grind it out. I'm glad I did. However how I feel like I don't dare leave sol as it's too amazing. They did such a great job on this game. I play on xbox one. Can't wait for odyssey

Yes, but in my opinion will be a lot more "simple" in the form: don't get me wrong, this is not a bad thing, because I personally believe that star citizen's developers are trying to do something that probably is too complicated in terms of content and they tried to do multiple tasks instead of focusing in few things (like core mechanics and less explorable planets but with more content).

You really don't need to feel intimidated. You can learn at a steady pace and accomplish loads whilst doing that and once you've learned stuff, you can start to learn more. Get used to flying your ship and doing a few missions - trade and combat - then start to upgrade to a better ship and think about engineering to improve it even more. Regarding Engineering, a word to the wise: most people, when starting on engineering, go for the obvious first choice, which is to upgrade their FSD for bigger jump range. To do that, you need to go to the Deciat system and griefers/gankers know this! Make sure you go into Solo mode when visiting this system to avoid the knuckle-draggers until a time as you can at least have a chance to defend yourself.

brilliant video, I loved every second of it

I haven’t played in over a year and just came back for the greatly increased bounty voucher payouts. I made 25 mil in around two hours. Maybe I’ll get a fleet carrier....in a year or two

I also have returned and I don't know if u remember me but we used to talk about how elite seemed it was early access lol that was a few years ago. I returned to maia and found your voice in obsidian orbital fairplay salute to you 👍

Also worth noting is Mobius, who provide a PVE Co-op Experience for Elite: Dangerous. All it can take is one rather nasty person to come blow you up for no reason and set you back quite a bit, and we as humans have this thing called 'negativity bias.' If you don't wanna fight other players, or would rather avoid getting ganked while still having some form of Open play, check 'em out

Hello ObsidianAnt, I have got a question. Your gameplay footage looks quite good in this wide aspect ratio and I am thinking about switching to 21:9 myself. Can you please tell me what monitor screen you are using to play Elite Dangerous? Thank you very much

Thanks for a very good guide, much appreciated.

Just got this and apparently I've been blessed in the timing of the dev. Cycle so I needed to know all this

Are there large scale pvp battles with big ships and something like that?

Great video as always, so great to have so many new players coming to Elite, just got hack into my 2nd account but should have gone mining last week for some money!

I've been gaming for a very long time on console and PC and I can't remember ever looking forward to an update, expansion, Title like am for Elite Dangerous Odyssey. ED is tight and complete as it is now and if they do LEGS as well as they done everything else so far...this is going to be a WOW moment. Star Citizen is showing improvement towards completion but I just know Frontier has GOT this and "Can't Wait" for this game changer.

7:50 absolutely destroyed by youtube compression lol

As a console player I don't get Odyssey yet. But I'll take this time to learn. I'm currently trying to get some guardian tech. The Thargoids following that one ship makes me think they may attack Sol. Now I'm an Empire player but I definitely want to protect the cradle of humanity. Im really excited about being able to run around with my own legs and shoot a rifle.

I just got the game the other day since I was told it was close to No Man's Sky and EVE. Have been loving the game! Currently I'm grinding Exploration with my Cobra through Road to Riches so I can buy an Anaconda. The only thing I'm lost on atm - Is what to do next and the "middle" to "end game" purpose.

Thanks for this..lot to learn in this game. Bloody understatement that haha

btw you said the odyssey view video was in the description can't find it.

I come and go fairly often from ED. I never really know what to do however, so I do my own thing for awhile till I tire of it then move onto another game. I do keep coming back though. Playing alone is part of my issue, and not really knowing what I could or should be doing is the other.

So I just got into E:D I've figured out how to navigate 4 and more systems ahead using the galaxy map, plotting routes avoiding hazards, like super cruising or hyper jumping near a star... yeah that's not good. Also figured out when you are silent, don't attempt to move. I am on an Xbox One X. If you're knew and can figure out how the star system routes works, do the courier missions first and upgrade your sidewinder. Don't worry about buying a new one. The next few ships won't even compare at first and the loaners are good enough for those missions. I had almost 200k in 6 missions mostly going from space station to space station. Maybe I got a lucky roll, idk how the game works just yet. Seems really fun and I'm glad I went through the tutorial!

Elite Racers: Elite dangerous racing club and Elite Pirates provide a lot of likely minded people to some other type of activities. Also Fleetcomm HQ is pretty good community.

I’m new to the game and this video makes me love it even more.

I really was waiting for a game like this!

Just started elite over the weekend in part because I randomly found this channel last week. So much detail I hopped out and just chilled in the tutorial all weekend. Tutorial isn't very helpful lol. I enjoy the game tho. This channel helps a ton.

I have an idea for you. Do a new player Q&A format series, where you answer questions posed 1 to 2 weeks ago. For example, how do you scoop fuel? I think after 20 to 30 stars I've figured it out, but for all I know there's a much better way. Another example is where and how to buy drones. This 1 i think I researched enough an hour ago, but can't try till I get home. I frequently find things like, here's how to use the drones, but how to get them was clear as mud, and I had to dig through Reddit a while. I'm sure your viewers will have plenty of fodder for you remembering what they found confusing when they started...

At its simplest, Supercruise Assist will try to put you into orbit around the planet, then you just have to wait until the station is ahead and point your ship at it when the angle to the station is around 60 degrees. Too steep and you'll see red warnings and have to back off for another approach, to shallow and you have to wait while you fly at slow sub orbital speeds. The docking computer will do the actual final landing just like at a space station.

When and if I get my psu back from cooler master after a month of them having it sit there I'll try elite again hopefully I'll something to make the next experience better.

More I search the more I get hyped, excited and fascinated about the game. This is pretty much realistic and next level game.

Yeah but what do you do if you're ship has stopped moving and you're above a planet, I've tried hyperspace but uuhhh, I just can't move
