Alright Commanders listen up, I think this is Hawkes Gaming 3rd video on how to have the best start in Elite Dangerous so pay attention because he knows his stuff. Been watching him for years and helped me get started when I was very lost years ago. I love this game and thank you Hawkes for your service to my favorite space game. o7 Commanders

This is a great guide for what to do but a terrible guide for how to do it. I need a separate guide to figure out how to do half the stuff in this video.

I can consider myself an Elite veteran at this point with 5 accounts and all of them with Fleet Carriers and boat load of money but I'm still here watching Hawkes' video, why? because believe me, he freaking now his stuff, how do you think I did all my grinding on all of those accounts? yes, by following Hawkes' tips. Consider this video as a shortcut to mid-game, without this, you will be flying around aimlessly in space, unless that's what you're really going for, then it's fine. o7 commanders, see you in space.

I would recommend fitting the SCO frame shift drives only from now on, it makes life much easier getting around systems.

I love that you do these every year or so... so helpful. Even for old players there are so many basic things I've forgot over the years. This is really helpful. Thank you for making this!

You really are talented at serving up the sweet sweet space cheddar. Please, keep up the amazing work!

I was sitting at my comp bored. And thought I wonder if Elite Dangerous is still around from being a kick starter back in '14 I'm glad to see the game is still evolving. I'm coming back looks fun still.. Thanks for the video it helped me.

Elite commander here Hawkes but wanted you to know I watched anyway and liked the video. Even I learned a few new tricks. Thank you for all that you do brother. I can’t be the only one with a Robigo python named Hawkes.

Hhhhhhh if only they didn't stop support for the consoles. Miss this game.

Used this guide to finally engineer my fsd and get guardian fsd. Huge help!

Just in time for a couple of personal friends interested in playing. I showed them some of your recent stuff too! And some older stuff that helped me explain some of the hidden fun behind the top layer of Elite. Always excited to see an upload brother!!!!

Hawkes how many planets did you go to to scan life forms ? Plz also ❤ ur content keep it up

Used play elite on Ps4... Had over 1000 hours in twelve months... Had all the ships i wanted... Corvette, anaconda, python, vulture etc etc... All fitted out to grade five maxed out.. Completed trips to colonia and Sag A*... Not to mention reached triple elite... Absolutely loved the game then got fucked over by Frontier not giving a shit about console so over early Odyssey release played less and less till I couldn't justify putting any more time in... Anyhow long story short bought an x box series x twelve months ago (late to the party, 😂) had a moment of madness and bought elite again... Cant even transfer my progress wtf... Now sitting in my entry level sidewinder... I just cant do it all again... I need therapy 😂😂

hey Hawkes just a quick question: is there a build for ground on foot? or is it just upgrading armor and weapon and pew pew?

The information here is all top-notch, however timestamps for important segments, or chapters would be greatly appreciated, as I often can't find the info i'm looking for when scrubbing through the video to the part I need

How do you get the 3rd person camera?

Hello Commander, once again, another excellent and brilliant video for Elite Dangerous. What we will do without YOU. We miss you so much. I hope more videos are coming soon my dear friend. You are an inspiration. No more words than THAT.

A rehash of an already great tutorial, great work man. I used your other guides when i first started. Thanks for the info even I didnt know. keep it up :)

Question for all commanders. With that expansion credit farming method, what kind of info am I looking for? Does it have to be an agricultural/Industrial system or just Agricultural? And what effect does Industrial Failure have on anything?

I mean just like I show you. Yes it has to be agriculture.

I am brand new to this game. How do I know the person is a pirate, when I scan it says wanted is that it?? And no one else is attacking so how do I wait for the health to go low

What happened to the latest video?

Esta bueno, tmb juego ED pero no de esa forma trngo algunos millones una phamton y un type -10

after this video i spent like 3 days to refamiliarized with a tons of commands..and syill do it..but i play this over star citizen any day...hopefully ok someday:)) thx for the videos man..i only watch you in every elite dangerous subject...:))

I recommend starting the game for the first time in Horizons, you get a ship and start in the start zone, then restart in Odyssey.

I sometimes feel like there is missing information, why is moon 3c at 7:30 the best choice?

@LucidDream

Күн бұрын

He said the half-moons represent a landable surface. Then saying that,"In almost every single case life can be found on a planet or moon that has an atmosphere of some type. This is represented by the blue bubble that completely surrounds the landable surface.". With that information 3c is only one with the bubble and not just the half-moon.

I usually don’t make comments without finishing a video, so apologies if this was addressed later. It just really stood out to me in the first few minutes and I wasn’t seeing any addendum or correction forthcoming there. Was this filmed a month or two ago? Why are you recommending a 2A FSD instead of the 2A SCO FSD which is outright much stronger than the 2A (SCO size 2’s actually get the strongest relative boost to jump range over standard) and includes the SCO feature which makes exobiology and DSS scanning *much* more engaging (and faster)? For just about 300k total I got a new start friend into a 22-24 (can’t remember the exact number) light year per-jump sidewinder, which was enough for them to easily get the 100k-1mil exploration systems right by chandler’s rest. For some reason it seems some systems near there give exploration data on all planets simply for entering the system (which I don’t get anymore after getting some ranks, so not sure if it’s a bug or some new player help feature) which lets you get the funds for a DSS basically immediately, and an Artemis suit, from which you can DSS the several earthlike or terraformed earthlikes in nearby pilot’s federation systems for additional easy exploration data starting funds. Definitely more than enough for the hauler let alone going straight up to a DBX or Asp (though without doing some extra work wouldn’t recommend it, think you don’t have enough to fully outfit the asp, probably enough for the DBX). The Erravate system is pretty near to the horizon’s starter area and the odyssey one, sort of halfway between them, and has a 1.7m exploration payout from DSS the ELW and HMCs, and has a planet with fonticula (3.7m or something like that) and bacteria (we couldn’t easily find the bacteria though, so didnt spend time gathering it). With SCO the whole process basically just took as long as the DSS mini game takes, which is pretty quick with a tutorial going over the basics, per planet. Aside from the fonticula, which requires doing exobiology. All of this data is from helping a friend learn game mechanics over this last weekend (2024-05-31 range).

I think you're right about the SCO and the filming being done a few months ago. It says supercut, so it seems like this is more of a cut of a "Get a Fleet Carrier ASAP" challenge run - which is also cool. But it's hardly a 2024 beginners guide if it doesn't at least mention SCO. I can't see any drawbacks to it so I was hoping he would address it.

@guhak

@@EnderGraff1 SCO drives have two incredibly niche drawbacks, three of you count being a little more expensive than the non-SCO class A drive (and even that gets countered by the fact a class *D* SCO drive is usually as strong as a class *A* non-SCO drive, while being significantly cheaper). 1) You can’t undersize an SCO drive, some people have use cases where they extremely want to be as light as possible for real space top speed and so will equip the smallest FSD possible for their use to cut mass as much as possible. You can’t do that with an SCO drive. 2a) The SCO drives are not better than the class 6 and 7 (if a class 7 existed) pre-engineered FSD drives in jump range, ever so slightly. In exchange having the SCO feature though. 2b) Additionally, the SCO drives in jump range are not better than a pre-engineered FSD of *any* size, except the size 2 iirc (which doesn’t have a pre-engineered anyway), for the same amount of fuel. I.e. they’re not as fuel efficient. The only reason they slightly beat out the max jump range for sizes between 3 and 5 is because of being able to use more fuel at max range. So if you really cared about economical plotting, doing a series of as short as possible hops, and had a pre-engineered drive for your ship size, you could choose to use that over the SCO drive technically. They’re all pretty niche though as you can see, and mostly only apply to the double engineered drive which only the class 5 would even be available to a new player, the others being from past CGs only.

The RES search tool, while also still exists, is no longer maintained or supported.

What you are showing is the best start for players who already played for about a year before.

You must mean actually completes the training scenarios and starts like I did with a brand new account and Commander.

Great guide! I do have a question about the FSD, why not SCO? It seems like its always nice to have the option and I don't see any drawbacks if you just don't use SCO if you're low on fuel.

Been watching your vids since 2015, great to see you again commander. I hope you and your family are doing well. o7

Why wouldn't you give us amounts to buy at the material trader at 19:14? This guide is very helpful but as a new player you are glaring over some very needed explanations.

Awesome vid. I just split my Elite videos to a new channel, with a playlist for other CMDRs with helpful stuff - put yours right there!

I'd love to know more about how to do cargo hauling for profit if anyone has tips. I think I'm misreading the trade menu.

Hey Hawkes, i just transferred my save over to PC from console and own odyssey. I had billions and multiple engineered ships already, thanks to your past videos. Do you have a guide for transferring players or can you recommend one, because i dont know where to start now that im here in odyssey. Thanks

I have been playing this for years. This is a great video for new starters

If you modify your route settings to have only KGBFOAM stars you will always be able to scoop the star. If you turn off the lights of your SRV in low light conditions actually helps spotting things because the rest of the image on your screen will not be dimmed. What if I don't have any friends?

It's embarrassing to need an out of game resource within the first 5 minutes of the video :( In Elite Dangerous you can't look at the galaxy map to filter ships or modules. In 2024 you can't look up module/ship availability via in game methods. I wonder why? The data exists otherwise the out of game resources won't exist either so why can't FDEV provide that functionality in game?

Thanks for the video, I am a veteran player, but you did remind me of some farming sites.

Space cheddah!

Right on commander !

is it me or has the crashed anaconda gone?

I've put a like on this video even before I watch it... it's that good.

@HawkesGaming is it so hard to just put a list on the componants on screen>??? your all over the place a it can be hard to follow. i just flew back 20 jumps missing 3 gardian parts as i i did the site twice just like to said! other wise this tut is reall usefull to a 10year returning player.

Love your content. But with 25bn credits and every ship fully upgraded in my ED account and just having re stared playing SC selfishly I'd love a guide for SC 3.23 instead. P.S. how do you find enjoyment in ED these days? I learned from you so surely your account must be even more maxed out

I’ve heard some folk say your tip to seek out player groups who are in expansion might be disruptive to their BGS!

Now it took me awhile with my python to make billions for a fleet carrier about a days play. I made 6.5 billion evacuating refugees and became elite trader level 5. The cutter can make more per hour, but the appropriate landing zone takes longer to reach, thus slowing down the grind.

Can you do a best start vid for Eve Online?

The system Summerland might still provide a better discount for the cutter and any imperial ships

I think you don’t need it to be player faction. I did same 50m missions with federation

I remember when horizon was a second job because of "personal narrative" got my corvette and Fer de lance decked with the best rolls from the engineers then later frontier stabbed me in the back when they dropped console from odyssey. I will never forgive them ever EVER!

To play elite you need 3 things 1.elite 2. 3rd party sites to help you 3.hawkes gaming videos

"How to Have the Best Start in Elite Dangerous Odyssey?" First, purchase a mid-range (or high range) computer. That is first and foremost, since the game doesn't play in any other format (unless you're into Legacy stuff).

Exactly, otherwise enjoy the slideshow. Especially on foot.

I think this "get rich quick" videos is doing big harm to the game. Players do not even get the opportunity to enjoy the game, do the job and get paid, make things actually worth... Instead they quickly get all the ships and then what? Relog farming? The only thing left is to bitch about lack of materials which would not have happened if the game was played in normal way.

Get rich quick? I made money on day one and then on day six. It was not quick by any standards of the word. What I did do though was go from sidewinder to fleet carrier as well as a few other things and the full material grind for ships. Whats to do after that? Pretty much anything they want. Or they can come to a video and then be sour about experienced commanders sharing knowledge with new players. I guess they could do that too.

@@HawkesGaming Dunno, I played that way earlier and got bored after 1-2 weeks. But the slow approach, no grind, no relog farming... really got me invested. I don't want to do "anything" without any goal, I want a target to reach. And FD made the game for this approach; it is a marathon, not a sprint. Think of any other sandbox game. You don't get everything overnight right? Once you do, you restart the game because it has no challenge and no goal anymore.

​@@hellgeist_ Well SC is not even a game, it is a barrel of lies and bugs. But FD really messed things up when they didn't add some guides, like NPCs chatting about places to see, or revealing stations with pre-engineered gear, rumors about sights to see... instead of useless chat they do now. Or even better, a bartender like the one in old Pirates! game. Build reputation and then it would spawn high-risk high-reward missions, or task them to find missions with specific materials you need. And more personal missions like some rich family wants you to find their kidnapped member, a chain of missions as you hunt them across the bubble. I think this would be a great way to help the players, be very immersive, and it would reduce the need for 3rd party tools.
