Re: Tips and Tricks for a Brand New player

Here's something else that just came up with me that could be avoided. I'm knocking out the last 40% to EliteX by doing passenger missions in Ceos. A lot of them reward cargo and, if you don't have a cargo hold, you can't complete passenger mission. They'll just sit there in the cabin and you don't ...

Re: HOTAS set up & SRV

On my Thrustmaster, button 5 is my "thruster mod" button. With that pressed, the hat does forward/backward/left/right and the rocker on the throttle does up and down. I've ended up putting a couple other engine/thrust commands on that same button. Like B5+B8 is FSD to supercruise.

Re: Tips and Tricks for a Brand New player

I've got a couple dozen hours in and here's the things I've figured out that I wish I had known earlier. Don't sweat too much about what system you start out in. Just pick a decent-sized system near where you start that has a station close to the star and start doing your thing. If you want a system...
