Cmdr Steel-Boot here thanks for accepting me. I played elite years ago ago (first version) on C64 then again on Amiga and loved it hence I thought I'd finally give this ago. I can say its easier to dock now than it used to be thankfully

I've been playing (well overcome and lost) solo and wanted so help etc. Started with keyboard and mouse, then Xbox 360 controller and struggled like mad now onto a HOTAS and life is a litte more bearable and I have ASTRA for company when she listens to me. I'm astonded by the size of the game but have no clue what direction to go currently registered to PvE.
I currently have 3 ships all upgraded as far as they need to be
1. Cobra III (set up currently for multi missions but have all the bits stored for fighter config)
2.Viper III
3. T6 (running a ship without weapons feels odd but then flying a brick whats the point of them)
I now have got almost 20M creds so I'm about to buy 4th ship which will be AspX and then grind again towards either Vulture or longer term Python. I have done the high res thing a little bit but went back to doing run missions and was making between 1-3M a session until they nerfed how many types of missions you could do

I play through steam but unfortunately I haven't got a clue about wings and stuff so not sure what the next step is being in a big (AND i MEAN BIG) gang like this. Probably sit in my little bubble until a read up a bit more on the forums.
Anyway thanks again and fly safe.
