Always loved this game followed it as much as I could.. But never really had the time

Now my son is older and at school I have a lot more time now..

So I purchased Elite Dangerous from Frontier own site so Steam dont take a % played in single player mode for last 4 days I love it, I've been back to the site and purchased the season pass Horizons and I even just bought a Thrustmaster HOTAS X Flight and I'm using a really good custom setup from a member its called FlightHotasX_Crab_v6.00.1.8 I think the member is called Crab.. Either way its been a huge learning curve been really difficult lets just say my table was hit a couple times in anger when I first tried to land in a space station and also kept over shooting planets..... but I've been watching loads of beginners guides (still quite confusing since each person says should do something else, but still very informative

My name is Jamie I'm 34 y/o from London UK would love to join PvE
I have a mic and very friendly enjoy having a laugh but also get down, focused and serious when its needed...

I would very much love to find a nice big group of players that enjoy and love the game so much they are happy to share and teach....

Just kind of hope to be taken under a groups wing, be my Yoda!

Cheers guys and hope to see you out there...

My name in game is CMDR Lt ViperTooth (I Ddidn't know it put "CMDR" in front else I wouldn't of choose to put "Lt" lol durp

I've ran big groups in other games and always enjoyed being apart of something and hope I can here

Really looking to enjoy and get the most out of this... thanks for listening

Welcome to the group!

The learning curve in E-D is very steep, as you are learning. Vindicator Jones has some great tutorial videos that may help ease some of the pain. It's worth a look.


I'm in-game a fair amount on the weekends. Feel free to add me to your friends list and hit me up with questions anytime you see me on-line. If I don't respond it's probably because I'm in a wing with a few guys and am busy killing NPC's. Just keep trying. ;)

Thank you I will be joining Mobius when I get on in a few minutes just had my PC in pieces for last few hours just installed GTX1080 and with it all on a full rigged water cooled loop and a new block no so simple as pop in out and new in sadly, but its done and I will be on.

I have watched so many beginners guides etc all recommending different things for beginners dont seem to be having much luck, the missions in game pay pennies, and doing low danger level extraction sites (i seem to get one hit killed by NPC's or go wanted hunting.. I have a Viper Mark III and I have gimbaled lasers and have upgraded most stuff to the next best thing just dont seem to be having any luck and I keep loosing all my money and trading is so much to get your head around.... I absolutely love this game... just can't wait to get into it and be happy comfortable in knowing what to do... and be in a group with other players doing missions etc....

Just hope I can get out of this rut i seem to be in.. and keep having to dip into the "loan amount" they give you at start when i have no money and my ship is destroyed :( lol but its all fun and a part of learning just hope I can get in a wing group of others

Thank for warm welcome I'm also on INARA its a shame its not properly integrated into the game (steam sign in or frontier sign in) properly..

The game can be very frustrating early on. If your shields are dropping fast, I'd look into upgrading them ASAP if you haven't already. On a Viper 4, a 3A shield generator will give you great protection.

If you haven't yet, watch the videos in the link above about combat to help you learn some tactics.

Discord is becoming more and more popular in our group. A lot of guys use it for text chat, and there are sections for asking questions about specific areas of the game. discord has voice chat as well (which I use when winged), but not many guys hang out on Discord voice chat. You will find guys on TS, but it seems that less and less activity there is about E-D.

Once you can afford it, put a 0A shield booster in a utility slot, it'll give you a 20% boost to shield strength.
Also, when bounty hunting in a RES or at a Nav Beacon choose a high security system and let the police/security services engage them first. That way they'll take the aggro and as long as you get a few shots in before he pops, you'll get the full bounty reward.

Welcome to the game. I've only been playing about 5 to 6 months but I can help you out in Res sites or at nav beacons. Add me to your in game friends list (CMDR Gallanus). I am on at all times of the day and night. I am usually at YZ Ceti (federation space) or HIP 20277 (Alliance space... I think).
