My Logbook
This is
truly a fantastic idea and a great resource for new and aspiring commanders - to know the trials, tribulations and pitfalls are shared by all - thanks for sharing.

All I can say commander is trial, error, load-out, youtube, trial, error, load-out, refinement - harness your skills - a positive combat technique to learn keeping the throttle int the "blue" when turning, known that when you boost you primarilly effect the thrusters you are currently using "not just forward" and for a more expert technique is the "crazy ivan" ( boosting, turning off flight assist, fliping 180d and then tuning on the flight assist ) this snaps you back on the tail of you opponent and sounds a lot harder than it actually is.
There is no escape from this other than practice, eventually ( it wont take long ) you will be able to hold a loop around an astroid without flight assist on.
There are also plenty of Youtube guides than can help learning to advance you piloting and combat skills.

There I upgraded to a Diamond Back Scout, which research told me was able to take a bit of a knock, manoeuvrable to be able to avoid interdiction and if necessary defend itself at my level reasonably.
DBX is a fine choice and very nimble out of the box, this little monster has been quite the main-stay for nipping about the bubble for my adventures.

I will then get back to the trail at Lalande 25224 system and continue my trip to Alioth via the back roads and continue my education whilst mapping systems that have probably been mapped a dozen times before ( but it is getting me credits) and camp out under the stars when the old Tachograph tells me it's time for a rest.
I might be wrong fellow commander, but I think Alioth is a permit only system, you will need to obtain a Permit to Jump / Enter the system
You will need to get the controlling faction "Alioth Independents" to Allied to obtain the mission / option to optain a permit. you can take data courier missions or small cargo, market commodity and minning resource missions to gain their favour.
failing that there is always good old fashion bribery... ahem... errr... I mean dontations....

1/ How to re Arm my DSS
I will be humbly honest, I don't think I have ever run out of probes, do they not regenerate?
Trickyhicky wrote:2/ How to take photos and video
For pictures I use the following method
press "ctrl+alt+space" this puts you in camera mode, it has keyboard / controller options from there where you can change camera, pitch, angle and zoom etc.
to go back, just press "ctrl+alt+space" again.
I look forward to seeing your adventures

ROOKFETT HCS Help videosfor his informative videos on the voice attack app
I have registered voice attack too and since the wife and munchkin got me a new cordless headset/mic setup I can see myself spending some more time on this - thanks for sharing the link.
If I get this working even half decently I will be installing "LEGEND" HCS Pack - thats clearly a much needed must - I already have Carina as a Livery Module - be nice to start rounding off

A true pleasure to read commander, I noticed the image link was incorrect for the BB forum code as its set as [.img]https://imgur.com/Qc86NFH[./img]
( without the "." after the "[" )there is the option to select the "BB Code Link" with the "Get Links" over the image, alternatively you can put your own bb code tags around the link -
