No problem, I’ve come back to the game multiple times and know exactly what you mean. I felt there was a massive gap between brand new / returning players and a lot of the “how to” videos. Appreciate the feedback… thankyou!
Nice to see an upto date tutorial, especially one aimed at new players. Pleanty of new players get overwhelmed as it can be a steep learning curve. You've a lot of ground to cover, keep it relaxed and clear -- you'll do ok.
Thank you so much for the encouraging words! I'm really glad you found the tutorial helpful, especially since I know how overwhelming Elite Dangerous can be for new players. I'll definitely keep your advice in mind-keeping things relaxed and clear is exactly what I’m aiming for as I cover more of the game. There’s definitely a lot of ground to cover, but with support like yours, I’m excited to keep going! Thanks again for watching!
Thanks for the comment, I had a Thrustmaster HOTAS few years back, loved the ergonomics but it broke when it was just under a year old, fortunately Amazon took it back under warranty and refunded me, so I switched out for the Logitech X52, also a good HOTAS. Hope your Thrustmaster lasts! Maybe they've got more reliable now its been out for a few years!
Subscribed! I started playing a month or so ago and I definitely feel like all the guides out there are from years ago. Some have been helpful, some not as much. Glad to see a fresh guide out.
This is a great introduction. Just downloaded Elite from Steam and just finished a first training that started me on a planet and then dropped me off at chamberlains rest too. Looking to the series. One question. How can I access the ships I picked up from twitch drops?
Thanks for the feedback, I think to access your twitch content drop you have to ensure you’ve linked your twitch and steam account, then you should be able to add the twitch drops to your steam inventory. I didn’t buy the game through steam, I bought direct from Frontier (and a second account via Epic). I had to link my frontier and twitch accounts together.
Thanks for making these videos! When choosing game mode, can you change it, say, from online to solo in a future session? I have terrible internet so I want to be able to convert to solo without losing all my progress, if needed.
No worries, and yes you can absolutely switch between game modes, just go back to the main menu and select a different mode, the game carries on from the same location.
Game is completely hopeless, "tutorial" deposits you in a station with no guidance and everything is locked out until you do the "specific thing" it wants you to do. What is that thing? We will never know, and the game isn't telling! Gave up after an hour of wandering around hopelessly with no guidance. Total dogshit.
Hey commander, thanks for the comment. Yep I get the comment there is very little guidance and a very steep learning curve with this game. If you're willing to give it another go I think I know at which point you are stuck. I'm guessing What I remember having to do is go to the "Inter Astra" which is one of the station services available and talk to the person behind the counter. They'll then make you do the Space Ship flight tutorial (which I think you can choose to skip, but is worth doing if you've never played before). After you complete that (takes about 30 mins) you should then be deposited in your own Sidewinder ship which is effectively where the proper game starts and where this video tutorial series starts. Hope this helps! Let me know if it doesn't.
Thank you bro 🙏every other tutorial on youtube is either about how to cheese the game to get insanely rich or just hella outdated. Needed this

Nice one! I'm coming back to E:D after a little while away; just got myself a Thrustmaster HOTAS and learning my way around the control scheme.

@SpacefaringChronicles that's good to know. Thanks. Unfortunately I can't even connect to the servers now due to my epic rural internet 😅
