• How to start Elite Dan...
In this part, we go go from abosolute new start to 3.5 million cr by stealing a few kills from the security services using the basic Sidewinder.
Hugh, what can i say....
It's taken me about a week from being completely new and smashing around in a sidewinder never quite understanding what i was doing.
Started with a sidewinder and got stuck because i couldn't figure out how to travel the huge distances to get to your systems (in the guide).
Ended up getting a hawler and learning about fuel scoops, travelling and minor trading. Earnt enough for a Cobra mk3 and had some fun using that but didn't seem to make much cash (poor combat skills), bought a Dolphin (following another guide to make some money) and kitted it out for cargo runs (72 tons per go). Earnt enough and bought your Vulture and struggled to understand the build, i kept going over the Power requirements, truely screwed something up and couldn't take off from the port - got blown up for trespass!!! Figured out what i'd done wrong and changed things --- had to still compromise on thrusters and used a 5d(?) instead of the 5c(?). Left me a tiny margin but it worked. Toughened up with more module armour and set off for Mainani. Following your guides and advice i've now done 2 runs, not as quick or good as you (combat is getting better though), first run of about 90 minutes and nearly completing my first run i shot the wrong ship and got blown to bits by the police, back to prison again 😞
Started again yesterday and completed a run (20 Pirates x 5), tonight just succeded my 2nd run. Took your advice and i've gone for reputation or rare articles instead of cash - still made about 30 M. from the 2 runs.
Really enjoying this, having some cash definately improves what is possible without having to grind for weeks and weeks trading or doing small stuff. Love the game play, a real adrenaline rush when you've pocket full of bounties and have been sweating for nearly 2 hours to complete thes packet runs.
Did you say during your vulture build that your next ship would be a chieften??
Thank you so much for explaining everything and sharing your skill and passion, what a great game 🙂🙂🙂 Cheers!
You're bringing back my very distant memories. There are tears forming in the corners of my eyes. It looks like you're on your way now - still loads of stuff to try and find out. I've done about 13,000 hrs and still find out new things.
The Vulture is the best un-engineered ship for pirate massacre missions. The Chieftain just beats it when they're both fully engineered.
What I'd do now is knock off a couple of billion, then sort out the Guardian modules, then work your way through the engineers. When you've done all that, use any of the main money-making methods (pirate massacres, platinum mining, biology scanning) to make another 6 billion to get your Fleet Carrier, then maybe go and tackle the Thargoids. Make a list now of all the engineers and what you need to do to unlock them because you can do some of the stuff now without extra work, then do very tasks in paralle rather than the boring and tedious way of doing all the tasks one at a time, like trading in 50 different markets - every time you visit a station, buy and sell a ton of something. Look out for stations with active black markets - you only need to trade in 5 of them, etc.
Brilliant as usual. Every time I come back to Elite I come back and watch your videos, I wouldn't play it otherwise.
I only do it to get comments like that.
Hi Hugh, welcome back.
It's a steep learning curve! But getting there slowy but surely thanks to your guides.
Did a little bounty hunting and got to 1 million, next day did the same and earned about 1.3 M then lost it all by carelessly shooting a police/security ship - that put me in prison light years away from Wyrd. Had another go this morning , was alot more careful and earned another 1.45 M so i now have a bit more than 2.7 M. Probably about 3 hours or so in total.
Now in Dummata, unfortunately can't buy many ships here. I think the nearest shipyard that does is GOMAT - Cayley dock but even at just
12.5 Ly distance there's no available route. So i'm feeling a bit stuck.
Is the only way to overcome the distance limitation to buy a ship with more range? i'd like to get to a more poulated place with good Tech and the chance to earn some cash. I might have to hitch a lift 🙂
Your first two guides have been a great help, trying to keep calm and keep an eye on everything in the heat of battle is not as easy as you make it look - but deffinately doing better than a few days ago. Cheers!
It would probably be better in the long term to buy any fuel scoop you can and any upgrade to your FSD, bearing in mind that you need power to run it, then travel to the places that I show. Don't forget to set your route to economic in the galaxy map settings to reduce the number of jumps.
Really, you should be making around 5 million every hour at this stage if you copy what I show.
Love this intro series, clear and easy to follow. Having played the original version about a million years ago i've always wanted to come back and give it another try. The one thing i'm struggling with and i'm already 12 hours in is that my starting point is nowhere near where you are starting. The system i'm in doesn't have any ringed planets and i'm struggling to find any nearby. Being in a Sidewinder and being restricted to 7.5 LY jumps i can't figure out how to find any systems similar to where you are.
So at the moment i can't get further than doing small data courier runs. At 12k a pop i reckon it'll take me about 100 years to achieve the money you're making knocking out pirates.
How can i find a Ring system with a high rescource extraction site??
Tell me where you started, and are you playing Odyssey or Horizons 4.0? If you started in Odyssey, there is a high resource site in the starter system about 2200ls from where you start.
Data deliveries is a very slow way to start. It's for losers. Avoid getting a Cobra as your next ship because it will also slow you down. A Type 6 costs the same and carries nearly three times as much, and for combat, it safer to stay in a Sidewinder until youu can get a Vulture. Never buy a new ship until you have the money to fit it out for the job required.
@@hughjardon3538 Started in AULIN and am Playing Horizons.
Have made my way arround my neighbourhood, realised very quickly i wouldn't be travelling far in the sidewinder...
Have done the tutorials and have been mainly trying to get used to the UI, i'm using an xbox controller (i have nerve damage in both hands and have problems with movement and feeling in the ring fingers and little fingers on both hands, controller seems to work ok, whereas i think i'd struggle with just keyboard and mouse - i'm also not as young as i was when i first played years ago so my reactions are slower aswell se la vie).
Have about 40 hours behind me, most of which has been spent crawling arround just getting used to and learning about the controls and interface.
Have done a few courier missions and have about 350K so far.
Found a website via another YT tutorial that helps find ring worlds and resource sites - so now i'm at WYRD. Where there is a Low res site, now i know just how easy you make it look picking off pirates being chased by the Police; believe me i tried but in 30 minutes i hadn't bagged one!! By the time i was lning up on a likely ship it'd be blown up before my eyes ! 🙂
I'm going to have to practice combat / flying quite a bit more if i want to own anything bigger than this flying shoe LoL.
ok - tried my hand again in the low res site at WYRD. Bagged one at last after 30 minutes of trying 🙂 15 minutes late another one. First got me nearly 650k and the second one about 70k Just made my first 1,000,084 🙂 🙂 🙂
Not bad after a night shift. Like i said, love your guide. So Cheers !!
If i can finally buy something bigger and faster i can maybe find some better sites. Think i had better go get some sleep.
