Woukd love someone to have a mic and explain some stuff because it looks cool. I just keep just playing 20-30mins before just giving up...

If it was cross play id help ya out but i only bought it on xbox.

Also space legs should be coming soon so worth learning the game.

I just seem to drift to nothing really. I did the mining training and my ship has mining lasers and a scoop...But in main game i have a scoop but no lasers for cutting?

Forgot to quote so you probably didnt see reply

Id stay away from mining for the time being and try to do cargo missions til you can afford a type7 and run cargo with that for a fighter style ship

See, now this game doesn't give much direction so i can definitely use what you have said.
At least now i have a goal and it wont feel so boring out in space

Ya also mining without limpet droids is just painful af.

Also keep in mind different factions will like you more once you do missions and can later pay more.

Also different systems have different ships that are sold and including ship gear.

So basically when doing a cargo run youll wanna use a tool like this

To figure out which is the closest system that has what you need and the fastest charts to get there

Well that makes sense.

My first run was leave the first space station and travel to the next but i got pulled in by a suns orbit while warping and it just blew my mind! Had to turn it off that day. Loads to do, seems almost limitless

Perfect, thats a great help
