| 1 | Gday CMDR, I used to post this for the new guys when horizons came out, its in desperate need to be updated but it should send you on the right track :) | |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | A few top tips from /u/willyb321 | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | * Never fly without rebuy (5% of your ships total cost) | |
| 6 | * Don't buy that fancy new ship till you can outfit it - the default loadout on most ships is much worse than upgraded one | |
| 7 | * Community Goals are quite a good way to make a lot of money when starting off, for comparatively less effort | |
| 8 | * Do the tutorials **before** pressing play!! | |
| 9 | * Be patient, this game needs it! | |
| 10 | * Enjoy your time! | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | Welcome to Elite CMDR! | |

| 14 | As you know this question gets asked a lot, so ill copy and paste useful links to help you get started :) | |
| 15 | - | ~~**Kremainn** system has ringed planets with RES(resource extraction sites) for combat bounty hunting, It also has stations close to its home star.~~ ~~Kremainn is now a player controlled anarchy system~~ Kremainn is a democracy again, you are free to bounty hunt there again :) |
| 15 | + | |
| 16 | If you have horizons and choose surface start (horizons sidewinder), you will start at [Asellus Primus](http://elitedangerous.gamepedia.com/Asellus_Primus) This is a good starting system. | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | If you chose New Commander you will start at [LHS 3447](http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/LHS_3447). | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | First thing you want to do is get out of (LHS 3447) and never look back. | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | **Eravate** system right next door has stations under 200ls away from its star - Cleave Hub, It currently also one of the busiest areas of space. | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | ~~**Kremainn** system has ringed planets with RES(resource extraction sites) for combat bounty hunting, It also has stations close to its home star.~~ ~~Kremainn is now a player controlled anarchy system~~ Kremainn is a democracy again, you are free to bounty hunt there again :) (This changes quite a bit) | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | **LTT 18486** and **LTT 3572** system is close by and has RES(resource extraction sites) for bounty hunting. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | Starting out can be hard, Space is big and there is a lot to explore, trade, mine and kill. Elite has a very steep learning curve and there is quite a few guides online to show you the ropes, grab some coffee and have a watch of a few of these while you are playing through the tutorials of the game :) | |
