I don't own this game and probably won't yet, but I spent an hour watching your tutorial. It was truly a pleasure, very well made.
Thank you :)
This GAME is FANTASTIC but as you have gathered it is complicated and this has made me also hesitant, the same as you:) I bought the game over a year ago and have tried many times to play it and suggest you watch videos to sway you to play as I have:)
It's not as overwhelming as it seems. But I am on the Xbox version and I am not fighting until I get a joystick.

This game is worth buying. I like the views of it, neutron stars, and many more. They look fantastic!
I’ve had elite for a few months now, just wandering around in my adder, looking for work and not knowing what to do or where to really go. This video has given me new incentive to play and explore, I’ll build up to buying a new ship first thing tomorrow! Thanks
Jammy Hero Glad to hear it, the Adder was a favorite of mine. If you’re looking for a challenge the Adder is capable of bounty hunting but it is risky. Just remember to keep a rebuy.
Thanks for your in-depth tutorials. Watched an awful lot of them, and thanks to you didn’t take too long to get a grasp of the game. I’d really like to see you playing this game once more. Thanks again. Hope to see more uploads soon.
I totally respect the fact that even when doing such a detailed and helpful video, you are giving credit to other youtubers, wont see it these days. Keep it up!
Thanks for the intro, really great stuff! I hadn't gotten further than the tutorials despite backing it on kickstarter ages ago, but I think it's time to dive in. Have also gone back to the start of the series to watch them all, as I've enjoyed this instalment so much :)
22:05 you land that ship like a pro, i'm still struggling much with that.
Probably because he's using a joystick
***** yeah. the xbox/ps4 controllers aren't very nice to use either.
+Kaynos I find that switching to 'alternative controls' at least with a controller, helps. Especially with lateral thrusts in alternative controls.
+Sour Oddity It's probably not because of the joystick. With only a little bit of practice you'll have no problems landing with a keyboard too.

I had it on xbox one so i wouldn't know for keyboard :)
This video saved my ass for this game! I can not thank you enough for how much help you have given me. I've been playing for a couple days now and I am loving it.
Started playing about a week ago. Thank you for the guide. This game in VR plus a HOTAS setup is the most immersive gaming experience I've ever had!
I only recently got into this game and I've just gotta say THANK YOU for making this video. There's a lot in this game that has to be learned -- and not via intuition. I've only spent a handful of hours in the game so far, but in the first 20min of your commentary I learned so many things which I had previously missed in my play sessions. 4yrs later your video is still helping noobs like me.
I’m happy to hear it’s still useful, it’s one of the more complicated games out there, there’s a lot to uncover.
Thank you for watching, and for commenting, I love reading comments like these.
Fly safe commander o7
Probably the best video I have watched for this game. Thankyou for getting me started
I just got the game yesterday and while I was downloading it I came across this video. After going thru the tutorial I came back to watch again. Thank you, thank you.
Nice video, I jumped into this game and even after the tutorials I spent 2 hours just absolutely lost with no clue what I should do. I can jump back in confidently and even more excited now that I understand the basic concepts more now.
After owning the game since launch and not being able to know how to play it, I gave up. watched this video and now I put in 4 hours today! Got quite a few upgrades on my Sidewinder and purchased Horizon. Take my subscribe and like!
best intro to elite i have seen so far. thanks for making it
Thank you so much I just started the game and I love it it's hard and challenging but that's where the fun it honestly. Being a huge StarWars fan and kinda being let down time after time recently with all the either lack of content or lack of a game release in general for a free world or spacer styled game. This is amazing thanks for the huge help
Best guide I've seen so far. Very structured and detailed. I am ready to get back into the game again! Thanks very much for sharing mate, your flight skill is an amazing!!!
Shenghua He Thanks man! That really means a lot!
This is a most useful guide and i looked tons of guides to find good one. Give us more!
I plan to soon :)
Glad I was given this link. I had this game for a very long time, but was afraid to try it. Now I'm quite interested in it, thanks.
senaya that's awesome to hear! Both that you've gained an interest in this admittedly daunting game and that the video is still being shared.
The game is a bit different now after the updates but the core concepts still apply.
It's a great game, it's worth spending the time getting into.
Thanks again and welcome to Elite commander o7
I've watched a handful of these now and yours has definitely been the best (for me) as a player starting from scratch who has just finished the tutorials. Thanks.
Very nice to hear that! Thank you for watching and for leaving a comment. Happy it worked out for you. Welcome to Elite commander o7
This is not only the best Elite video I've found, but one of the best tutorial videos on anything I have ever seen. You have a knack for explaining things that I found to be really unique and impressive. Thank you for this upload. (Just picked this up over the Steam Summer Sale and I'm looking to get exploded on. :p)
Dude, thank you so much for this video. I already had most of the basics down, but I didn't yet fully grasp how missions and signal sources worked. After this, I picked up a 'kill pirates' mission and made 160k in like an hour and a half. Traded my stock Sidewinder for a 140k ship + upgraded power distrubutor.
Again, thanks, I've only had the game for a few days but now I feel like I can truly get started.
Very nice! I'm happy it helped you out and it's nice to hear you're finding success! Welcome to elite commander and fly safe o7
I love the engine sounds in this game-- especially for the Laykon.
The sounds are have the game, they did an amazing job I have to agree.
I know this video is old, but thank you for explaining the artwork mission. I actually finished it by accident. Flying around and scanning (I have the infinity scanner) lead me to a planet and a signal source labelled mission. Watching you scoop helped a lot because until I saw that I was failing miserably. Thank you again.
New to your channel. I've watched a number of your Elite Dangerous videos and I find them most educational and entertaining. Please do keep up the good work!
Hey ! Finally bought the game with a 67% discount on steam ! about 10 hours in the bag and i must say i'm impressed. After seeing most of your videos i felt confident about starting, but entering the tutorials in the first couple of minutes made me realize flying and watching someone else fly are 2 different stories. Specially safely exiting SC and fuel scooping. I got too close to a star and tried to run away but i panicked with all the warnings and just left the computer to grab something to eat, thinking i would die. A few minutes later i was still spinning close to the sun and was able to jump with 9% hull... A hell of a first impression lol
Right on! Welcome to Elite! Lol that was an amazing read fantastic first impression! Those stars come out of no where, just wait till you jump into your first white dwarf. Think I tore a chunk out of my seat the first time I found one of those.
Keep at it commander and I'm happy you're here to see what all the fuss is about.
LOL you were saying... ? just dropped beside a white dward expecting a red dwarf jesus christ. Made a flyby and the damm thing look like a freakin planet
+xXMaukiorXx hahahaha! Scary as hell the first time if you're not expecting it right?
+Troa Barton oh man... white dwarfs are the biggest asshats ever ! definitely. I almost died with 70 tons of rare cargo because i got too close before i could turn away.
Troa, thank you for this guide. You have most certainly helped me understand a lot of things about the game that I was struggling with. I knew most of the basics except maybe the item descriptions, which you have now helped me understand so much better.
Like you I also use an x52 and I've been playing since Beta 2, but the biggest thing I struggled with was just a solid way to make money and knowing what to do or where to go. I'm not used to such an open ended game that doesn't have a tutorial or missions that say "go here, do this"...
So again, thanks. You've earned a subscription out of me and I'll be watching your other videos to distract me from working ;)
Josh Aurelio Thank you so much for subscribing, watching, and commenting! Currently the best ways to make money after you're out of that sidewinder are to bounty hunt, and rare item trade. After that its trading all the way once you're in a Type 7. But in an open world its more about the journey than anything else. And don't go getting in trouble at work because of me lol
No more trouble than I'm usually in, ;)
I've been watching all your videos and working my way up after seeing this one. Love how you named your A.I. Aziz... That makes me chuckle every time I hear it.
I was wondering what you use for recording and editing software? What you do with these videos and streaming is something I've wanted to get into for a while and just ... Idk... Don't put in enough effort on my part to make it work. But I still want to. Let me know when you can!
Thanks again!
Josh Aurelio
I swear UA-cam needs to be better at letting me know when I get a new comment... Sorry I took so long to see this.
I miss Aziz.. I really need to get my A.I. outta hoc at Lave.
As far as making videos and streaming goes the first things first, you're going to need a good computer. Streaming and recording videos while playing a game is really hard on your CPU, HDD, and RAM. Then you are going to need a good graphics card(s) so that your game looks the way that it should. you also need at least a 1080p monitor as well to output at youtube resolutions without upscaling.
The most important part though is getting a good mic. Ive got a lot of videos and most of them are recorded with a bad mic and you can tell.. Most people can forgive hicups in video because of streaming being what it is right now. Most people however, will not tolerate bad audio. Some people will even go so far as to base their subscription purely on the sound of your voice and character, so it really is very important.
I currently use open broadcaster "obs" to stream and record for the most part. Its very CPU heavy and free so its difficult to figure out all the settings for your game and setup. But it is free so that's a plus.
I also use Shadowplay to record some footage, its an encoder built into my GPU from Nvidia. The footage is much better but sometimes buggy either without video or sound so I cant rely on it but I try to catch moments with it.
I use Sony Movie Maker Platinum as my editor. Its cheap and checks all the boxes, but it is buggy as hell and decides to just not do somethings ever. I stll cant customize my MP4 Export settings lol. But really for the money you cant beat it the only other non-linear editor of any account is I think an extra hundred bucks.
I now record my audio separately with Audacity and merge them in post. Notice the lack of that click noise? :)
Finally you need good consistant internet speeds to stream and upload to youtube The last video I uploaded was 3.51GB as a compressed MP4. Takes a while to encode and upload :)
Good luck getting into it though :) Its a, for the most part thankless hobby, you earn very little and sometimes have to deal with some very rude or ignorant people while pouring days into each episode. But there are times when you get those good comments that really light your day up. Hopefully I can one day do this full time and actually make a living at this. I have an awesome subscriber base! And despite the downs this hobby can have the positives for me at least, are very much worth it. :)
Troa Barton Haha, it's all good. I knew you'd see it eventually.
I've definitely got the hardware covered as far as computer specs. I just built this computer about 2 months ago and am pretty sure it can handle the load aspect. The only part I might have to work towards is the mic. I've got a gaming headset (which for the most part has been good for my needs), however I have been wanting to get something with a bit more quality. So I might look into that.
The software was really the only thing I wasn't sure about. For Streaming I've used xsplit in the past (which now they have gamecaster, which is a bit more streamlined than broadcaster was)... but I'll definitely take a look at "obs" as well. Thank you for the info on all of the software you use. It gives me an idea of where to start and look.
Internet speed really hasn't been a problem either, though I have comcast, *shiver*. Still waiting on Google Fiber to come to Nashville, which they have been doing construction for it. :)
I'm used to dealing with irritable people. Since, I've been on the internet for quite a while and have dealt with different kinds of gaming communities, plus 11 years of customer service experience. :)
Thanks once again, Troa ... I'll hopefully see you around when you stream! Gonna subscribe over to your twitch as well. I'll pop in if I'm free.
Thank's a lot !! I'm brand new in this game and this really the best tutorial I've found yet. Congratulations and thank's again for sharing your experience with us :)
Just picked up this game a week ago and this is the video I keep coming back to. I've played 30+ hours and spent almost as much time watching videos and sponging up info from forums, wikia, and youtube. Your video helped me learn the basics more than anything else.
I'm honored, thank you for checking out my channel and thank you very much for the comment :)
That docking when you got back from the art mission...that was ART. I'm sittin' here, goin'.,.."Wha...HOW?"
+ChozoSR388 thats how i usualy dock and im new
Grinder's Gaming
Well, congratu-f**cking-lations. Not everyone is so well endowed in the dexterity department, putz.
+ChozoSR388 I fucking suck at docking, always come in facing the wrong way !!
Lynxchillin08
I know, right?
The wrong way?
OH! That's what those arrows are for!
Shit, I thought the game just didn't want me docking. Was slamming my little sidewinder into the ground yelling at the game.
Sometimes, I hate being new in a game.
For those of you playing E:D and considering buying a HOTAS, the x52 is a fine option, but if you don't want to spend $150 on one....try a Thrustmaster T-Flight X. $50 or less, depending on where you go. I'm using one and it works fantastically.
+Admiral T'Prel Satok What are you wearing right now ?
Krusty Sock Don't be a creep.
ToolNumber19 Oh go on then, you can buy me a pack of Bensons.
good chain everybody
Its enough to be useful, for sure. I believe Isinona uses a T-Flight, with flight assist off, and does amazing. Check out some of his vids. If he can fly like that with the T-Flight... it should be enough for just about anyone, lol.
Wanted to start playing after finally getting my X52 Pro to work in Win 10, great video. I learned a lot and hope to use a lot of what you discuss in the video when started. Great video!
Awesome video for a new commander such as myself. I was hesitant at first seeing it was an hour long, but it was very informative and I appreciate the time you took to help new players out. Take care. :)
Thank you :) im happy to hear it was helpful, I'm still working on making my videos shorter but I really didn't want to give vague information without showing the process. Good luck out there in the black commander :)
There is a vast amount of information to learn. The past week has been spent watching video after video to get even a basic feel for the game. Don't worry about video length. The more information the better in my opinion. Take care!
Thanks a lot for this video! this makes bounty hunting a lot less intimidating, so I should be doing that tonight haha!
Really good video on how to get started at this game as I was really not sure what the hell I was meant to be doing. Cheers!
Just bought the game. Do you feel like this tutorial is outdated ?
@114017384236714733146 From what I can see no. I still found this tutorial extremely helpful so definitely recommend you watching it.
Oh this is woefully outdated but the basic premise is still very relevant. All I would add to this if I were able to update it is surface missions, how to land on planets, and passenger missions. The UI is completely different now in stations and I would also advise to get your bearings before getting into powerplay. Those would be the additions I would make to the guide but the points I bring up in the guide are still applicable.
Thank you both for watching and commenting and hopefully this helps you get pointed in the right direction.
Cheers :)
Troa Barton
Thanks a lot for your reply. Very useful video indeed. Learned quite a few things. So now I am like 5 hours in (tutorials are done and my controls are finaly comfortable). I am experiencing what seems to be a very well known "issue". I can't accept any mission because they are all too far from where I can accept them. I go from one system to another searching for available missions but so far I only found one.
I upgraded a piece on my Sidewinder so now I can jump 8Ly instead of 6Ly but it's still too short for most missions .... Any tips ?
I got a tips for you, buy gimballed weapon especially if you don't have a joystick.. it make your weapon auto aim at enemy targetted like an aimbot if you want.. the only downside is if your opponent use defence system to screw your aim with decoy but it doesn't last long or you can bind a key to switch your gimballed weapon to fixe temporally then switch back when the decoy are gone. And the other downside is that gimballed weapon does a little less damage, but I can tell you I play with a xbox controller "better than mouse and keyboard" and without gimballed weapon I could fight in the training tutorial the first enemy for like 20min lol
Thanks for this video. I Got this a while back on a whim after getting bored with EVE but found it a bit daunting and quickly gave up. It took me several days just to do the tutorials before. Now I just finished them in a few minutes! :)
A professional grade instructional video, with a Kick-ass ending! I loved how you put me into the sense of like being tutored like this was real life and these were your best suggestions for beginning my ED pilot career. Good info. clear and easy to follow. Bravo Mr. Barton. And then.. Jeez-o-Pete! You pilot like an ace fighter. I just finished watching an ED series where the host was constantly blasting past intended stops, bouncing off the portals in the docks, and always looking away and opening menus while in close proximity to other objects, and playing with other monitors and websites (off screen) during recording. Kind of like a teenager who won't stop texting and driving, and is always distracted. He's like "Ooh what's that? * stares at object .. *CRASH!!* - ship destroyed - * I must have screamed at the screen " What are you doing?" "Slow Down your gonna pass it again!!" Look out!" "It's right freaking THERE!" and "WTF are you thinking?!" a hundred times. Seems like a cool guy though. Just a bad, distracted pilot. I was facepalming so much and I have never picked up a modern game controller let along a PC game. But you.. Damn dude... color me impressed! Especially that Viper session at the end. You lit them up! I would LOOOVE to try this game but sadly I have not played a game since the original Playstaton, my PC is just an off-the-shelf, 580 dollar HP with no bells & whistles, and my ISP is totally pathetic at 8 Mbps↓ and 2 Mbps↑ So I'll just keep living vicariously through the ED videos like this.
Thanks for the awesome video Mr. Barton!
Finally someone explains how to play elite dangerous
awesome video
Thanks :) happy to help
Very nice in-depth video
Coming back to this vid nearly a year later after I got the game.
This guide had helped me get my grips, now I'm a multi-million credit Pilot flying a full modded Imperial Courier.
Everyone needs to pay respects to their origins, and that video is that for me.
Thanks for the Guide CMDR, I know its a 2 year old Video, but she still holds up very well even now.
o7 CMDR, Fly Safe if you still do!
bought this game and watch this video.really good explanation with your calm voice makes it better.thanks!
36:00 in and you attack Mrs trellis from North Wales. a fictional character from a long running comedy series on BBC radio 4 in the UK, called "sorry i haven't a clue", also known as "the antidote to panels games". Nerds & geeks abound ....
thanks for the video, been 35 yrs since i last played elite, & need the refresher!
Neil Stoddart I knew that name had to be a reference to a character, it was too specific. Thanks for the info :) Glad to provide any help that I can, and welcome back to Elite!
Neil Stoddart I was checking the comments to see where I knew that name from. Thanks!
In the Wyrd system there is Gareth Edwards Park station . . . . . THAT blew my mind - in a good way ;)
I cannot wait to get this game for PS4 this is my Captain Harlock/Cowboy Bebop dream man. Everything in here looks so dirty but sci fi and just so damn realistic
Vulpor Vulp I am counting the days since they announced the release for PS4. We almost made it!
thank you thank you! this has been the most helpful video so far. JUST picked this up for the XB1 and was mostly lost on where to begin.
I don't know how outdated this will be for the latest build of the game, but I'll be using this as a guide for my PS4 adventures in just a few weeks. Thanks for this awesome video!
Thanks for the video! Just started playing ED.. got into a viper after making 3 kills :)
Rock on man!
cools which one is that again
Little advice for new players: A: Do the tutorial, whether you are on XB1 or computer. mistakes are costly and frustrating.
B:For hauling/bulletin board jobs upgrade your FSD as fast as possible (2A max on sidewinder), it makes most jobs worlds easier.
C: coriolis.io (website) awesome site for planning your build.
Brilliant Video, look forward to seeing more from you. Late to the game, but after watching this i feel more confident on what to do. So much to learn! thank you
I've been playing for over a year and I learned sooooo much from this just now...
Watching you land was insane. It takes me 10 minutes to land but it is way harder on the Xbox as my friend has this on PC and I can land there usually in 3-5 minutes but not like you did here.
it's easy to do on Xbox
HAHA I must just suck as I am using an Xbox One. LOL I purchased an auto-docking system. Best item in the game. :))
Trent Hogan yea they are fun, I still bump stuff every once in a while though. What's your Gamertag? Maybe we could play sometime if we're not to far away lol
I actually stopped playing but if I return I'll shoot you my tag. I think it's Marzion
Trent Hogan alright! hope to see you back soon CMDR! :)
@Alex Saloid I can't reply to you directly but thank you and I intend to. :)
btw sorry i the comments look spamy from me i just delted um on my phone they said they werent sending my bad i feel stupid now lol
+Jordan Pirie no worries, it wouldn't be the first time and it doesn't bother me. Any comment helps me a lot, ones accidentally repeated do as well and more than no comment. Thank you for leaving one :)
+Troa Barton btw i was doin the bounty hunting to get some creds at the nav point when a ship flew into my fire and now im wanted what do i do about it can i pay it off or do i just wait till someone kills me or dose it have a timer
+Troa Barton ty very much looks im staying out of LHS 3447 for a week then lol long storey short in the heat of the fire fight i must of switched targets by mystake and as u can guess killed the wrong guy like a dumb ass lol
+Troa Barton
oo
Watched this in a mini screen in the VR cockpit of my Sidewinder helped so much, thanks!
Just bought this on the Xbox One. Love the game but it is certainly a trial by fire experience to learn the ins and outs. Your video was a huge help. Well and clearly spoken and a huge amount of detail. Subbing for sure and I look forward to learning more from you.
I really appreciate it thank you for the kind comment. :) this game isn't easy that's the great thing about it. I'm glad to have helped get you on your feet. :)
You are really good, great vid man. Subbed.
David G and yea, just bought the game :D.
David G yup i agree
David G Awesome man, thank you!
How is a Picasso just floating in space? 😂
Ha 😂
Snake_XIX pfff xD
Thanks for this tutorial really useful for me just starting out, but, I cannot believe the difference between looking at the standard video of this game as it would be on a monitor compared to how it is on the Oculus Rift DK2, the difference is incredible - I haven't actually played the game on a monitor only on the Rift and it is mind blowing seeing the difference.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! You covered what the in-game tutorials didn't cover and I was so confused!
Happy to hear it helped! Thank you for watching and commenting, good luck out there commander o7
if you pick solo, once one is familiar with the game can you play online with the same progress?
Corey Schaffer Yes you can.
Corey Schaffer Yes, infact people have been causing waves within the community (and in some cases getting banned) for combat logging, swtiching to solo to avoid the pirates, then logging back into open play and going on about their business. Kind of like ghosting between severs..
Corey Schaffer Yep. Though I've tried to communicate with actual players (who show up with CMDR as the prefix for their names once you've scanned them), but many either ignore me or engage their FSD before I can hit enter.
For those using Keyboard and Mouse control scheme, here is a useful link:
docs.google.com/document/d/1KpbtfvB8GKlzMCP7demWChqGQCNUt1e5bNvijXRRPtg/edit
I personally found this to be a great control scheme for me, i was actually used to the default, but after trying this i wouldnt go back.
Thank you! This helped me very much!
noisy mimo :D i found it a few days ago on the steam forum, then when i seen this guide i thought someone might benefit from it, so i had to do a bit of searching to find the link again but i eventually found it.
Thanks for posting that :)
Really helpful, thankyou! Knowing that the Power Distributor should be the first upgrade, and that no loss is made when you sell/downgrade equipment and weapons was useful. Plus knowing that Coriolis stations rotate anticlockwise ;) Instead of going to a nav point looking for trouble, some of the missions means it tends to find you, with bounties or kill bonuses leading to good money. The cops typically help you get the kill too. So, a mix of mission rewards, kills, and trading to keep the cargo bay full leads to the next ship fairly quickly. Although I am all about the blowing stuff up, trading missions do take you to cool places and teach you the game economy, so I do recommend them.
Thanks! Helped me out a bunch when starting out. Very informative and pleasant to listen to.
That ASP was an 'expert' and was getting rekt by a stock sidewinder lmfao
Yea its too bad the AI doesnt feel shame.
+ButtPirate "If anyone asks -- there was fifty of them, and they had anacondas."
+Locutus Borg lol
Hows the flying itself, is it easy, hard or pretty inbetween, im downloading elite now it's done in 15 minutes so lets see if im not gonna fail horribly :P
That really depends on if you've played these kinds of games before, or if you're quick to pick things up. Overall I'd say it isnt too hard but there is definitely a learning curve that isn't a short one. Kind of like learning to ride a bike for the first time, once you figure it out it's easy, but you're likely going to fall off a few times before you do.
Keep in mind that I've been playing for a long time before making this video and I am using a HOTAS setup, so don't hold yourself to the standard I've set. :)
Have fun out in the black commander, welcome to elite o7
Thanks ;) I also have a hotas setup, and I am pretty good with it the only thing I really need to get used to is the game itself.
+GamingFruitHD nice to hear it's working out for you :) good luck out there commander o7
Devon Stelzner The only thing where im still confused as all hell about is the minimap with targets, in the rest im pretty competent.
Great Video, thanks for taking the time. As an old time commander (Amstrad CPC 464 and Commodore Amiga vintage) I am looking forward to playing the 21st century version of the game and your production explains a lot. See in space.
Right on commander, thanks for watching and commenting. :)
Happy to hear it helped, welcome back commander, fly safe o7
Picked this up on my Xbox One and it plays a treat.
I thought it would be useless given the lack of buttons vs a PC, but they have integrated the controls perfectly and after a short time, I found the game very enjoyable.
I'm an old timey gamer and remember the original Elite back in 84. Some of the old skills are still there too.
Still trying to find my way around as there is a TON of content and an entire galaxy to explore.
I think this is a game that'll eat up 100's up on 100's of hours for me.
It's great to see this new version has been treated with great respect and still maintains what made the original so damn good, yet updates everything while keeping the core the same.
This is a great vid and helped me get to grips with the basics easily...seeing as the game teaches you nothing outside of bare basic tutorials.
Great Vid..... But for me, the problem is REMEMBERING ALL THE CONTROLS (of all my 1,000+ Games) because every freaking one of them is done differently.
write them down for all 100
write them down for all 1000
write them down for all 1000
The Maverik I have a better idea the games companies should implement..
Justin Baker I have a better idea the games companies should implement..
so are human players known by having the CMDR in front of their names?
Yes it means commander
Figured, just want to make sure who i'm blowing up.. lol!
GameLord Cade Always a good idea lol. Thanks for answering Keegan :)
Just got this game on sale yesterday, don't regret because of this video. Thanks a lot!
You are very welcome and thank you! Welcome to elite commander!
I just watched this and it helped me understand the game a lot - I used to play the original 1984 version on my Dad's BBC Micro when I was at school. I now realise the main scope of the game is unchanged but I suck as a pilot 32 years later!
Not sure how long this is valid until but elite is giving away free paint jobs for the eagle to be released with the 2.1 update.
You must already have the game to redeem it.

+Troa Barton I signed up but I'm assuming it's a giveaway and we have to wait until patch 2.1 to even know if we got one? I signed up and nothing happened lol.
+Troa Barton so i got a viper mk4 for free and im curious as to how? do you have any idea?
+Chris Anderson Yeah I don't know if I got it either... Just going to have to wait until 2.1 unfortunately..
do u know by any chance if its played on consoles?
It is on the XBOX One
That is so fucking sad an asp just got its ass kicked by a stock sindwinder
IKR? fucking rekt.
Brought ED years ago and played for 60-ish hours. I got confused and bored. Fast foward to today, randomly stumbled on this video...
Now I'm ordering my 1st HOTAS (TM T.16000 FCS with thruster) and back to playing ED again. THANK YOU!! HAVE MY LIKE AND SUBS!!
Really informative vid, I'm going back to Beagle 2 to address what you have greatly reduced, that of the screen screaming frustrations of the hitherto ill informed, almost harmless! Many thanks for the cool guidance!
I play this on the XB1.
You want a medal for that?
john smith pc is better
john smith Lol this game wasn't even on consoles two years ago, you idiot.
A "preview" version of the game for Xbox One was later released via the Xbox Game Preview Program in June 2015 during Microsoft's briefing at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2015,[8][9] and was fully released in October 2015 who is the idiot now vaping dragon? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite:_Dangerous
Steve Callaghan you fookin rekt him!
Anyone in 2019
Thanks for the video. Cool and informative. Haven't played a space sim since freelancer, this nudged me over the fence on whether or not to pick this one up.
Great video mate. This game is quite overwhelming when you first start and this was very easy to follow along with.
Luke Tracey Awesome! Im happy to hear that was the case. It's hard to go back and remember what details are important when you first started out. Its easy to take a lot of it for granted after you're used to it so im happy to hear that it was useful :) Thank you!
I can't stop hearing this... Friendship Drive charging... Celestia approved technology...
KoRn Fan On Ketamine It's such a strong drug, it even makes people reply to year-old comments for a weak, self-asserted 1-up.
I wonder why the most complex games on the market often are those with the worst tutorials. You start this game of completely clueless on what to do and how basic game mechanics work, just a combat docking and travel tutorial then off you go into the vast space.... I hate that so freaking much, its just lazy and arrogant of the game developers. But good job taking over were they failed, just know you are doing their work for free.
Wow, was feeling a little overwhelmed with the game, but after watching this video I am definitely ready to jump back in. Can't wait for my X52 to arrive! thanks for the great video.
You are most welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting, good luck commander!
I watched all the training videos and still was lost. watch this one now I feel like a pro, slightly. thanks guy!
I'm a sad old git that used to play the "original" back in the day with wire graphics etc I have resigned myself to just watching game play now. What a great video of a great game. I am sooo tempted to buy the modern version although not sure if my knackered laptop could handle it. Enjoyed this very much indeed. Thank you.
Fantastic video, on my second watch now after I've picked up a Viper with some burst lasers and multi cannons, just to make sure I got all the details. Would love a follow-up video or even a series for beginners, you explain things really well and think you'd be well suited to making a series like that :)
I've been wanting to make a follow up video for a while now, they take a lot more time to make. I've been putting it off for a bit now but I should move it up in my production list. Thanks for watching it again and for the comment and compliment :)
I'll see what I can do to make a follow up video as soon as I can.
Outstanding video dude. I'm new to the game and this had so much info for a newbie like me. Thank you.
your tutorial alone made me buy this game :D its currently downloading now, great tutorial mate and i cant wait to hop into this game!!!
Awesome!!
Welcome to elite commander o7
Just keep in mind the tutorial follows up after the ones built into the game.
Took some time setting up the controls to my liking. Had to get my PS3 controller working on my PC. Tried the keyboard and mouse first. Never again!
Thanks for the guidance. It really helped. I'm loving this game!
Thanks for this video! Even though a long time has passed since you made this, it still helped me understood the game better xP
Thank you happy to help :) I try to keep things as future proof as I can, I plan on updating this and adding "advanced" courses in the future.
Just bought this after watching your video, great tips hopefully what i learned here will stand me in good stead when i play, liked subbed.
Ha ha, wow I added you as a friend in ED after some correspondence on the forums and then suddenly there you are in my suggested videos!
Watched this while downloading the game - just the right length of time. All the tips are very much appreciated - can't wait to jump in!
Happy to hear it! Thank you for watching and for commenting!
As I understand it the servers are down at the moment, this doesn't happen often but it sounds like you're going to have some more time for research.
Once were back online however I still recommend doing the in game tutorials as well, this video is designed to pick up where they leave off.
Good luck commander, and welcome to Elite o7
Troa Barton I appreciate it! Indeed - I found the servers offline last night, so I focused on the training, which it still let me play.
+David Hoffnung that's a good base to start on, they fixed the servers and they are increasing reputation gains, mission payouts, and bounty voucher payouts by 20% to compensate until 14:00 GMT FEB 1.
Also if you want to get a free paint job for the eagle fill out this form don't know how long it will be valid.

The skin will be added in the next update.
Troa Barton Thanks!
Thanks! Was more in depth than most videos, you showed examples and displayed what you were talking about rather than just talking about it.
AThreePercenter Thats exactly what I wanted to accomplish :) Im Happy to hear that it was noted and appreciated. I get a lot of flak for not cutting things down, I like to be thorough.
*****
Awesome to hear! :) Thank you as well for the kind words.
Thanks for this vid. I came in saying that I'd only watch like 5 minutes but it was too compelling. Learned a lot!
Thanks for your efforts and time - this is a brilliant overview for the new player!
it is?
Good tutorial for this newb to the game fella. Thanks for posting it!
Kind of funny the target destination for the first mission is LTT-1349. Watched Ph1lt0r defending a capital ship there last week.
Masterfully flown and well explained, thank you!
Great vid Troa. I have just jumped into the world of Elite and have been a bit lost. Literally. This vid has helped heaps. :-)
Awesome video bro! So much info I didn't know you covered!!
Troa, I played this game (pipe cleaner when I was in my early 20's, at 55yr old now I seen this and totally blown away, watched yr video's and very helpful.
Game appears to have many many more controls but hey I'm jumping in again.
Good work, well done
Funny I still play that game too, but I can't put instructional videos up or I'll get flagged ;)
On a serious note, I'm happy to hear it was informative have fun once you dive in and don't worry about losing a ship in the beginning.
Troa,
A little advice please, when watching your play throughs, I heard you mention a few times a joystick and separate thruster control. Do you know if this will work with a iMac ? ? ? as using the keyboard seems to be a nine starter.
Thank you in advance
I needed this video so badly. Thank you for making this!
Thank you for watching it! Good luck commander.
Great video! You have inspired me to buy the game. Definitely gonna grab this as soon as its on sale!
Phenomenal vid!! I’d LOVE to see an updated one.
