Some fantastic responses already, but I want to highlight two resources I've not seen mentioned yet:

  1. EDCoPilot -

This is a FREE virtual assistant, that brings in a huge amount of depth to your ED experience. It works with Voice commands, but also links to several text to speech services to give you information relevant to your gameplay. I also love the space chatter feature, bringing the other ships around you to life with comms.

  1. Pilot's Trade Network - discord.gg/ptn

    https://pilotstradenetwork.com/


    A friendly and welcoming community covering all aspects of gameplay, with the motto "We exist to make you rich" They can help you out with anything, but most importantly credits!

o7 CMDRs. My top 10 content creators for Elite Dangerous that you should definitely seek out as a new player for lessons, guides, news, and entertainment are as follows:

  1. The Buur Pit - The best game news, updates, resources, and cinematics.

  1. Galnet News Digest - They read the news so you don't have to.

  1. Hawkes Gaming - The best up-to-date, in-depth ED new player guides.

  1. EDTutorials by Exigeous - The most extensive library of guides covering everything Elite.

  2. Brother Sabathius - Most informative & chill streamer who's an expert at the game and active with Odyssey gameplay.

  3. Vindicator Jones - Learn to dogfight like a pro in one afternoon with VJ's combat guides.

  4. Lave Radio - The longest running ED podcast, recently celebrating their 500th episode, delivering news, Elite-inspired ads, and discussion with fun Commanders.

  5. CMDR Mechan - #1 source for Anti Xeno Combat, Anti Xeno ship builds, and Thargoid War updates. Overseer of the Anti Xeno Initiative Discord.

  6. Ghost Giraffe - Renowned YouTube streamer, always trying the new Odyssey features on stream and has a good time doing so.

  7. Breaker of Worlds - Shameless plug; I'm CMDR Gadnok, Breaker of Worlds. I've been making Elite Dangerous content on YouTube for 3 years now with the launch of the Odyssey expansion. I've made some guides, but mostly focus on exploration and AX combat by making music videos featuring ED cinematics, and gameplay footage showing how fun and awesome this simulation truly is!

There's countless more creators out there for this great game, it lends highly to the creative mind both in entertainment value and raw galactic beauty. New players will quickly learn that Elite isn't so much of a game as it is a lifestyle, with many resources to help find what you need. See you in the black Commanders.

I think other members have already listed most of the essential sources like the Frontier Forums, Inara.cz, and edsm.net and more. I take a slightly different approach that might be helpful for anyone in a similar situation to mine.

As a brand-new player, I need to absorb a lot of information - enough to feel like earning a Ph.D. hehe

While I’m an experienced gamer with EVE Online experience, this background can cause confusion since both games have many similar terms and concepts that can mean different things. To counter this, I created an AI assistant called Astranavia (Asto + Navigation), which helps me comprehend the content more quickly and effectively. She is now part of my Ship crew =)

Here is the prompt if anyone wishes to create one too:

Instructions Summary:

    Purpose:
        The GPT is designed to assist users transitioning from EVE Online to Elite Dangerous, with a focus on translating EVE Online concepts into their Elite Dangerous equivalents.

    Sources and Information:
        The GPT references recent and expert-level sources, including official forums, Reddit communities, Inara.cz, Coriolis.io, EDSM.net, YouTube channels, Lave Radio, Canonn Research, EDCodex, and Alpha Orbital.
        The information provided should be based on the most current knowledge (within the last year) and relevant to advanced space MMO players.

    Contextual Responses:
        The GPT should ask for clarification if a query could have multiple interpretations due to overlapping terminology between the games.
        Responses should cater to a user with advanced knowledge of space MMOs, using their EVE Online experience to guide them through Elite Dangerous.

    Tone and Detail:
        The GPT should be informative, using technical language appropriate for an experienced audience.
        The responses should provide detailed explanations and comparisons between the two games, ensuring that the user fully understands the context.

    Tools and Features:
        The GPT should utilize tools like Coriolis.io for ship fitting recommendations and other community tools or resources to enhance the user's understanding of Elite Dangerous mechanics.
        The responses should be practical and actionable, providing clear guidance on how to achieve specific goals within the game.

This is a site that can help you with many questions about everything, in it you can find a ranking guide on how to rank up faster and easier... you can also find locations for Guardian blueprints fragment weapon and modules and vessel. It has a lot of cool content that can be useful to you. I always use this site

www.spansh.co.uk

This is a very useful site for Exomastery. If you are having trouble finding planets with some Exomastery, this site will help you find them. It also has several search features, for example, searching for the route of wealth or searching for neutron stars... I use it to farm some Exomastery by channeling plants on planets that can be worth up to 40 million credits.

inara.cz

This is the famous Elite Dangerous "google", here you will find everything you need, I believe there is nothing that is not on this site. Here you will find everything you have doubts about and many Elite Dangerous players know this site for researching nearby stations and Thargoid wars and much more.

If you're just beginning to explore the universe of Elite Dangerous, there are several valuable resources that can greatly assist you on your journey. The Inara website offers a wide range of information about the game, from news and guides to detailed insights on ships, modules, and commodities. It's also an excellent platform to connect with other players and join squadrons. Another essential resource is the Elite Dangerous Wiki, a treasure trove of information on the game's lore, mechanics, and updates, making it ideal for those who want to dive deep into the Elite Dangerous universe. To engage with the community, the Elite Dangerous Forum is the perfect place to ask questions, share experiences, and receive advice from seasoned players.

In addition to websites and forums, there are content creators who produce highly useful materials for beginners. The Pilot, for instance, is known for his ship review videos, providing invaluable tips for new players. Hawkes Gaming, on the other hand, offers well-structured and easy-to-follow tutorials and guides, perfect for those just starting out. Lastly, the streamer NinjaSpaceUnicorn is recognized for her friendly demeanor and willingness to help new players during her live streams on Twitch, where she shares real-time tips and guidance. These resources and content creators will give you a solid foundation to get the most out of your Elite Dangerous experience.
