So... I've made a quick guide on an exploration build, with understanding of third party tools (Coriolis and Inara) and some tips on the career itself (specially that could grant more CR). It's foccused on propose a cheap exploration ship that can help new players to get a ASP later.

Beginners that already set their minds onto exploration in Elite Dangerous could use this guide as a first start. Wish I've seen it on my first days, which were spent doing meaningless missions.

o7 Commanders!
In this guide I have explained each category of the outfitting and what each module has unique to add for your ship (except limpets).

A quick and simple guide for beginners, just to know the menus and how to navigate through them... without too many complications, as we all know how challenging it can be to get started in Elite Dangerous. Just the basics, to learn without being scared.

i recently was doing some mercenary work for an allied squadron, a system take over, so the battle was with the controlling faction, i'd left my main combat low cz in another system where i was fighting another war, so i only had my all energy weapon combat corvette which i built for medium high cz, i was in the mood for some explosions so i got one of my hazres mat collecting corvettes out and did a quick conversion for cz, didn't have hull reins pinned, or any size 3 seekers, but the vid shows how to do it, keep an eye on the bottom and you'll see why i chose the modules i did, relating to shield and hull when i stripped out the cargo bay and multi limpet collector, it'll do, but my preference would've been a size 3 seeker rack, but packhounds are fun if you don't hit an ally with those "drunk" missiles, lol

My first build guide, a Bounty Hunting/Conflict Zone Vulture build I still use

W

Back when the Thargoid invasion began, nearly two years ago, CMDR KineticImpulser of the Guard Frequency Response in the Andceeth system schooled a class of rookie anti-xeno pilots on how to outfit a Faulcon deLacy Krait Mk II as a Thargoid Scout bug killer. We took the liberty of recording the session.

It's a step-by-step guide that takes you through the prerequisites (Have you got enough credits? Do you have the engineering materials you need?), through module selection and then configuring these modules to get the best out of them. Finally, there are a few tips for Thargoid combat.

Note: This video predates the availability of Caustic Sink Launchers, which would be a great (but optional) addition to the build.

With the Thargoid War likely to come to an end in the next few months, if you haven't already shot some Thargoids, now's a great time. With a ship like the one in the video, it's really not as hard as you might think!

This is a basic introduction for beginner on how to build an exploration ship. I hope it's useful for you.
