I would recommend The Pilot's videos where he reviews every ship in a very entertaining way. There are definitely other ship review videos out there but I find myself just watching his videos for the entertainment.

Hawkes Gaming is also another great channel for guides and information about Elite Dangerous. Definitely a good creator for people wanting to learn different play styles. Also has a good ship review video which is how I stumbled across him.

Lastly I'd recommend Mattius if you're into the mysteries and unsolved parts of Elite Dangerous. Goes into a lot of different theories and lays out any evidence there has been over the years. Has a few videos on Raxxla theories which I find interesting but have little hope for actually being found.

Not exactly tech but she uses tech to practice for her job. She's a rally driver that also uploads sim racing footage. If you've ever played Dirt Rally 2 then you know it's not an easy game and she makes it look like Mario Kart.

Look. You want to be a billionaire right? Follow my lead and I'll get you to a few hundred million because I'm too lazy to actually grind for billions. What you want to do is save up for a small or medium ship that can hold a bunch of passengers and with a decent jump range. 20+ Ly would be nice. Why not a large ship? Because you can't land one at the space port or it will explode from how much money you have on your ship. I bought a Dolphin not because it's meant to do passenger missions, but because it's baller and I have to fake it before I make it. Plus I want to trick the passengers into paying top dollar for a ticket when they see the luxurious Dolphin waiting for them only to board it and get crammed into economy class cabins. Anyways, what you're going to do is go to Robigo Mines in the Robigo system. There you will find a bunch of dirty criminals (and a few lovely tourists) that want to see some POI 60ish Ly away. All you have to do is jump to that system, scan the beacon by targeting it and staring at it until it gets uncomfortable, then fly back to Robigo. That's it. 15-20 million credits per trip once you get max rep. You don't need to invest into anything but passenger cabins and in fact you want to make your ship as light as possible to cut down on each trip. But aren't the passengers criminals? Yes! But Robigo Mines is a tiny space port with no mail slot so you don't get scanned when docking. If you're looking for action this ain't it. But that doesn't get you millions of credits in pretty much 10-15 minutes. Put on some music or a movie and just be a space bus driver. I did this in my Dolphin until I could buy an Anaconda. Then I also bought a Python with the money left over. Backwards but... never let them know your next move.

TLDR

• Get a small or medium ship (Dolphin if you're a BOSS)

• Fill that ship full of passenger cabins

• Go to Robigo Mines and bring criminals to a floating piece of metal in space

• Make millions of credits in 20 minutes or less

  

  

Nathan Drake from the Uncharted Series. You know he's got some great stories about exploration and travel. I'd also go on a deep dive about conspiracies, ancient mysteries and history since he's pretty knowledgeable on those subjects. Plus if we're just hanging out he seems like a pretty chill guy.

When I was in middle school there was a game called GunZ The Duel that I played with a few friends. I was pretty young at the time so I couldn't really grasp the movement mechanics of the game but I knew it had a steep learning curve. I played it for a few months, got wrecked, moved on with my life. Then I saw this video that goes into how CRAZY the movement mechanics are. If you've seen how StarCraft pros play it looks like their hands are dancing on their keyboards and they are usually around 200 APM (actions per minute) in GunZ some of the best players are doing 600+ APM! Wild.

TLDR Old game almost no one knows about with the most insane movement mechanics.

I recently jumped back in to Elite Dangerous after taking a break for a couple of years and the first thing I noticed is how they have made it easier to increase your jump distance. I'm no expert in Elite Dangerous but I've grinded a couple hundred million credits in the past. I never bothered with engineering my FSD to increase the jump range because it was such a long grind to get the materials needed. When I came back to Elite Dangerous I decided to make it my goal to at least partially upgrade my FSD so I looked online for some guides when I came across some posts talking about material traders and how you can trade up or down different materials. I had my FSD upgraded to level 3 in a couple hours. o7

To me Elite Dangerous has always been a game about mystery and exploration with moments of horror sprinkled in. I'd like to hear other peoples stories about what unexplained or strange things they've come across in Elite Dangerous. Screenshots and videos would be cool too.

The Fuel Rats have fuel. You don't. Any questions?

Remove all flight assists to save weight so you can fly through the mail slot as fast as possible. It will impress everybody.
