Sepsisticle Solosanthrapist Technically that is possible. They could be using a special type of version that emits different sound frequencies depending on different aspect of the game. As long as combat isn’t their main thing it is possible. Although most likely r/whoosh

I went to Hutton years ago when I upgraded from lowly Eagle to T6, my first ever medium ship. I was so proud of it. I made the trip as a sort of pilgrimage. Bought as many mugs as I could. Then went to Lave to get some brandy to fill them up. Good times.

[@HeyYouYouAreFinallyAwake]

That feel when you first buy a ship outside of the beginner stuff is a very proud moment and you feel really great about your achievement. Even after you've played the game for longer and fly a Cutter or an Anaconda, you'll still look at your first major ship fondly and recall all the memories you made with it.

[@loganmiller3167]

I went there in a sidewinder because I was super new and wanted to do stuff close to sol, realized how far it was when it took over an hour to get there and arrived on reserve fuel. Thank god for the fuel scoop lmao

[@KajuTheRudeMonke]

I just went there for a free Anaconda. Totally worth it.

[@thatrandomguycommenting1261]

A good place for beginners is LHS 3615. The station there sells 18 ships including the asp ex, Dbx, python and conda. As well as about 70ish percent of the modules and hardpoints in the game. And it's about 2-5 jumps from the newb systems. My friend found it randomly after starting a new cmdr on xbox.

[@trickydicky2594]

I lived in Colonia for a month with a player group before I stopped playing for a while and there are some things that people who haven't been should know. That is if you decide to go. 1: While not required, a guardian fsd booster is highly recommended and it saves a ton of time if you have one. 2: make sure you have a medium ship (ASP/Python type) left in the bubble for transferring modules as some just aren't sold in Colonia. 3: DO NOT EXPECT IT TO BE QUICK! It will feel like forever getting there and it can take you 2+ hours of constant jumping to get there, so taking breaks is recommended. 4: The only ships you should use to get there is an ASP or Anaconda. Once you're there, don't expect it to be like a stop at 7-eleven: Colonia is just like the bubble but smaller, and there is always plenty of work to be done. 5: Be very careful of player groups and under no circumstances piss one off. Including the one I was in, Colonia player groups are very powerful and with a high player to system ratio, it's very easy to cover a lot of ground and find someone quickly.

[@Ep1cure]

When in the galaxy map, check out the population. It's a good indicator of how well resourced the station will be. This is particularly useful if you're off exploring.

[@ILWeatherguy87]

Sadly I believed in that 'free' Anaconda, and all I got from it was the Mug that I ended up having to jettison to a NPC Pirate as apparently he really wanted that mug. This was when I first started playing a couple months ago, I'm now much wiser now even in that short time span for fall for that 'trick' again.

[@Exigeous]

Ouch, haven't actually known someone to actually fall for it - that's rough buddy.

[@zoetaz169]

[@joskarifinaukr6503]

I think Hutton Orbital gets a bad rap, but I love it when someone asks for a good trade route. I usually tell them to sell Hutton mugs at Jaques Station, and sell Jaques stills at Hutton Orbital. I'm pretty sure one person decided to heed my advice. And yes, I have done exactly that. Back when the very first Colonia CGs were going on, and we had four weeks to deliver goods over that 23kLy route, I traded mugs and stills alongside the usual materials. Not too many people can brag about earning exploration Elite through trading, but I managed it. Probably going to earn combat Elite through trading as well, and trading Elite through exploration.

[@Exigeous]

It's funny you mention that long CG to Jaques - that was the first week I got serious about learning the game. I remember thinking "what is this CG thing" and when I saw how far it was I thought "fuck that!" - I didn't look at CGs for months as I was sure they were all crap!

When I first started playing, I wanted to get to Empire space ASAP. The first Imperial station I ran across was Kopal Orbital, in the Tsim Binba system. It's been my home ever since. It's nothing special, but isn't too far from the Empire's home system, and also has a lot of REZ systems surrounding it, most of which are Empire aligned. It's also close to LYR systems, so if I want a discount, it's just a short hop across. Oh, and it's fairly close to its parent star, so no long SC journey!

[@EricLidiak]

I use Kamahendu as my main station, though the two Sirus stations sound good. Tip: To make going to and from Colonia easier, bookmark the Blue Star line stations on the way there and back. They are Kamahendu, Rohini, Gandharvi, and Kashyapa. All three have orbital stations, so you don't even need Horizons to use it.

Ohm city has been home for years. Has always had the discount, never fails. One piece of advice though is to know that the other major terminal in the system is controlled by the pirate faction that you've been slaughtering in the rez sites.

Either run some missions for them in Ohm city to keep them from going hostile or do your rez hunting (etc) in a neighbor system.

However, around December new player factions started appearing nearby and rolling back my home faction from some of the systems I had taken, and I left to pursue other goals.

[@slackrbot]

You've completely neglected most of what needs to go in to choosing a home station. I recently moved home, and these are the things I considered (1 hop = ~14ly): 1) Hazrez within 500ls (closer is better) of a star 1 hop so away; so that I can take missions from home base - kill pirate missions are generally 1 system away, so having that hazrez in your home system isn't so handy. Ideally that hazrez planet should have a station, for emergency repairs, and easy rearming 2) Interstellar Factor with Large pad within 1 hop, for convenience 3) All three materials traders within 1 hop of my DBX (~60ly) (inara has a finder for these, makes it a lot easier) 4) Around 8-12 populated systems within 1 hop, for mission variety 5) Centrally located to the distribution of Engineers 6) High Security (unless you want to be a pirate, then Low Security) 7) High population, high tech station for good shipyard and outfitting 8) Within ~100ls of hyperspace drop point I also made sure to book mark all of the things above for convenience (IF, Traders, Bounty Hunting grounds, etc).

I hear that place sucks.

[@reign_of_stuka8991]

Yeah but the place is also so nice looking it just *pulls* you to its beauty

[@LegionOfEclaires]

Katzenstein Dock in 36 Ophuichi is quite nice. It's basically Hutton Orbital for Large Ships...

[@mrboleus8240]

Mine are CLEVE HUB and RUSSEL RING in ERAVATE. I buy resources in FRIGAHA, outpost ENGLE ORBITAL. Weagered billions of CR doing this route.

[@DrIndy2]

Glad Im not the only one who considers Eravate home, specifically Ackerman market.

[@TheeLinkeer]

@@DrIndy2 Ackerman Market is my home too heck

[@rupert5066]

Geez, that used to be my home, too!

[@mollygrubber]

LOL I just decided to choose Eravate as my home system last night.

[@PlaviStrumf]

Yap Cleve hub too...the whole eravate system...it just kinda happend I didn't really intend too.But that's home for now

[@elitehonor117]

Sol is a great place to make your base. Earth has 4 stations with ~1 light second of it, and Ive found a certain mission to a certain system that nets you easily 20-30 mil credits an hour for basically no risk (so far). You can 'board flip' by checking out the six big stations in Sol, with an added outpost and at least 3 planetary landings if you want

[@vib80]

Jaques isn't such a great place for a base in Colonia... it's largely a tourist trap, lots of Belugas going in and out, and the locals stay away. Colonia Hub is the place to be in that system... it's one of the best outfitting stations in the region, but it's also a planetary base. The other good outfitting stations: - Carcosa/Robadrin Rock (asteroid base) - Kojeara/Tolagarf's Junkyard (asteroid, the raw material trader for the region) - Ratraii/Colonia Dream (close to star, the encoding trader, but no selling of exploration data) - Ogmar/Whirling (close to star) and Ogmar/Dervish Platform (no large pads) Coeus/Foster Terminal is a nice scenic megaship, however the outfiting isn't good, but it does have the manufactured material trader.

[@Exigeous]

Thanks for sharing this, great information as few of us call Colonia home.

[@bronzebow4235]

Great vid as always. I must comment that one other station selection would be a player group home system station.

[@Exigeous]

Yep, that's another good obvious choice I could have included - thanks for sharing.

[@deputydrip4520]

My home station Aulin Enterprise got attacked by Thargoids, the whole system is under attack :(

[@r3load3z34]

GTFO man

[@germanoslav46]

did you ever return?

[@DimSum9685]

Rookie to the game. Babbage Gateway Ceos. Was told of it and Sothis early on. Went str8 there. Then bounced back and forth between that, Sol and 109 Piscium (any Leon Green controlled space generally.)

[@blakeberry182]

Sol permit at Petty Officer, not Ensign.

[@Exigeous]

Yeah, damn - sorry about that. I even scripted it correctly but said it incorrectly - apologies.

[@blakeberry182]

CMDR Exigeous no worries! CMDR aDvious1 at your service lol

[@mrfreeman1763]

Diaguandri and LHS 20 are my main systems for buying and outfitting new ships.

[@djviperx]

HHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHHA I spilled my coffee when I saw you recommending Hutton Orbital....caught me completely off guard...well played! lol XDDDD

[@justadummy8076]

Is Nomen Vision a good base? It’s where I currently am and can buy pretty much any ship

[@jamesbrink7161]

Actually there was 1 free ship and it was an insult, the cobra mkIV.

[@SirKaldar]

That wasn't free, it's only available to buy for lifetime pass holders or players who upgraded to horizons before a certain time. No one else can get it at all, and they probably aren't missing out. I suppose I should get it one day just for the collection, but the speed and manoeuvrability look horrible. Actually, thinking about there were free ships if you pre-ordered the game or backed the kickstarter. I got a free Eagle and a couple of paintjobs, but I can't remember what others there were. I pretty sure for one kickstarter level there was a half upgraded (mix of D, C, and B modules), exploration Cobra 3. I remember that because the first CMDRs to circumnavigate the galaxy both had them and used them for the trip, it took them about 18 months.

[@Cxrman]

Made my way to LHS 20 last night and made it my home base. Was staying at Hilmers Ring in Andlit for my first few days.

[@davewright8206]

im at shinrarta and not elite in any disipline :) ) :)

[@brendanmills5101]

dave wright how?

[@corin418]

I have that too. You get a permit to Shin for participating in the beta.

[@HipposHateWater]

@Brendan Mills Just fly in from a neighboring system via supercruise. Takes a couple weeks of AFK-flying, but it's well worth it.

[@libordostal886]

@dave aah we have a beta backer... :D @brendan Yeah... Fuel is not important :D

[@stevej1910]

lol

[@bandicute803]

I came to this video expecting to not see my home station, but there it is. Ohm City has been my home for nearly a year, I and a group of friends who I haven't talked with in a long while found it after some missions and decided to move there. We would gear up and run to the high asteroid zones, then run back if at low health and cache our bounties. My friend Preadths would run a PVP Anaconda that always impressed the hell out of me as before meeting him I had never really seen Anacondas. My friend Madjick would run one of the Diamondbacks equipped to kill, he was a very good pilot with that funky ship of his. The last person other than me was DeathSquad, who would run either an Imperial Eagle, an Imperial Clipper, one of the Asps, or a Vulture. He did very well in his piloting and was quick to get to the target. I, the last person in the group, was a proud Cobra MK IV pilot, and I still am. I wasn't the fastest to get there and couldn't survive well on my own, but I still had great eyes for spotting targets. I switched to a Vulture near the end of my journey with them, and I must say it was not the best ship for what we were doing. I don't really remember what made us stop playing, but I do hope I can get at least one of them to start playing again. If you for some stupid reason like wanting to kill me or meet me, I'm on Xbox as CMDR RealBandicute at the time of posting this, and I can be found either at Ohm City or in the surrounding systems. Good luck out there pilots, and stay dangerous.

[@nightrous3026]

Elite Dangerous: ED Erectile Dysfunction: ED Im sorry.

[@Exigeous]

Hmm, from my channel obviously I relate to the first, maybe you relate to the second? :D I'm sorry, just had to.

[@p0tat098]

this doesnt apply to me, my pp hard

[@dha12oks]

rofl

[@gungan5822]

Fisher Dock in LP 128-9 sells a lot of modules. I used it forever until I moved one system over to LHS 28 for a shorter arrival time. Also, 2/3 material traders within 1 jump.

[@ghettodollarstore4766]

My home base is gresly dock in nanomam, I did alot of trade missions there in my adder then a keelback later on and now it's a sentimental destination for me.

[@Playbahnosh]

I made my first home on Tun. Only one station (Tun's Wart), close to arrival (~200ls) and most of the factions are Fed aligned. A little out of the way, but very good place to farm Fed rank, tons of high paying jobs if you get allied. Also, I think every good ED player should make the pilgrimage to Hutton Orbital. For the Mug!

[@xAo2xSmurf]

I was going to hold up in Lembava but Diaguandri is looking mighty spicy. So thanks for pointing that out. It's worth noting that system LP 410-81 near Lembava has an in system loop for drop off missions. So if you do a lot of trading or want to farm trade rank/credits, this system's proximity to both is amazing. Be careful of pirates though.

[@delta4phoenix4]

I am currently at home at Leif Enterprise in the Run System. It's an Asteroid Base with a Shipyard in a planetary ring. The is even a Hazardous Extraction Site nearby.

[@KneelB4Bacon]

I like Deciat as a starting home base. Lots of landable planets, mining resources, a boom economy, high security and a local Engineer who specializes in Frame Shift Drives (up to level 5).

[@davidwainwright1861]

Serebov Staion in Yakabugai has all the services we are used to, large landing pads and is less than 17ly away from every kind of material trader and tech broker. its around 300 Ls from droppoint and its very close to the starting point on the game. i recommend this station for people of all experience levels.

[@Hauerization]

Im going with Steiner city right now, just beacuse it looks delicious from space and outfitting is fairly decent for a somewhat casual player. Good tip, I promise.

[@sirdee9607]

Great Video, O7 and happy new year

[@kylewilson1432]

Beckman Station in Aphra is another good system for bounty hunters. Low res, high res, and haz res are all within mere light seconds of Beckman Station. If you are a new player this system is only a few jumps from the Erevate starting sytem.

[@EricH_1983]

Done the hutton run 4 times now! Good mugs..
