I also am feeling clueless.I love this game so much I have completely started over like 5 times now. I get to where you pic a job to do like go mine uranium. Ok great, where the hell do I find uranium??? I look on my list of places to go and see a (high) mining site? I go out and explore and find nothing. I put out my hard points and point at stuff to scan…. Nothing… I have watched many videos only to be more frustrated.

[@RookiesRules]

He really does, he misses out explaining so many smaller steps during the core mining parts. I've rewatched about 5 times and I still have no clue how seismic charges work, all of mine just bounce off the roid

[@Cosmoecono]

@@RookiesRules watch his vid on core mining if u still don’t understand it’s really good

[@mishterpreshident]

As a new player, it took me quite a while to actually finish what this tutorial taught me how to do. Found this vid about a month ago, and began following. Very quickly made enough $$$ to buy an anaconda, so I did. Then I discovered the Phantom, fell in love, worked on engineering to get it's jump range up, unlocked about 8 engineers. Then I discovered combat, bought a Chieftain, and did a few wing missions. Eventually, I got down to about $40M in the bank and decided to get back to mining to make some more cheddar. But this time I've been mining in the anaconda, using the python as a fast hauler. Been doing that for the last couple days and am sitting at 97% Elite trader status. Would have been there 2 weeks ago but I've been too distracted having fun with all this cheddar!! Thanks, Hawkes!

[@MrTroch22]

damn.. i started 3 days ago and i just go to 1 million doing trading and courier missions. Its a struggle! lol

In 2021 Elite Dangerous is for you if: 1) you have no job, no hobby and no life, willing to travel to almost every mission above 10 real-time min; 2) you like to grind, grind and more grind; 3) you can ignore annoying bugs, annoying rules, repetitive and boring gameplay; 4) you are ready to spend more time googling things than actually playing, because this game is THE MOST unintuitive and unnecessarily complicated one I've ever played with no useful tutorial whatsoever; 5) you are ok with no goal in the game; 6) you like meditative games; 7) you like realistic cosmos and starships. Advice: just go play No Man's Sky instead.

Thank you for the guide! I started recently and it's been absolutely a blast, especially since I was completely lost in the beginning. I just got up to an asp explorer and started learning how to core mine. All your guides are super useful and informative! Thanks again!

[@coocato]

Also, a note about overlaps: While they don't increase the amount of cores, it DOES increase the type of cores, meaning that in double overlaps most cores will be musgravite.

[@razaelll]

I noticed this with overlapping platinum hotspots. The shape is as common as normal (like, 1 out of 5), they are just muuuuch more likely to contain platinum. Same with alexandrite and ltd, so I would assume this applies to any mineral/metal.

If you're new to Elite Dangerous, make sure you watch Hawkes videos, it helped me restart everything and start making space bucks real quick.

Bruh, I just started this game, literally can’t even fly the ship properly and Hawkes’ FIRST recommendation for new players is to collect combat bounties from groups of pirates in ship to ship combat?

This was my first port of call for a good starter video to send her, as well as the stackable wing mission team start video. Great guide as always Hawkes. Wasn't too long ago I was watching your guides myself to get a good start ;)

[@HawkesGaming]

Awesome!! Now you can teach him the ropes too like a space boss!

[@alistairblackshaw6859]

Thanks Hawkes, great guide. It got me into a python super quick and helped me learn core mining from the point of being complete space newb. If others are struggling to recognise cores just persevere. Once you find a few you'll get it and you'll be farming space lemons in no time.

[@zebdawson3687]

This game just came to Game Pass on Xbox, so this is MUCH appreciated! Edit: maybe I spoke too soon. I can’t even manage fly the ship, yet this dude’s FIRST recommendation for brand new players is to go collect combat bounties from groups pirates? Yikes. I think maybe a delivery mission would be a good place to start, not ship to ship combat against multiple enemies.

[@damianlamure6922]

Now I am already on my 5th trip with the Python and very close to Elite rank thanks to your help. Maybe it took me a little longer than it should but I am enjoying this game a lot. Keep up the great job.

Thank you for adding clips from UHF, I will now watch it while Elite downloads.

[@Robot-Overlord]

Dang no way. Came across your video a day after this question popped into my mind haha. Sweet vid man. Thanks a ton for keeping this up.

[@Dantprime]

I appreciate this guide and the density of information that it contains. There's a lot of guides I've skipped because they've got no real info aside from repeating tutorials or just memeing. My boyfriend got me this game as a early christmas present so I'm doing a bit of research before diving in with him. This game is pretty complicated but I'm looking forward to gitin' gud. I particularly appreciate the heads up on scanning ships before shooting them, as that likely would've been something I missed as I'm too bloodthirsty lmao.

I just watched your old 'best start' video for ED and was wondering if it was out of date. And then this came up on my feed: amazing timing!

[@astrixx]

Thanks so much, I basically went from 0 to hero with this guide. Seriously, a few tens of hours playing and I'm over 150mil and running a python because of following this guide closely. May have been shorter, but I spent a lot of time just learning other stuff like FA off flying and exploring random planets in VR lol.

[@heathsaunders7426]

No longer a beginner,but I just love the videos and still manage to learn something useful every time. Keep up the great work lord of cheddar 👍

[@noisepollution42]

Very helpful video, ED is hard to get into! Minor issue with the Python build in the description; it's 0.1 over the power output so when you deploy at a site it will offline your cargo hatch. Either upgrade power plant to 6A or get clever with the priorities so it changes state as you deploy/retract. I wasn't paying attention when I dropped into a ring and it took me a while to figure out my hatch was powered off.

[@kenputernut1]

@Hawks Gaming Though the long-range exploration has been nerfed, you just had a lower yield run on this one. I still made 12.2m from just 20 jumps.

[@klsinn]

The amount and density of information in here is amazing, and I know that doesn't happen by accident. Thank you!

Hey man Thank you for this video. It has helped me out tremendously. Just got my ASP Explorer ready for Core mining and it's all thanks to you and your UHF references. Love that movie so much

[@technoviking2415]

A double musgravite spot wont spawn more rocks but it will increase the chance of a musgravite core

[@paulkierman5088]

A better power set up for the python is with a 6A power plant and a 4A life support to boost the integrity back up. The 7A power plant is no good as its over by 0.1 which means you have to switch off a module, which you failed to mention if you go with your set up.

Watched this several times and learned a lot, but the mining just isn't working. I drift around for HOURS and might find one core. Very few light up bright, and when they do, they don't have that black grid but I prospect them anyway thinking I might be second guessing myself, but they end up being duds. I went back to detail scanning planets because I was making more money doing that than wasting hours on end in an asteroid field.

Hey man, I'm new to ED, your vid helped me out a great deal, It got me on track making money, it told me about fuel scooping etc. So far I have some hours in, though not a speed run, made a half a billion in a few days due to the nfo you shared here. Very much enjoying ED... once I got the hang of super cruise LOL. Thanks again. Edit: BTW I never watched the vid on fuel scooping, just watch you do it in the vid was enough for me to know what to do. Fuel scoop all the time doing road to riches, no issues.

I’m downloading the game right now. This will do perfectly to get me started. Thank you!

Hawk gives the best info on any game he touches, and what's more important is he cares about the community... not just his subs. Thanks man, I know you fell off Elite, I play around on occasion with my brother and you always hype me up.... watching your most recent review of Odessy I shut the game off, felt your sadness.
