🪐 Elite Dangerous Odyssey How to Have the Best Start New Player Beginners Guide for 2024 SuperCut

[@irishcook28]

Alright Commanders listen up, I think this is Hawkes Gaming 3rd video on how to have the best start in Elite Dangerous so pay attention because he knows his stuff. Been watching him for years and helped me get started when I was very lost years ago. I love this game and thank you Hawkes for your service to my favorite space game. o7 Commanders

This is a great guide for what to do but a terrible guide for how to do it. I need a separate guide to figure out how to do half the stuff in this video.

This should be called "how to win the game" - bought it 7 days ago and have learned everything by working through this video, and searching things when I'm stuck. Almost to the cutter....shuttling metals back and forth for that $1B is the grindiest thing so far...so happy for this guide and LOVE the exploration side of this game.

[@angrypancake4358]

TBH I dont think any new player will take away anything from this video. You are telling then what to do, without telling them why to do it or how to do it. And you are skipping over some important stuff. New player doesnt know what a 2A FSD is, or that reducing weight gives you higher jump range.

[@izawa9211]

They are new players not idiots, Less weight = better is something we know since birth

[@Qichar]

Well, darned if this isn't the silliest comment. He says several times in the video that reducing weight gives higher jump range. Also, I noted when buying ship components that they came in different grades. It was a quick 2 minute wiki search to figure out what the grades meant. Anyone who wasn't born yesterday and has played a game before can easily figure out the background information. This is not a "learn to play video games" guide, this is a guide to power grinding in Elite Dangerous, and I for one appreciate that he doesn't hold our hand any more than necessary to convey the most critical information in the shortest time possible. Some KZbinrs pad their videos for length and it's super annoying.

[@alexschulz2241]

Things I took away, follow the tutorial, wait while others do the work and sniper the enemy before they die. Snan scan scan and more scan.

[@graygreen3917]

Thank you. I am new and cannot follow this. Every time I do something slightly wrong I have to do 10 minutes of research because he skips over the basics of things. I was stuck for about 30 minutes trying to find resource extraction sites because he never told me how to find them.

Consider this video as a shortcut to mid-game, without this, you will be flying around aimlessly in space, unless that's what you're really going for, then it's fine. o7 commanders, see you in space.

Bro you literally saved me countless hours of farming and i learned to play the game because of your video! god bless, amazing guide so much helpful and detailed!

I followed this guide to the letter from start to end and after 1 week exactly I got my FC. There's a bit of googling here and there to find out how to get stuff done (like using EDSY to figure out how much materials needed to engineer the cutter) but otherwise this is a really clear guide and perfect if you have 1-3 other wingmates who also want an FC. Thanks Hawkes!

[@Cyrops]

Completely new player here. Currently stuck on first part of the video in sidewinder. No explanation how to find RES zone once inside a system. Flew around system aimlessly visiting 'undiscovered' stuff, finally found a RES zone. Go to LOW one, there's one guy being shot at by a wanted ship that is in perfect shape. Go to next zone. It's empty. Go to Hazardous, finally found system authority ships fighting wanted ships. They are 6km away, by the time I get there, all the wanted ships are gone. Idk what to do at this point, sit and wait for more to come? Went to other systems, realized I didn't have fuel scoop, self destruct ship to get back to civ faster. Go back to the system that had RES zones before to try again, no more RES zones...

[@lightberricsHDHD]

right did alll tutoriials got controls down but he says when u find ur target what target what am i lookiing or tf horrible video

[@cmdr_horatio_gimper]

Great video as always CMDR. Re the guardian pylons, I learnt very early on that it's easier (for me) to drive around and raise all the pylons first. Then it's easier to find them when you zoom round doing a speed lap to charge each one after against the timer. I always start from the 2 at the alter and zoom round charging all the others. Just calling this out as most guides show each pylon being raised and charged at the same time, and could give new users the impression it HAS to be done this way. o7

But it shows you jumping in to Resource Extraction Site (high). Is that where the combat is? I jumped in to 98878 and I have a whole list of unexplored things. Do I just have to jump to each one and look for bounties?

[@B33rdedB3lly]

Hey Hawkes! Another amazing guide, as always. Like others, I'm in the comments looking for a little more detail on the Expansion trade farming as I've been through several systems and am having shit luck getting the big score missions. Is it really just a crap shoot as to what contracts spawn, or are there more "golden ticket" specifics you look for in systems such as number of hubs or an economy combo to avoid? While running out to farm expo data is making me money, having to do it repeatedly between each system bust is so time consuming when all i want to do is make "real space cheddar" 😂 Keep up the great work bud!

Couple of questions. 1) why do you select player faction. 2) why select economy as agriculture when in the end you are doing missions like bertrandite that I believe are triggered by the industrial economy and not agriculture. As you can see, I'm confused

[@jakeconaway8704]

A quick explanation on how to use the third party app would have been nice I can find an option for high res search

[@MatthewMorris-x1e]

LOOK guys , It's a learning curve. You may not grasp things at first, You may not understand something on the first pass, and times it will feel like a grind and a bit frustrating, but be patient! If you can put the time in and are willing to learn, then the game will be rewarding in return. Follow the guides as a tool for research into how things work but ultimately forge your own path across the stars. Trying to learn and accomplish everything at once or even just retain so much information will make you feel frustrated and like you're not progressing fast enough, so i advise breaking things down into segments. Pick one task, accomplish it, and then move onto the next one. Only then will you start to progress faster and faster. Sometimes, watching these tutorials myself, i need to pause or rewatch something multiple times to fully understand the mechanics, Due to the fact i've just been playing the game and have a load of other stuff on my mind i've been doing and then trying to take in more knowledge or new mechanics can be conflicting and difficult, So again take your time and split things up into singular tasks. If you feel overwhelmed at any point, then take a step back. Take a break and think about it first. Prioritise your goals and objectives 1 at a time. Patience is key. Keeping calm will help you enjoy the game more and progress faster. Don't try to take in all the information all at once 🤯😂

[@brendanlawn8983]

Why wouldn't you give us amounts to buy at the material trader at 19:14? This guide is very helpful but as a new player you are glaring over some very needed explanations.

[@CRO55ED]

I just flew to the HIP 98878 galaxy and I'm at the star. I did the 75% slow down key but I don't see how to find the pirates. It looks like you have an extraction site targeted and are in an asteroid belt, but I don't see that anywhere. What did I do wrong? Trying to find the pirates in the beginning of the video.

[@BrianComradovichRadovich]

Trial and Error'd this one. Look for a planet HIP 98878 2 in the system map and target it. Start heading for it and mouse over the little brown circle contacts as you get close to the rings around it. Those will start showing up as extraction sites, also gives a quality rating. You want High or Hazard for best pirate results. Once you drop out, look for a lot of blinking lines flashing towards a single point, it's usually a target surrounded by the system authority. Oh, and don't ignore the "wait til under 20%" part, I got a little over-confident, and they shaved 22% of my hp off before I learned my lesson there. Once you get the hang of it, kill stealing from the system authority is pretty decent cash.

I am brand new to this game. How do I know the person is a pirate, when I scan it says wanted is that it?? And no one else is attacking so how do I wait for the health to go low

[@Admiral8Q]

You just point your ship at the other ship, target lock on, and let it scan on it's own. With better scanners it goes faster. If no one else is fighting the pirate, you're on your own! Ether try to fight and maybe other friendlies will show up, or just flee. In FSD flight, look for "Weapons Fire" signals. Those are usually good guys fighting a bad guy, so to speak. "Conflict" though is usually two factions fighting, so unless you don't mind getting a bad rep hit with one faction, (picking a side), avoid those signals. Also, if you come out of FSD close to a busy planet/moon, especially one with resources for mining, there is often s little battle or two going on between a pirate and a 'good guy'. Hey I'm a relatively new player too.

[@yourdonefor4454]

When you scan a ship, it will show [Wanted] in red text under their name if they are an NPC pirate.

Like @yourdonefor4454 said, after scanning them (singular) it will show "wanted". Then you should either fight, or run away. If you're referring to CMDR Hawke's statement to wait for others to bring their >(singular) shields down, if no one else (NPC's) are fighting then you are on your own. If the pirate is not attacking you, as soon as you attack, then they>(singular) will attack back. In a generic sidewinder I would recommend retreating. Remember this, a friendly will show up as green, a neutral as yellow, a hostile enemy as red. I made the mistake early on thinking that ment health, so I was attacking the green. Oops! 😆

Cool, now I think I have a plan for what to do after I get a few creds behind me, i suck at not having at a f landing😂

37:23 guys if your local rep isn’t going up after selling cartographics, you need to exit to main menu and go back in just like hawkes did. But he didn’t say anything abt that so i was confused for a few minutes

Noob Commanders. Do not be like me. When farming for High Grade Emissions, JUMP INTO SUPERCRUISE before you look at your filters. I have just spent a week wondering why I got absolutely no emissions hits until I rewatched and hey presto! First system I got 99 Pharmacuetical Isolators. *facepalm* Oh and nowadays, these materials are dropping in far greater quantities, so yay! Now to get a week of my life back, Forest. ;) Update after 2 weeks: Playing in solo, I just crossd the 1.5 billion credit mark using these tips. If you can fly decently, evading interdictions in the Type 9 is usually easy, but they are a PITA with stacked mission. If you get a pirate bounty from your chosen minor faction, look to see which mission this is. It can be easier to abandon the mission and suffer the reputation loss (which will not bring you out of Allied if you are fully Allied). Otherwise the pirate interdictions can be twice in a single system. Not fun.

*Me watching this from the inside of the roomy Corvette*: "Hmm, yes. I'm sure I could learn from this."

I am kinda stuck at the start where i go and have to "wait" before i kill those pirates for bounty... the problem is that they aren't fighting... or if they are... there are 3-4-5 pirates vs. 1 ship....

[@Admiral8Q]

Honestly, you could do what I did to get started. Just run a bunch of courier delivery missions instead.

Im just about to get started on this guide after getting back into the game following a few years off. Given that theres new FSD’s and engineering has been changed, is there anything i should do differently from the guide? Thank you for all the help by the way!!! o7

[@Slingoh]

great video thanks just what I needed to decide on buying the game

[@HawkesGaming]

Youre most welcome! I hope you enjoy yourself!

[@pawn6]

Want to be friends? I like helping new players.

[@awildtimmy]

Is Odyssey the same as the version on ps4? After beating the pilot licence tutorial that the game immediately dropped me in I realised this seems like a super hardcore space exploration sim so I came to yt for tips 👉👈

[@zixiaohuo]

If this game has internal views of ships, it will be the best space game currently. Better than the bug star citizen

[@AlbertLias-l7g]

Best video on best start in ED Ody I have ever watched. I just wish it would have been there when I started playing some years ago. What an incredible treasure trove of information for new players. Perfectly clear, no nonsense, plus it's so much fun to listen to you. Keep up the good work cmdr & see you in the black. Yours sincerely CMDR Alastair Sanchez, AXIN

[@Admiral8Q]

I literally started just a couple days or so before he released this tutorial video. Can't play all the time, busy in real life, but hell it's a good tutorial. And the cheesy humour makes it fun. I'm pretty well at half way through the stuff in this video. Just about to do the Guardian site at 27:00 to 33:00 I'm CMDR Joxiilb 8Q

[@christurner6854]

time stamps would amplify your video. liked and subbed

[@konifox]

man awesome tutorial , but damn its allot of info for a beginner 🙂

[@PulinOutMyPeter]

At 3:53 how the heck did you find that extraction site?

[@kevinku8847]

I am thinking the same....how how how?!

[@almost9061]

[@metagodX]

36:1 to trade Atypical Encryption Archives for Datamined Wake Exceptions. So in order to get the 20 that is needed I need to have 720 Atypical. This isn't even including all the other stuff that is needed. So when you say you should be able to get it done in 1 trip, its actually several. :( Unless reputation makes a difference?
