Picked the name Bacon because I love bacon. I miss bacon. It misses me. Not allowed to have bacon where I live. Not fair. So I like to use the name Bacon and see it everywhere. So that usually means I have to play well.

New to the game, looking for tips. I'm resilient. I'll be around for awhile. Catch you guys around.

Welcome, Captain

CE is a vast game with a lot to take in and learn. But take small bites at it and you'll be fine. Make sure you do the starter missions and work out what type of main profession you want to do. USE the player base both HERE in the forums and in Discord Chat.

We are all here to help you in your quest to learn more about CE, so don't be worried about asking questions.

Most of all - Have Fun!

Haha - liking the name Bacon, great meeting you FitzBacon

Thank you Coops, OtherRick and MarcSp
Good community here. I'm about to jump into my second game session. Is there a post/thread to read typical options for game play. I kind of like the hauling cargo, it can be mindless, but reminds me of a game I played long long ago

Hi Bacon!

I don't think I've seen an overview of the professions in CE hanging around, but the quests you'll find in the ferris system can give you a pretty decent feel for some of the professions.

I think there are NPC quests that introduce you to combat, mining, crafting, and extracting. There aren't any such quests that I remember for salvaging, passenger transport... I'm sure there are others, but finding them and exploring the ones that are interesting to you is part of the fun!

Hi Bacon,
There is a section here in the forums - Help Guides & Primers - which is worth browsing, most all careers and
expansions have some posts in here, you may have to search for them as some are fairly old.
There isn't any typical game play walkthrough, basically you pick your goal and work toward that.
Most folk choose one of the expansions (settlements, genesis plot, corporation, PM ship), that will push you into a long
resource acquisition and crafting spree building out your chosen expansion. Some other options are planetary exploration,
or Expanse surveying, or wreck salvaging, if crafting is not to your liking. Some just want to climb up the leaderboards
over on the stats website. Just pick whatever appeals to you.
