another thing that I have to say is that when you pick up mission from "NPC" I sometimes like to copy and paste on note pad to save and read as I go....But you can not copy & paste???
Another I pick up mission at trade office ,and I start off ...but wait where was I going ??? can not find mission on where to go???

You can review NPC missions in the top right drop down menu. The menu header says "view tasks". And if your having difficulty finding something or figuring out what is what, you can always go into chat and ask. There's many people who are always willing to help. It doesn't take very long to figure out how to navigate, if your willing to learn it.

Control C and Control V - Your browser friends since the days of old. We also have an in game note pad that can be used should you wish. Plus your fastest and simplest way to get help when stuck is use the in game chat. Discord is very friendly and easy to use.

Of course these forums will get you a rapid response (generally) from friendly knowledgeable players.

Also please consider that CE is a HUGE browser game probably the largest deepest space base Indy game out there. We have been adding content for over ten years now. Take your time and aks if you get stuck.

Hi ESC01,
First - you are using a standard browser on a PC, right? Not on a mobile (tablet/phone)????? Those have some issues.
Cause CRTL-C and CTRL-V into NotePad work fine (although the formatting gets messed up).

As Sluremewerds said, in the upper right corner, there is a tab (View Tasks), click into that
and select "NPC missions" or "Trade Missions" or whatever task you chose.
Once you know where you need to go, open up the Galaxy Map (bottom task bar, 2nd from the right, looks
like a checkerboard). That shows you the systems and routes.
I assume you know how to navigate around and get into the jump gate network (if not, post and someone can explain).

Hope this gets ya going.

RIght mouse button is disabled, which makes some things harder, lol. But CRTL-C and CTRL-V into NotePad work fine :)

Also, are you working the player guide missions? These are found lower left tab(CE Guides)
This game is indeed complex and can be tough to navigate at first. As suggested, go to chat and hang out, ask questions and it will come to you, like it did all of us.
The other advise, find a guild to join, there are several to choose from. Jeris Outpost in Fieron has a guild office where you can click on and browse the guilds and when you find one you feel will work, apply. The guilds are there to help you as well get you into a team effort. This game is not for solo players, as when you get furher in, you will find the aid of a guild is invaluable.
Good luck and i hope you will give CE more time.
