What do you do once you bind it to a group? I see I can press the fire button and it will start "charging", but once "complete" it doesn't really do anything

I wish they had some indicator for platforms on outposts and smaller stations. I sometimes find myself flying around not seeing it.

I definitely need that for the smaller stations, where they can have landing pads on different sides of it. Spent five minutes trying to find pad 2 earlier today, haha.
I really still don't understand EDtracker. All I ever see is this little tiny device. Like isn't there more to it? Where do you put it?
Took a contract to get rebel data from some dead drops. After some searching around I actually find the damn things, took me a while to figure out how to collect them but in the end I got them. I head back to the station only I'm not able to enter hyperdrive because I don't have enough fuel, so I check out the map and to my astonishment find out how to get to a nearer station to refuel. As I approach said station I get warnings about illegal cargo and what not and get fined almost 5k. Managed to deliver my cargo in the end but that was 5k down the drain.
Lol, what? Your work is cool.
How many stress balls do you need
They're more used as "get the attention of person X" sitting nearby kind of balls, and you can never have too many of those.
FA off is your friend around those stations, lol

Or just lateral thrusters

As far as ships available now goes, personally my end game is the Python. Its a medium sized ship that packs a punch, think of a small anaconda but combat wise its nearly a Viper.

Those god damn internal landing pad spinny stations.
There's me rolling my ass off in headlook trying to find it.
What I'd like to see is a little guidance arrow drawn on your HUD to direct you to the pad. I think that would fit the aesthetic just fine.

There's a little dot in your left side target reticle for the pad. Not super precise as a big arrow pointing to the pad but it gives an idea if its above/sideways/under/behind you

No more orbital lines, so good.
How did you turn them off?
New option in the settings as of 1.03

Right, where are they located?

I've been playing the game since alpha 4 (whichever version the premium beta allowed to start with). And honestly, last night when i pulled my viper in the hangar and decided to look at the galaxy map before closing the game... the fucking galaxy still blows my mind, everytime.

It's a small acceloramter luke the ones in phones or some console controllers. It basically maps "movement" of the thing to an axis so you attach it to headphones or a hat or a tiara. Then movement of your head translates to movement of whatever you bound the axiseses to.
It makes "headlook" the toggle/controller option to something that feels more natural.
It does have to be connected to your PC by USB.
Other types actually use a camera that looks at something on your head so no cables to your noggen but you need a camera facing you.

God damnit, I got the stabilizers, but there's no way I can get back in time. Two freaking jumps away...

Added me. II was wondering if there was a player list lol.
Was on a mission to take out three traders in various systems, managed to kill the first two then jumped out at a USS hoping for the third. Instead it was an Anaconda just sitting there, the first I'd ever encountered. There's me cocky from my previous kills thinking meh, I can handle this. We're facing each other and I start to warrant scan it to make sure I can open fire, in the mean time it opens fire. A single blue plasma ball comes flying towards me. One hit, kaboom, dead. And that was me with 100% shields and hull.
Lesson learned.

Don't die before you turn that bad boy in.
edit: didn't see the bottom half of that pic, it was taking forever to load, congrats!
The plasma accelerator is a serious piece of hardware.
The second screenshot was taken while turning it in. He hit my thrusters pretty bad, but they worked "good" enough.
Yea it's a dynamic animated texture.
Oof, rough learning curve. I've been taking breaks every hour or so to cool off. Oh well, I'm slowly getting used to it. Feels a bit like Dwarf Fortress.
For example, I've been hopping from station to station trying to find newbie-friendly missions so I can upgrade my frameshift drive. Finally found one for transporting fuel. The destination is out of my jump range after I've picked up the fuel, so I have to drop it and take the fine. Bah

Damn, lots a friend requests just sent out, think I did the entire list and some already friends. Hopefully they implement some good stuff later to actually take advantage of that stuff.
Man, I swear every "play session" is just tweaking some new thing!

Both the Viper and Cobra can take Pythons and Anacondas.
The Viper is faster and has more shield, the Cobra is slower/bigger/fatter and has more hull.
Both have the same hardpoints but the Cobra is definitely more of a "combat transporter" while the Viper is just full on "combat ship"

Made a graphic for the "where the heck is my landing pad" issue for new players:
It's a hollow dot if it's behind you, and solid if it's in front of you.
Just realized this when watching a stream. Thanks, regardless!

While I'm usually good at finding my landing pad, its still really good to know I can find it there. I'm sure that'll make it easier for me from now on.Made a graphic for the "where the heck is my landing pad" issue for new players:
I almost did too today. Sadly one of the system security guys decided to get in the way and get hit by one of my rounds. I got the Anaconda to 30% and then I had to get out of there, because they were doing too much damage.
System security can be really annoying. They'll steal your kills and turn on you if you hit them by accident.
I know you can turn off "report crimes against me", but that is just a workaround for what I feel is a real issue. It would be great if they didn't have such a short fuse. Like you need to do a certain percentage of damage to them when you're targeting someone else.
Okay thanks, I was thinking it was another DYI version of TrackIR or something.
I have it, its great.
I focused the power plant under sub-targets. I think the Anaconda exploded at ~40% hull.

To add on this, all atmospheres will change in the game. If you spend enough time around a gas giant, you would see something like this.

CH's HOTAS is great. The throttle in particular is excellent.
