 ELITE: DANGEROUS
Buying the game: - Use USD or EUR currency to get it cheaper (difference of up to $12 saving on the BETA version alone)
- the Frontier Forums - Link HERE
- A complete guide on the game from A-Z. Link: HERE
In browser tips:
- You should change your name as it assigns you a generic name. eg: "Backer #446742". To change commander (player) name you need to login via this link : HERE. Then on the top bar click Commander Profile. Once your in the Commander Profile area you'll see Request a New Name: with a long text box next to it. Type a new name in the box then click on the Orange rectangular box that says "REQUEST NAME CHANGE".
- The Elite Dangerous Wiki here: LINK
In Game tips:
- Trade Route Calculator: Link: HERE
- Make sure you retract Landing gear and cargo scoop before moving off into outer space for a jump

This is my Saitek X52 Pro control Set-up.
This set-up will work for the Generic Joystick also.
PAUSE as needed.

Allies can slave their FSD to guarantee that they enter super-cruise in formation at the same time and in the same session
When slaving the FSD, all vessels use the capabilities of the weakest drive
The vessel that others slave to has flight control during super-cruise, though
slaved ships may break off at any point (and re-slave if they are within a set distance)
As with all matchmaking, there is no guarantee of being successfully matched with a particular session beyond slaving FSDs

HS (hyper space - jump drive) and SC (super cruise) are still combined in ONE key
I still keep seeing many post that HS and SC have been separated in to 2 keys like in the old days(alpha)
1) firstly , yes, your HS/SC bindings are lost, you have to REDO them
2) There is just ONE key for binding HS/SC, it works EXACTLY as before today's wipe
3) for those of us that want separate HS and SC keys, we have that option too !!!

For those who need to find routes to systems...here is a tool one Elite fan made to make it simple. its very basic (going off comments and screen shots) but works well (also according to user feedback) maybe interesting to help us find each other across the galaxies (may look at this when i get home) from the creator - CMDR w0nk0

[posted by CMDR GregRedd] here is a link to an awesome HUD editor. you adjust the sliders to get the HUD colour you want and it shows you the code to input into your graphic configs. Link HEREit uses the below base image to adjust  This completely unofficial and unsupported editor was made by Kimmo Kulovesi (aka Arkku). Provided as is with absolutely no warranty, mod the game at your own risk only! The author can be contacted on the Elite: Dangerous forums, e.g., in this thread. |

Dissatisfied with waiting for the Galaxy Map to calculate longer routes for you? There's an app for that!  Elite:Copilot will find routes within 1-2 seconds even if you travel 200+ LY. It will guide you to your destination using spoken instructions, and you can tell it to route you around locked systems. It will also dynamically find new routes in case you're taking a detour. linkOriginally posted by w0nk0 |

this technique does not require the wake scanner apparently maybe we can check it out tonight or so.

map made by Jackruss: Landing pad locations  This image is the uncluttered Landing pad layout. 3 Blast Doors Pink allows Anaconda probably Type 9 2 Blast Doors Blue allows Type 6 1 Blast Door Green allows all smaller ships. The colours seem to help identify the given slot before you enter saving time in no mans land. it also helps you see the pattern of the different type pads. Took me too long to get this far maybe a graphics man could tidy it up. For the colour blind 3 Blast doors are left to right 33,09, 02,24,17,39 back row 10, 25, 40 2 blast doors are 11, 05, 26, 20, 41,35. middle row 07, 22, 37 back row 32, 08, 03,23,18,38.

Tip for new players if your interdicted: pull your throttle back to zero to let yourself be interdicted once you drop out, full throttle and jump to supercruse you'll see see the FSD meter on the right under the fuel clear in about 2-3 seconds then try to jump to supercruse and you'll be gone most of the time it takes less that 6 seconds and the interdictor is left wondering what just happened.
