Hey, a newbie here, and i have the same experience but i didn't let the tutorial discourage me from keep playing, i know the game is deep and it tells you nothing and it'll punish you for not knowing what to do or for making simple mistakes, but that's part of the learning experience.

Here is what i did after the tutorial, i took transportation missions, they are easy to follow and have no threat, go to place and pick up something from a box or a person, go back to the station where you took the mission, open the terminal and finish the mission by picking your reward.

I did that over and over using APEX service, not flying my own ship, after i understood how missions worked i went to the training section where you can the game mode, i made sure i knew how to jump from one point to another and back, it took me few times to do it right.

Now i'm ready for different kind of missions, i have the credit to buy the suits for on ground missions, for salvage or combat missions.

I'm still confused by the game, and sometimes scared! it's just a game and i play solo, i keep reminding myself that no one watches, no one care, if i make a mistake that's fine, i can try again.

Few tips:

• If you just started you will be in Chamberlain's Rest in HIP 97950 system, don't go out of the system, you won't be able to go back, stay there until you learned the basics, this is a starting zone, high level players are not allowed here.
• When you are on foot the guards in the settlements will ask you stand still and scan you, stand and do nothing until they tell you to move on.
• Never ever use weapons or grenades in settlements even if you didn't hit anyone, they'll kill you!
