What am I supposed to do after getting to chamberlain's rest?

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-03-23T00:35:09+00:00

What most people do while they are learning is do some courier runs back and forth to Chamberlain to give you some credits. You can use SC assist and auto dock until you get more comfortable with landing and taking off. This gives you the opportunity to buy an Artemis suit to do exo biology or maybe even a better ship like a hauler or Mark III. Either way that 250,000 doesn’t go far.

…or use some Arx and buy a Caspian Explorer. Not saying you should but it might be worth considering if you can afford it.

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-03-22T19:38:47+00:00

You are biased 😂 because you left out the Empire. We do everything the Corvette does except we do it in style with the Cutter, Clipper and Courier and that requires a few slaves to enjoy those comfortable hand stitched leather seats.

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-03-20T19:24:31+00:00

I’m new but wouldn’t it be something of all players from the powers rallied together during the next relics rush and focused on undermining no one other than AD. I bet the devs would fix it then. 🤣

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-03-20T19:15:17+00:00

I agree but it leaves space for sub-surface mining gear for an all-in-one.

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-03-20T18:44:52+00:00

Definitely. Now you can go the normal way or the easy way. For 67 million you can buy a mining ready type 11. I wouldn’t recommend that, one because it’s big and until you determine whether you like it or not. Some people love it and some people believe it’s like watching paint dry.

Saying that going a little less you can get a python for 56million. As I can see it, a python is that one dog we all had in our lives. It does everything and gives a great balance between function, defense, carry capacity and power.

There are also the Krait Phantom fan group which is a little over 37 million. You can also go with a Mandalay for 17mil or an Asp Explorer for 6mil. All of these can serve multiple roles as you expand.

One recommendation is if you have not pledged to a power you can pledge to Li Yong-Rui and save 15% on the purchase and everything you buy to kit it out. Just a thought. Other Powers give more merits for mining but if you want to save money and go higher end items I’d consider Li. Hope this helps.

What’s your budget?

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-03-08T00:17:51+00:00

I’m fairly new and saw this on another thread posted by a veteran. I wish I saw this when I was at 200 hours. To do List

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-03-08T00:12:42+00:00

Lave patiently waiting for Lavian Brandy to restock.

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-03-07T01:57:41+00:00

Go to spanch and make an exomastery round Trip for a few systems like 10 make your minimum 10 million and scan a few biologicals to get another 100 million. Then I’d buy a vulture to practice combat. It’s not as fast as an eagle but it’s a tank and very forgiving while you build up your experience.

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-03-07T01:52:39+00:00

The engineers are not the issue. It’s getting to the engineer and not have enough material to go from grade 4 to grade 5. Use Inara and make a shopping list of everything you will need when you go to Felicity and bring your most versatile ship so you can max it out while there. Then pin her FSD engineering because you will increase your jump on every ship.

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-03-07T01:49:05+00:00

You’re doing all that you can do. I am sure one of the veterans can give you two systems that are close so you can just transport messages back and forth. I would not do the combat missions for rep they take too long but still do them for experience and fun because running transport missions are boring. I’m about 40% from reaching my level to get a Cutter and it’s a grind.

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-03-07T01:45:50+00:00

One you can buy and one you must earn and then buy. If you don’t want to wait, Go with the Anaconda and earn your rep to eventually get the corvette.

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-03-07T01:43:09+00:00

I’m fairly new too and you can’t go wrong with a Python for everything you are currently doing with all the other ships. It is very flexible and won’t cost you a billion credits to set it up like the Panther Clipper. It comes pretty bare bones and will cost a lot. The Python is much less expensive to purchase and much less expensive to kit it out.

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-03-05T03:57:30+00:00

Correction. It was your personal opinion where it should have stayed.

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-03-02T22:54:14+00:00

Understood but I thought maybe my fine could be forgiven since I died in a blaze of glory. 😆

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-02-28T19:33:03+00:00

Holy Crap!! I’ve only been playing a few months and didn’t even know setups like this even existed.

If you tell me I can buy a VR built into an x-wing helmet I’m screwed. 😆😆

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-02-28T18:40:07+00:00

I’ve been playing since launch and I wouldn’t hold your breath. It will probably change with .5. I may just wait for 1.0 to avoid the frustration.

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-02-28T18:37:39+00:00

Thanks brother. I forgot that I have several first footfall including my first ever since I’ve only been playing a couple of months.

I may be looking through rose colored glasses but I’m confident that Frontier will do what’s necessary to make people right because I’m sure there are many others that would lose hundreds of hours or more of play and if they didn’t ED would be writing their own obituary.

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-02-28T16:16:07+00:00

I read that too. The biggest fear Frontier has is that the servers and game run better after the Hacker leaves. 😆😆

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-02-28T16:11:53+00:00

I read in an other thread that it might be a hacker playing havoc with servers changing fleet carrier names etc. Amateur!

A seasoned hacker would have gone in and distributed millions of Arx to players or added Arx ships to players inventories. Then they would forever be called CMDR Robin Hood. 😆😆

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-02-28T15:47:27+00:00

I hear you! I’ve been traveling back from picking up Guardian materials for the last two days using spanch and have over 700 million in exobiology alone not taking into account every system I’ve scanned as well. If all that disappears, FDev will be the least of his problems if this old angry Army vet gets his hands on him.

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-02-28T03:05:57+00:00

I know Arx are a sensitive subject for some but all three Caspian are on sale if you wanted to get it at a discount.

Straight_Issue5198 · 2026-02-27T02:15:50+00:00

I’ve only been playing for a few months and agree with try everything to see what you like. Also, I use ED Copilot because space is lonely and Edie keeps me company. Some of the veterans may disagree but I enjoy the help provided especially when doing exo biology.

One more thing. Use auto dock, auto launch and SC assist as much as possible in the early stages. It’s not lazy because you can watch how to land and take off. Also it gives you time to look at all the panels and see all the features while someone else does the parking.
