Lol, hyperspace with a broken window, i cant even drive to Halfords with my chip in the windscreen
He gave it a good review, normally he rips into games for their issues. He clearly likes ED.
Not having a lot of luck with that Conda are you?
Personally, I think they need to ban women pilots....
Nice, I almost lost mine again last night..
Still loving it to bits though, with A-rated thrusters it's seriously fast, One problem you'll find is that when you start kitting it out with large hardpoint weapons, you'll find you need the A7 power distributor, which is around 10M... then a reactor.. etc..etc
it is a great ship though,

IT'S A PYTHON.

Oops! Not paying attention.... I'm still happily zooming around in my Asp, only get to play for a few hours each week, so will be a while before I can make that jump...
Hoping some new ships will arrive that allow a step in between.
Patch 1.06 incoming 11:00 am UK time
update 1.06 is incoming at 11am GMT. Everyone will be taken off the servers at this time while the update is applied. We should be live again within 30 minutes, so 11.30am GMT. Here's the client and server change log:
Client Changes
- Make sure that station doors do not kill players in stations
- Stability fix for memory allocation on textures
- Prevent recycling of the mission list so the same mission cannot be taken over and over again
- Fix for matchmaking in private groups
- Add more telemetry to continue investigation on why some resourses don't load on some machines
- Add more telemetry for player collisions
- Some mission text fixes
Server Changes
- Memory optimisations for scenario handling
- Improvements to space station news generated from background simulation events
- No longer treat commodities as prohibited in the system map or on trade route data for space stations that have temporarily declared them legal
- Fix a bug that sometimes prevented a starsystem's government type and major faction allegiance changing
- System change queues no longer stall

The Eforums seem rather bitter.
Wish they were more positive.
I've just popped what I hope is a positive post on there. It may well get shot down in flames
Yeah, I only joined the official forum in order to get a question answered. I think you guys, or Eurogamer, answered it for me anyway!
There is some good stuff on there, but most of it can usually be found directly on YouTube anyway.

You wont want to trade at the start, you will barely make anything.
My advice is to do some missions from the Bulletin board - the delivery missions are nice and easy to get you started. Then get yourself into a Hauler if you want to trade and move on from there. You can also make decent money bounty hunting, but you may want to hone your skills a bit first.
Enjoy!
I also think that mining is a good early-game strategy, picturesque and gets you good at flying quicker than trading.. search for Pristine reserves, go for platinum/palladium/gold and go from there
I do think mining need buffing though, but it is a nice way of making money
