Ah, so not just me then... Coolio.
Yeah, I've assigned both stick X axis and my Yaw axis on the throttle, finding the latter just habitually kicks in.

Beta 3 Bugs
Transaction server error
Commander data not loading
Planet textures turning into 2 planets and then no where to go with my little ship, very strange.

Quite a few bugs in the Beta but being Beta, I expect them and hopefully won't take too long to iron out. I have gone back to the main game now, purely to get me some more money as I want to buy both the Cutter and Corvette and still keep my Conda. The Cutter is a real whale to turn but it just sounds so good and looks fantastic, albeit it is only me looking at it

Gregster - what's your favoured money method. I'm tending to farm RES bounties as being allied to Zaccary I get the nice bonus.
TRading is just soo dull by comparison.

Yer I do that. I am also with Zach and hit the merits to get rank 5 and then hit the high Intensity res sites. I can get 50 mil a day or 6-8 hours gaming time on a good run (that is 25 mil in credits doubled up when I cash them in). I am trading at the mo though, purely because I hit the combat so hard, I am a bit sick of it for now and I made Elite, so not much interest really.

I'm Zach as well as hitting HI Res sites, yet I'm not raking it in like you guys, where am I ging wrong?

This game is infuriating! How the hell are you supposed to raise your combat ranking when there's nothing to shoot at? I've been taking missions where you have to hunt down and destroy a set number of pirates in a given system or destroy one named pirate and not once have I found any pirates before the mission's time limit runs out.
I SC around dropping out at any and all unidentified signal sources I come across and to date I have only come across floating debris and some useless cargo containers. Where the hell are these people I need to kill hiding? I tell a lie, I dropped out at one signal source only to be one-shotted by something that I didn't even get a chance to see, let alone run away.
As for other 'human' players, I haven't seen a single one yet.

The pirate hunting missions have changed a bit since the beginning, from my experience they are now mainly (maybe exclusively?) interdict missions. You'll need to identify which are pirates based on wanted status and faction while in SC.
Also try the nav beacon near the star, there are generally loads of npc ships popping in and out there, some of which are pirates. Whether or not the mission ones saw there or not... I'm not sure. I recall getting credit for mission kills that way in the past but it was a while ago, and my memory is shot.
Nah, still get plenty of pirates in USS, you wont get many if any at all in weak ones though, also, if you need to hunt USS because the Nav beacon is useless or there are no RES in a system remember to throttle back and look for them, that way they will spawn and be immediately in range for dropping into 
I seem to have sorted out my fps issues with Horizons now, just needed to tweak a few settings and everything seems to be good now, certainly good enough for me at any rate, been messing around and this is probably my best screenie so far I reckon

Also when looking for pirates carry a couple of tons of cargo as that will encourage then to identify themselves.
Take out X amount of pirates = RES / Nav Beacon -- if neither of those are in the system then USS.
Take out Specific pirate = interdicting from supercruise (usually)
That's how I work it anyway, but mostly I don't bother with missions anymore - measly payouts :/
