Beginners Info thread

Reading the read-me that comes with the mod and reading the Serverrules/Systemrules section of the forum should be plenty of info to start with. I know I never got help with getting started and don't think you need a lot more than the readme and knowing the clansystems. You'll get familiar with the community soon enough.

Not only as Gust says but also you can ask people in-game most are quite willing to help out, but as with all games you have to play it and explore (and there's a fair bit of exploring to be done...) A good piece of advice is to scribble a few notes here and there, remeber the trading system on CF is dynamic so if you find somewhere that's making you a good profit one time doesn't mean its going to be there next time you log on, most if not all will give you pointers on where to get ships/equipment but try not to ask too much it takes the fun out of exploring!

I agree with this idea,

as i start playing CF in Singleplayer, i had no informations what to do. A normal Player install this mod and start playing.

The first Information I needed was that i can sell escape pods in Prisons - to make money. This is only an example (like the dynamic trading system in mp too).

In Multiplayer it was not easy to understand the roleplay for me - some basic informations not distributet in many threads would be a good idea too (I know the Database ). Give an information about the events to "new" but experienced players direktly in the game like an event manager did it last week via the console - and they will take part of it soon. If you have all this in one thread (maybe with links to the explaining threads) beginners don´t need to ask much (I can remember a thread where the server police complain of always beeing ask by beginners even to their player char too)

If you have the basic informations before you get started the game will be much more easy for beginners.
