Little guidance for a newb...
Well, I downloaded last night, gave it a whirl, and liked the community and gameplay. So here I am, subbed up and ready to roll.
I have experience in other online flight-sim games as well as MMO's. Air Warrior 1-3, Earth and Beyond, SWG (I beta tested everything they came out with including JTL. I had 6 toons all multiple aces and all 9 ace's on my main), WoW, EvE, all the usual suspects. I started out on space sims the same way as most. From XWing through Wing Commander.
So I have the basics down for sure. Now I find myself working through the tutorials in UIT J-11. Finished up through Basic Training Test as well as the first Mining tutorial.
My goal is to concentrate on mining to begin with and eventually branch out into intercepters and some good fun PvP.
I've read through the FAQ's here and have done some Googling. Do you have any links to a good "How to get rolling in mining/Vendetta" guides? I'm still learning which buttons to mash to execute this or that but I just want to be sure I'm on the straight and narrow to get a good start here.
Nice to be a part of a pilot community again and hope to enjoy many hours in the not so friendly skies with you all.

Sweet, thanks. I think I found some other good ones too.

Looks like the next few sessions will be prospecting/mining tutorials and missions.

You should totally let us all know where you're doing your mining, so we can come and... uh, help you out. And stuff.
Hush, Chaos.
Wiseguy: While the ratelis.com guide is a good source for information... it is also heavily outdated. The wiki page is more up to date, and you can also ask questions ingame; there are plenty of people who will help you.
Just be wary of those who ask for your location, and refrain from doing so on public comms. ;)

Hi Wiseguy, you might also be interested in the TargetLess plugin to help with your prospecting, it lets you save ore locations and target the same rock from nearly 5km out next time your in the sector =)

^ shameless plug :P
Hehehehe come in a comparable vessel and I'd be more than happy to try out some duels with ya Chaos! :)
That would be of course with gov issued blaster/reactor.
When I get home I'll get a hold of that mod, thanks for the tip!
Yeah, been checking out the wiki all morning. Trying to plan my rise to universal domination as we speak! :)
So far the community has been a great group of folks and very helpful indeed. I figure that's why after only a few hours of play I full subbed. Anyways, plan on seeing a lot more of me! Thanks for the warm welcome!

Yeah, if you ever see me online you should type /buddy...
...heh, sorry, Welcome to VO.

Duels? No, no, no! I'm willing to assist! I am very interested in mining ore!
Of course, I'm more interested in mining it from someone's cargo hold than from an asteroid.
Shame on you for assuming I would ever suggest violence!

PC means violence by you, at least beyond your exploding violently. He's fine with using violence himself to crack open your worthless hull and get at the sweet, sweet ores within.
As am I.

We need THAT command.

Things Rick Astley would never do:
- give you up
- let you down
- run around and desert you
- make you cry
- say goodbye
- tell a lie and hurt you.
