Hi,

Just started playing.
Is there any sort of training simulator available? It would be good to be able to try out all of the ships with different configurations and armament in an area where you do not need to level up. Also be able to get killed anytime without worrying about any impact in the "real" game.

thanks

No, there isn't. Death is pretty trivial though. Don't worry if you lose a ship or two. It's not like EVE where you can lose 6 months of work in 10 seconds.

Thanks. I was more interested in trying out more advanced ships and weapons to see how they perform. Perhaps load them up with mass and see how they manuver or try to dock a heavily loaded ship. It would also be good to have bots to kill in the sim to try to kill for practice with the various ships to see the performance.
Perhaps I am too new to the game and need to play around a bit more but it would still be cool to try out the higher level ships and try out different configurations.

thanks again.

You'll have to earn the cash, licenses, and reputation to be able to buy a top-end ship. Sorry.

Was hoping that there would be a jumpgate type of training sim where you could blow yourself up with no impact to your ranking status or credits that is separate from the real game.

Will take your advice and work and kill myself many times to get to the top stuff :-)

Thanks!!

We have a bit of an offline training sim in the mobile version, but it has no access to higher-end equipment. We might add something like that down the road, but really, the best way to learn the game is "by doing" anyway. There's no real penalty for death or failure, and you learn a lot more in the context of actual gameplay (especially if you can get another veteran player to help you and give advice).
