Elite is one of the most complicated games I've ever played.

This game looks really cool, but appears to be a steep learning curve. I don't get longer than an hour or so on a rare night to play something, so can't really get into this. Maybe when my kids go to college in 15 years. 😉

It can't possibly be more complicated. I'm not talking about simulator complicated. I'm talking about what are these powers I can join? which should I join? What are the benefits? Why is everyone shooting at me? Why am I wanted? How do I clear my wanted status? I can't find my mission goal? How do I make enough money? The f-ing map says the commodity I'm looking for is on this planet but I can't find it? And on and on and on...

I tried trading but got incredibly frustrated with it. I don't know if they fixed trading recently. The problem was that the map would indicate something was flowing out of a planet and nothing was flowing in. A source, right? I go there and nothing.
...
I tried mining but finding the valuable mining materials also involved using websites. Moreover, the payout just wasn't balanced properly so that it made sense to do. Why can't they balance things so that the same time spent mining, trading or bounty hunting led to the same profit. As it is, only bounty hunting makes any sense.

Thanks, my questions were rhetorical. I know the basics. I have 15 Mil, a fully loaded Vulture and some other minor ships.

I go online and I'm told to use various websites that keep track of commodity locations. Really? I have to get out of the game and go to a website?
Sorry, I get frustrated when I think back to those experiences.

Then there is the confusing horror of USS and Points of Interests.
I love this game and I also really hate it.
