	Elite Dangerous has a steep learning curve with complex controls and minimal in-game guidance.

	You begin as a poor [[pilot]] with a loaned [[Sidewinder]] from a secret benefactor in the 34th century. In the [[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey\|ED: Odyssey]] expansion you begin an [[On Foot\|on foot]] tutorial that teaches basic mechanics like walking, interacting with terminals, using [[:Category:Handheld Tools\|tools]] and [[Handheld Weapon\|handheld weapons]]. All independent pilots are licensed members of the [[Pilots Federation]]. Every pilot has the title "[[commander]]". [[Ranks]] are earned by completing activities ~~and~~ to unlock perks in the auxiliaries of the [[Federation/Ranks\|Federal]] and [[Empire/Ranks\|Imperial Navy]]. All newbies start in the [[Pilots' Federation District]]. This protected zone has basic [[Mission Board\|missions]] and [[outfitting]]. Once you've earned your [[Ranks\|first rank]] in ~~Combat~~, ~~Trade~~ or ~~Exploration~~ you are guided outside the district and the [[Permits\|permit]] is revoked. Thence you must choose a path and make a living in the galaxy. What you want to do determines where you want to go.

	The controls require learning dozens of key-bindings for thrusters, shields, landing gear and power distribution. You can customize the controls (mouse + keyboard, joystick/HOTAS or gamepad). By playing you will learn the basics like flight routines and gain muscle memory. Communication is primarily via the in-game [[Communications\|Communications Panel]], which splits messages into several specific chat channels. You can also use voice chat and [[emotes]].

			== Ships for ARX ==
			Buying ships or [[livery]] with the in-game currency [[ARX]] (real money) is completely optional. It supports the development of ED for new content, features and updates.

			=== Early access ===
			You can buy early access to newly released [[ships]], [[Ship-Launched Vessels\|vessels]] and [[vehicles]] for [[ARX]] in the ED Gamestore. After around 3-4 months it will be available for standard in-game credits.

			=== Pre-Built Ships ===
			[[Pre-Built Ships]] are ready-to-use and specialized for a role with pre-equipped modules, paint jobs, and ship kits. If the ship gets destroyed, the base pre-built ship can be redeployed at zero [[Credits\|credit]] cost. This allows you to skip the grind to manually [[Outfitting\|outfit]] it from scratch with in-game [[credits]]. Some jump-start ships have pre-installed [[Engineers\|engineered]] modules. The pre-built modules cannot be sold, stored or transferred to other ships. The bundles have Standard, Stellar, and Galactic tiers. These premium ships can be purchased with [[ARX]].

			Pre-built ships are convenient for new players, to switch [[careers]] or a second account. However, they're not necessarily pay-to-win (P2W), because it requires general knowledge and piloting skills to use properly.

			=== CMDR Starter Pack ===
			CMDR Starter Pack is a bundle intended to help new commanders get started faster. It has lots of content like: ship, A-rated spec, ship kit, paintjobs, decals (emblems and logos), ship weapon detailing, [[COVAS]], [[Suits\|suit]] and [[Handheld Weapon\|handheld weapon]] [[Livery\|cosmetics]]. The ship can also be deployed at any [[shipyard]]. The starter pack can be purchased with [[ARX]].
