Fuck me that shit eats through your srv pretty damn quick.
Next time I'll park closer. 
Forgot to scan the crash site
I was running the mission for 4 tons with no cr racks, with 2 amfu patching up the damage as it was melting the conda. Which was a fuck on, as if the corrosion hit the cargo hatch in super cruise, all cargo dropped. Getting interdicted was a giggle too. Juggling fixing the internals as you melted, and battling off a pirate.

Is there a good point to switch to multiplayer from solo? I'd like to be out there with everyone else but the bellend factor seems quite high.....

Try joining Mobius. Once you are accepted then 'Mobius PvE Eurasia' appears as a private group which you can log in to in the game. It has over 40k members but no-one will ever try to grief you.

- make sure you have enough money to rebuy if you got blown to bits.
- jump in to open.
- be sure you know when to run - rather than stand and fight.

I know when to run - always
seriously though, open isn't that bad - so long as you stay away from the hotspots - community goals, obsidian orbital, burning stations etc.I know when to run - always
If you come across another CMDR in open, keep an eye on the scanner. The hollow square symbol changes to a triangle if they get guns out.
I always speak to people I meet in open, the vast majority of people aren't interested in blowing you up.

It's canny mind this Obsidian orbital lark. Made around 150m credits in two evenings.
Cheers for the guidance Jim.
Now which fed ship to upgrade first....

I'm just running data missions at the minute. Is there anything I should be looking to get into? Also what's the next logical upgrade from the Cobra for general purposes?
Data missions are a really good way of getting rep with factions if you've only got a small ship, once you've got a bit of cash I'd go for a Python, that's my day-to-day ship - I've got an AspX, Fed Gunship and an Imperial Cutter in the garage as well

I agree with SBH. The Python is perfect as a multi-role ship with the added benefit that it is classed as Medium so you can dock at outposts.
As far as mission types go, once you are allied with local factions the best paying ones are planetary scan jobs. Just be aware that if you have to kill skimmers you will be wanted in that system for ten minutes. If you take two missions in the same system and kill two lots of skimmers you will get a week-long bounty on your head.

The next logical upgrade would be to a python, it's the same ship with bigger everything.
I'm running one as a pure trader at the minute

No shields just 280T of trading goodness. Being able to land on medium pads means better trade routes.
There's no reason to change from multi-role ships, it will save a big chunk of money.
My hanger is like a scouser's lockup, two ships on bricks with the parts stripped out to fund my latest project while my python is trading away to make up the money I've lost buying random ships.
If the gap between the Cobra and Python is too wide, Asp Explorers are a lot of fun and you can trade rares/explore/bounty hunt your way to a Python.

Aye I was looking at fitting for planetary scans. Is it worth upgrading the stellar object scanner as that's quite expensive.
I'll try an Asp Explorer then build to a Python. Cheers all

Sensible choice the python is 50m to buy, that'll take a lot of data missions.Aye I was looking at fitting for planetary scans. Is it worth upgrading the stellar object scanner as that's quite expensive.

I'll branch out when I'm more comfortable with combat and the ingame politics

I meant planetary scans as in going down to a building or an outpost and using an SRV to scan data points.Aye I was looking at fitting for planetary scans. Is it worth upgrading the stellar object scanner as that's quite expensive.

The first three modules I always bought for a new ship were Docking Computer, Fuel Scoop and Advanced Discovery Scanner.Aye I was looking at fitting for planetary scans. Is it worth upgrading the stellar object scanner as that's quite expensive.

Asp is the dogs bollocks like. It’s the one ship I’ve kept all the way through
I keep a stripped out Asp with minimal shields, D rated everything (lightest) no weapons, and a G5 engineered FSD. Its my galaxy taxi, jumps over 50Ly. Gets me where I need to be, then pay the cost of transferring other ships as needs be.
Will probably engineer other mods for weight to squeeze more LY out of it. Its what I've made most of my exploration cash out of, and did the 5k Palin trip in.
