Recently, we had a cpuple of individuals that got Elite. Many of you will think the game is hard and too complex but it'll all get better once you uprade your ship and understand the controls and gameset. I suggest you trade first instead of bounty hunting. There you can learn to fly while getting paid for it and improving your reputation in multiple systems. Once you have the money, try to buy a viper or cobra (you could buy an Eagle but whatever)

In the meantime, try to improve in the game. Fly safe commanders!
