Made a new commander completely ruined my game
So I decided I wanted to start over today with a fresh new commander, And oh boy was that a mistake. First of all I am forced to do pre flight checks every time I leave a station now, Even iff i have it turned to Off. I aslo am forced to auto launch everytime I try to leave a stastion and I get a constant error message saying ''Slow down to auto dock'' every time I try to dock on a stastion, But as if that wasn't bad enough. My side panels are now suddenly unresponsive, I can view them when i turn to either side like usuall, but I cannot navigate them. I couldn't even press the escape button to exit the game. So i was forced to do a Ctrl alt delete, and kill it in the task manager. which gave my machine spasms and flickers all over the screen. I try to relog into the game but the same thing keeps happening. What the hell is going on? I am unable to play the game untill this gets fixed

If you had read the update notes for the latest game update, this is all part of the quality of life improvements for new players.

All new commander characters start (and stay) in the noob zone until they have got their first rank in combat, trade or exploration. once you get the first rank, you are offered a mission to a system outside the noob zone, once you take that mission and jump to your destination you are locked out of the noob zone forever.

This has been brought in to try and combat the brain-dead seal clubbers who hang around the old starter systems and used engineered battleconda's to beat on newbie's in sideys.

P.S. Your control issues could be down to your key bindings defaulting as per normal after any update.

I see, I see... Thank you for responding so quickly. But the controlls worked at first. it was only when I left to participate in the first combat mission you recieve now. That the controlls suddenly started acting out, I cant even click escape to get to the menu where the keybindings are.

i have no idea about your controls issue then. Might be an idea to double check all your key bindings in the main menu screen before hitting continue

Keyboard loves to get locked out by chat… you'd need to open the chat tab and press enter, but don't ask me how to do that with KB&M only.

(Keybinds don't reset from updates… there are some reasons why that happens, but updates are rarely the cause.)

So why, before EVERY update, are people told to back up their key bindings in a separate folder.

Can only confirm, some updates reset key binds, you learn this the hard way the 1st time ! :D

It's the new modules. Sell both the advanced docking computer and the supercruise asssist in your optional modules slots. They're like an auto-pilot for helping new CMDRs.

I started completely over deleting my sons save and it did present the option of where to start as an experienced new commander or in the new zone. I think you can choose to use the new zone or not.

You guys must be hardcore to want to start over. I've been playing causally for years and couldn't imagine having to grind my way back to where I am.

I have 2 accounts, my son plays one and he's just messing around now. That's the one we reset. You're right I would not reset my account with billions and multiple ships and engineering now.

TO be fair, they've improved some of the grinding in some aspects. Money is easier to come by for one.

Grinding ranks however is not easier. It's harder.

actually, your experience with the game probably means that you would be back to where you are now in a third of the time.

i play casually (i get about 6 hours per week split between several games) my first play through it took me about 9 hours to buy my first Cobra Mk III. my second commander it took me about 3 hours.
