Military Service?

Hey folks!
Totally new player here... just thought I'd get that out.
I went fallowing the arvoch beacons not knowing there were two different beacon quests. Long story short I figured everything out to a wormhole that quite literally dropped me off in the middle of nowhere. Found that beacon (pointing to sirius), but no way home!
I just poked around online and found out I switched quests somewhere in ruckers... Now I seem to be bloody stuck lightyears from anything with only a fulcrum drive to keep me company. Any ideas? Or is my character doomed? :-)
Thanks!

Hi.
Easy, we can save you, don't worry.
I suggest you open your quadrant map and type nearest main system's coord in your nav computer. Use your autopilot to go there...

If you give us your coord, we can know your exact location...

Let us know when you are online, we can help you instantly...

Good flying...

I think there is another wormhole to the north but I'm not sure, or there is another system close by that you can reach with fulcrum drive.....your defenitely not doomed yet.....

:P:P:P:P

Oh and btw, Welcome to the game and forum. Hope to see you out there some time....

OK, I'm already loving the atmosphere here! Thanks you guys!

I'm online (obviously) but I'm away from home on a different computer.

And I have to go. Later!

Yay! I figured it out! I didn't know the autopilot could do that! Thanks for the hint!

A Fulcrum class 5 will get you anywhere you want to go ... with enough gas, that is.

OK, New question... how do I join a Navy? Get Military ships? The works. :-)

Thanks!

Head into one of the warzones. Any mission you complete in one of those contributes to your military rank. Once you reach certain ranks, you can buy the various military ship frames from carriers.

Military ships can't carry cargo (or crew), so get rid of any excess freight before switching to a military frame.

There are 3 Warzones, one in Cerulean, one in Talison and one in Siera and just do what Blackthorne said in any of those warzones....good luck....

:P
