A recent community discussion reveals that new players in Elite Dangerous encounter mostly illegal ground missions, complicating early gameplay. While some legal options exist, such as settlement raids on pirates, these can be too challenging for beginners. Delivery missions are legal but come with unclear trade-offs, and retrieval missions are reportedly illegal per in-game help. This situation restricts mission variety and lawful engagement for new commanders on foot, potentially impacting their initial experience in the game’s evolving ground content.
- Settlement raids on pirates are legal but difficult for new players.
- Delivery missions are legal but have unclear consequences.
