Stupid question from a newbie.

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before, but I can't find it anywhere on these forums.

I've downloaded WCU, and it starts fine. But after the intro loading screen, I start in a Tarsus in mid space. A few messages from Spirit plumber come up on my screen about how to play the game.

But have I missed something? I seem to have 5,000,000 credits. I haven't even entered my callsign yet? I'm sure this isn't a new game, but continuing a saved one or something. Help!

When I click the 'Play Saved Pilot' box and then 'Start New Game' exactly the same thing happens. So to cut a long story short, HOW DO I START A NEW GAME?! Thanks.

What did you download?
Multiplayer? CVS?

Unless it's multiplayer, where you probably do so in the server page, you're never asked for a callsign and start at a mining base usually, but not entirely improbable that you could start in open space. But, if that open space is devoid of any landing place (base or planet), then it's probably an installation error. If so, I'd say you should try to re-download and/or re-install.

Thank you it's working now :)

Klauss since you're practically the only member who posts here frequently any more, could you tell me where I may find a list of ships that are flyable or buyable in the current WCU?

ATM I can only find a few Merchants, Hunters, and Insys ships for sale. I have found Kilrathi ships for sale (in Kilrathi bases)

I can't find confed ships to buy anywhere! Any idea where I can look? I want a Rapier or Thunderbolt!

You have to do some plot missions first :)
