Finally straightforward and clear to understand guide to X4, though youtube thinks it is space engineers :D

Small tip for the Spiral-Scouting:
Ctrl + Right click sets "fly and wait" command to the position you selected. No extra right click menu needed.
Also works if you want a fleet to attack multiple enemy ships or stations: Ctrl + Rightclick automatically sets an attack order.

Man i was so confused playing by myself but your tutorials made me realize how much this game as to offer right before i was about to quit. Damn what a game and i feel that i've only started scratching the surface of a deep hole

These tutorials are really cool. You show exactly what people need to know to get started. So many menus are super overwhelming and while you will want to micro stuff you'll want to put a solid 10 hours in at least before messing with advanced settings unless you really know what you're doing.

Very helpful. This game is so detailed. I don't think I would be enjoying it without the tutorials and tips from the community. Many thanks.

There is a command for ships to scout regions. You access that via right-click to the region you want scouted OR clicking on the Jump Gate/Accelerator/Super Highway.
And the BEST Scout is, until you get to the Boron missions, the Paranid Pegasus Vandguard, you get it by the guys in violet on the map by riding the Highway to the 3-o´clock-position.
Once you met the Borons, buy the Irukandji for best Scout. Important detail: Difference between Vanguard and Sentinel is that the Vanguard has more speed while the Sentinel has more storage space and hit points. Though that only gets critical once you get to the finer details of the game.

Once your miners are hard at work, I'd definitely recommend applying this knowledge and getting auto-miners in as many sectors as you can. Each miner will pay for the next, and before you know it you'll be making money faster than you can spend it.

130 hours in and this video still taught me some basic stuff I missed.

Sorry folks, here are the names of the bindings:
Throttle to zero = stop engines
Select stuff = select object
(Thanks to Voltkraken)

Also from the comments (Thanks to coldrogue):
Hold CTRL to place multiple waypoints

I've watched a lot of X4 tutorials, and this is the clearest and best presented on initial mining.

Finally a straight to the point guide! Very well structured and objective, good job

Excellent tutorial. I've got about 40 hours in the game - but probably more than half that time the game was on "pause" while I tried to figure out how to do something, so this sort of tutorial is invaluable - the other thing that I haven't seen is a strategy guide. There are lots of tutorials like this one but nothing that suggests strategy options once you've got the basics down - I realise that this is something of a sandbox game but there must be some strategies that one can use. I don't really want to sit through some guy's play through for hours on end to get a clue.

These tutorials are great. Takes the edge off trying to learn the game. Super fun!

[prodmyxi]

first x4 guide that is easy to follow and actually helpful. Thank you so much

[jgmcfarland]

Great video. Clear concise and easy to understand. Well done! Love the way you simply explain the details.

[klartraum]

I was a little bit lost in the game but watching these first two tutorials of 10 min each I have learned a whole ton about the game. Now I know what to do next time I play again. Thank you!

[shawnp]

Haven't played X4 in several years - this is a great video and would be a good refresher if/when I play again.

[chobbler]

I've been playing this for years on and off, but I learn something everytime I watch one of your vids. You earnt a sub from me.

[tabonuco]

As a newbie, I found this video very useful. Please do a few more for beginners!
