Where to start?
I'm a fan since XbtF, played every game except Rebirth. One could think after so many hours I should know how an X game is meant to be played. BUT: I just bought X4 today, played the first 3-4 hours and literally don't know what to do in this game?!
In previous X games I usually started with...
- trading inexpensive stuff. Energy cells or so, but I can't find fabrics? And even if - how do I buy cargo?
- doing side missions, but how do I find them? By coincidence I got a mission (don't know how I did) to recover cargo, but flying through it destroyed it.
- doing main missions (campaign), but when starting the game, there's NOTHING?
I did the first tutorials but did not find them helpful.
What am I doing wrong? Are you experiencing the same? What's the best way to start X4?

I'm on the same boat. I played X1 and X3, but i'm struggling to find missions here. I'm exploring sectors but i get almost nothing. For example there are some missions like deliver a 4/2 marine but i didn't see any such marine being sold on stations, or do some trade runs, but i have no idea where to buy that specific product from, and i probably wouldn;t have the cash.
I had some missions in a previous save game where it was easier like transport some guy from one station to another, i made some cash, but i started a new game, no such luck now.
