Guides and Tutorials

By popular demand we are starting a tutorial section. Here you can find tutorial videos guiding you through the basics of Hellion’s mechanics. We will cover things like starting scene, zero-g movement, docking, ship piloting, ship docking, navigation and scanning, mining and refining as well as any other frequently discussed mechanics.

In addition we encourage you to visit the Guides page and check some of the community posted guides should you need any more information on various topics.

For all French players:

De plus, nos ajoutons des liens pour les tutoriels en français réalisés par [FR] Calunia. Vous pouvez les trouver au bas de la page.
