New player.

After seeing the small sale on steam, I picked the game up at the weekend, on saturday morning. 
I then proceeded to mess about, building lots of random stuff and just trying to learn some stuff and following the guided plan a bit. 
Basics are sort of in place now, and looking to try a proper work through over the coming week ahead. 
I seem to have got a vague feel for mining, but cannot work out how you get crew to go to the derelict ship. Is that something that pops up later? 
Crew interface seems to be my biggest hardship atm, there is a lot going on there to work out. 
Supplys are my other issue... Trying to work out what i have, and how i can get more is not jumping out at me just yet. 
Enjoying myself so far, and looking forward to actually working out a working starter ship to explore a little more.
