Hello, I am completely new to this game. I have barely played a couple of hours with previous versions X2/X3 etc.
I am determined to give it a proper shot this time..
Anyway, so far I have encountered a couple of bug which have caused me to restart my progress from scratch.
Bug1 - Doing the flight school.
When you get to the point where it enables missiles, if you miss every shot (which I did) you will have no more missiles to shoot.
Killing the enemy with missiles seems to be the trigger to progress. I spent a while just popping enemies (which endlessly respawn) with my main gun before googling.
Seems other people have had this problem and I had to restart. Thankfully you can speak to the guy and skip back almost up to this point and upon hitting my target with a missile I was able to progress.
Bug2 - Starting the proper game I chose the starting where you are in jail but I'm not sure this is relevant.
When using the air locks, I had 3 times that when it triggers weightlessness it jerks a little and pushed me clipping out of the station. 2 of the times I was unable to get back into the station and ended up out in space. The last time I managed to glitch back into the main corridor (still flying) and activate the airlock twice to get me back into gravity mode.
I am using a super ultrawide monitor, I don't know if this is relevant either but thought it might be worth mentioning.

Re: [Bugs] New Player Issues
With the first item, I assume you're talking about the tutorials. The tutorials have been completely reworked for the free 7.00 update, which comes out later today. Hopefully you'll find these a much better introduction to the game. 
Regarding your second item, this really isn't the kind of gamestart that we'd recommend for a new player. Again, with the 7.00 update we've highlighted gamestarts that we do recommend for new players. However, if you want to report a problem with that specific gamestart then we're going to need more information. See the very first sticky thread at the top of the forum for the information we need. In this case some kind of screenshot indicating what you mean, along with a link to an uploaded savegame, would be pretty much essential. The instructions explain how to provide this.

Re: [Bugs] New Player Issues
No worries, appreciate the response.
Good timing for me then, I'll replay when the new content comes out and if there's any issues I'll put my ex-game-testers hat back on and give you a well written bug report
Many thanks
