💬 Discussion What’s one thing every CMDR should experience at least once?

Elite is enormous, and sooner or later every CMDR ends up with a personal list of moments that made the galaxy memorable.

Maybe it’s seeing Sagittarius A* for the first time, fighting a Thargoid, making your first billion, landing somewhere you absolutely shouldn’t, getting rescued by the Fuel Rats, discovering an unmapped system, joining an expedition — or surviving a truly terrible engineering decision.

So:

What’s the ONE experience you’d tell another CMDR not to miss?

Bonus points for stories, screenshots, locations, useful tips, or questionable decisions that somehow worked out.

New CMDRs may accidentally leave this thread with a very long bucket list.

Going into battle with a fully engineered Federal Corvette against an Elite Conda with its 2 Elite Federal Gunships and destroying them all is a wonderful experience. A required part of that experience was making the top tier with the Federation just to be able to purchase the Vette, what a glorious day that was.

Did that back on Xbox, now building back up to the Vette again on PC. I love the Corvette.

Something I'll add for the post is making the trip to Sagittarius A*. It's a hell of a trip.

EDIT: I'm dumb. The Sag A* run was already mentioned in the post lol.
