First off, many thanks to the maker(s) of the game. Loving it, and the various OXPs too!
I'm new to this but have found a few things after reading the threads here that have come in very handy - and when first realised, have resulted in those forehead smacking moments of realisation we all know and love.
I expect those with experience to tut with the obviousness of some of these, but please post your top tips here for us beginners! I guess it'd be nice to have all these in one thread.
Starting off with mine...
1. Holding down the z key to zoom in quickly for 5:1 scanner viewing; press again to quickly zoom back to 1:1. (any chance of shift-z to zoom out please?)
2. Lots of little Witchjumps actually take less game time than big ones it would appear. Useful for those cargo/passenger deadlines.
3. Scooping fuel is MUCH easier from smaller stars (as shown on map)
4. Pressing the i key on the star map shows icons (which are learnt pretty quickly!)
5. On the passenger list, after highlighting potential passengers, pressing ? shows the planet destination, pressing again goes back to the passenger list.
...and the best one for last!
6. Pressing the enter key on the trading screen to buy/sell all! I still can't get over how long I was pressing left/right cursor keys in a RSI inducing tedium.
Top tips!

At the moment only have one gem to offer from when I occasionally play FFE that works just as well in Oolite:
Sell your starting ship for something cheaper and kit it out.
Rxke recommended the Cobra MKI - I agree, very nice.

The act of talking b*ll*cks whilst waving one's arms about wildly is referred to as testiculation.
