Isn't it time you were in bed?
That's a big topic.. and there are lots of threads on this already.. here's a couple to get you started:

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Long Way Round and Asteroid Storm ... two good mission OXPs for starting players. Although you might want to wait for 1.74 before running Asteroid Storm, so you can see the
new normalmapped asteroids in all their glory ...

Caps lock is considered to be extremely rude, like shouting. Please dont do it.

CAPS LOCK = SHOUTING = bad etiquette unless it really is to emphasise a point!

Reference your enquiry about sound GUNSMIF.
Have you tried Hawksounds? It tones down the menu noises a bit and includes a computer voice for most ship operations.
