Hey all, as title says, I am new to Elite Dangerous, and I am I having some issues.

I finished the tutorial, got spawned at the first hangar, and was given my first mission to go speak to some contact, but it won't let my plan a route to where the contact is, just says "Route unavailable", anyone know why this is not working? I mean, it's the first mission the game hands you, doesn't feel like it should stop you in your tracks right away.Anyways I then accepted another mission hoping to at least get something done, but then I just got some error saying "blah blah drive fuel 0.60"…

I'm really trying to give this a go since I've heard a lot of good things about the game, but it seems insistent on me not playing it.

What SHOULD I do when I first start playing? I mean, I know the whole "blaze your own path"-thing, but it doesn't seem to work like that.

I'd appreciate ANY direction.
