I started out on corellia and i've walked around and wasted several hours of trying to find some way to get off the planet and travel, but i can't seem to find any NPC or shop the would either rent/or sell me a ship. even though i don't have much credits i think it's enough to maybe rent a ship. Any advice/help would be much appreciated. Thank you ahead of time.
One thing the guide does not tell you how to do; Find out which city has off world transport.
From your travel screen, select planet to view all of the cities. Look for a city that looks like this;
Now that you have a desired destination, you should look for the NPC who can rent you a speeder, cross terrain travel on foot will take forever.
Once you arrive in the city you will find the NPC who can arrange your passage off the planet inside the starport.
If you have not selected a faction or group to join, you should do so. There are also a couple groups that offer to rent you a ship to use. You have a limited amount of starting funds, purchase your passage off Corellia wisely or you could find yourself on another planet with no way to leave.

The real key is pick a good faction to start with. Larger factions are usually better about picking up new people and getting them up to speed on the interface. You may not want to stay there indefinitely, but for getting started, they are excellent resources.
If you want some time to think about factions, and want to be freelance, then you can rent a ship and get a job asap. There are usually other rental offers listed in the classifieds as well, so check them out too.
However, it is generally the path of least resistance to join a faction, being independent is a lot more work from what I understand. It all depends on what you want and how much effort you want to put in as in most things. Good luck.

Jaddar, I do not think this is the appropriate place to promote your business venture. Though there are not any posted rules prohibiting it, this is not the commerce, recruiting, or any other forum besides the "New Member Help" forum. A statement that the options exist such as I made should be enough. If someone were to ask for more info, then referring them to the commerce threads would appropriate. While other options are offered by people like yourself, the official position of the game is that it is designed for and around faction. New players are best served by joining one and getting a feel for the game and then deciding what else they might like to do. As Rune mentioned Factions do more than just provide employment, many also have training programs to get a player up to speed on playing the game.
