@hk there’s a #StarfieldLorecast. (creator of the excellent #FalloutLorecast I’ve followed for a couple years)
In episode 2 (2 so far) they give tips and address your question
Basically, they recommend getting to the point of the game where you unlock all of the the Constellation’s allies.
It seems that the main quest line is also a kind of tutorial for the Intricacies of the game
I’m not there yet, but apparently an unlock will change the game around that time
