The early Terran freighter will bring in some credits. Then I bought a Terran freighter with I'm guessing 3,000 capacity, or maybe it was 1,500-Baldric. You will get a large amount of money for your saber I think the laser makes it worth that much around $600,000 (you will lose a laser though, and they cost around 320,000). Toxilium, if you need any specific advice with the Terran Fighter turned into a trader start I am more than willing to give advice to get you started just ask.įor example, what I did was save up for a Rapier, they are cheap at $40,000-60,000, and then sell my Saber. I guess that is one of the joys of this game. Doing these helped me easily get the $ needed to get my ship back during the Tormented Teladi start and thus open up the poisoned paranid start. especially good when you have two freight scan missions for two pirates at same time, double $ each scan. I've easily scanned 30-40 ships and gotten nearly a $1,000,000. If you have a fast ship just zoom around a sector scanning everything there is. I've even made a quick million doing asteroid scan missions.Īnother early game $$ maker is to get a freight scanner, go into pirate space, and scan ships for money. with a jump drive it is easy to jump to a races shipyard, buy a factory, and place it easily under even the "very hard" time. If you get yourself a TL you can do station build missions. As your rank increases you can get huge amounts of "profittsss" from doing any missions. Makes for quicker docking once you get within a certain distance of particular stations. One thing that will greatly help on the transport people missions and in general is getting a docking computer. Anyway I'm really loving this game, especially with a joystick. There are people with 100s of hour into the game, so you might get more detailed/better advice than mine. Also save up for a freighter that can hold a decent amount of freight, you will make more credits that way. Some beginners advice is trade protein paste from the logistical base in Uranus to the food process plant in Uranus that is usually a good trade. The key is not to give up after the first hour when you have your first crappy ship, imo the game picked up quite a bit for me and I think the game has good pacing. I was pretty much pigeon holed into taking the trading route or so it seems for me. I have found a large part of the game is all about exploring your options on what you want to try to earn credits. Just make sure the taxi mission time looks manageable to you. Once you get a people transporter spaceship you can make a good 160,000 credits, the mission may say hard or very hard, but even with an average speed ship I still passed it. I'm fairly wealthy now, far from where I started, but it has taken me around 72 Hrs, which I do not mind. Basically I'm scraping together enough credits to get a decent and loaded fighter such as a scimitar (atleast it looks good), and then get into fights. Now I have a few ships under me (including some better ones) which I automate. This makes combat much, much easier.Yeah I started as a Terran Fighter, but I totally went off script and did mostly trading (buying low, selling high). One version of it gives you a degree of auto aim on your main ship. There's a ship upgrade you need, I think it's called Combat Software or something.Different factions' ships all have different properties, so ship around and look for one that matches your play style. You'll get one if you do enough Terran missions, but Terran fighters aren't that great, since they can only use fairly crappy weapons. Assuming you want to play as a combatant, your first goal is to get an M3 type fighter (then an M3+).More reputation = more stuff you're allowed to buy from them. By doing tasks for factions, or killing pirates in their space, you build reputation with them.Having them fight on AI with you will often just get them killed. With the free ships, it's often best just to sell them get cash if you don't want to drive them yourself. Make sure that you save often and in different slots though, it might be better now, but some of the quests used to be glitchy as hell.
