Just an added note: the higher relations you get with a port, the closer it will offer to the perfect selling price. So if you are trying to estimate the price you should be bargaining and start to miss trades, this is probably why. When you get to 1000 relations with a port, it offers you the perfe...

The help files are, unfortunately, unfinished right now. I am pretty sure Nariis is still working on them among other things. Blade and I have posted a lot of FAQs on this Forum under the FAQ section (of all places!). They should help you get a good grasp on some important concepts and maybe clear u...

This is a bit like asking "What is the best pizza topping?" Everyone will have their own opinions and their own favorite. So which race is the best for you? The best way to find out is to try one on for size. But there are some that may suit you better than others. The differences in the r...

It's up to you whether you want to let everyone see it Nariis. I've posted most of what I had on my allliance message board to the FAQ part of the WebBoard, and I'm working on some more. If you want to use any of it, feel free.

Experience itself isn't really useful, but the amount of experience you have determines your player level. There are a few reasons why having a high level is a good thing. Your player level adds a bonus to the accuracy of your weapons in ship-to-ship combat. The formula for this accuracy is INT((Bas...

SMC is generally a very good aid to navigation. You either put in info from sectors you explore, or you download a map that someone else has made. In addition to just being a much better map than the galaxy map (and no green either...), SMC also does a lot of very useful things. One of the most popu...

You can buy mines and combat drones for 10000 credits each and scouts for 5000 each at any Combat Accessories (CA) shop. But be careful, quite often the area around a CA is dangerous. It will have scout drones and possibly even mines because CAs are popular and popular places are good hunting and fi...

Simple answer, although you may not like it. You don't. At least not for awhile anyway. Most of the big guys out there know what they're doing.
