A couple of good tips for a new player: Go to chat. Get friends. You're are much more likely to get accepted into an already existing alliance that way. If you have problems with anything and ppl aren't helping out then go to (Warning! Commercial!) #smr-help (/join #smr-help) and someone there will help you. Speak out the names of anyone in there and be a bit patient. Someone will be around eventually - usually right away.

Another good trick is selling your newbie laser ASAP, this gives u 40k+ $ and u can by cargo holds, it helps a lot if u're not in a alliance.

also, dont waste any turns mapping. wait until someone finds where you can buy an ist and has your entire racial galaxy mapped for you so you can look for a good traderoute before you even move.

Well the question was how ppl had so much exp so early and Adrach answered. Doesn't mean that was what he did himself. And even so it may be with the alliance's blessing.

correct, adrach did answer the question as to how that much exp a single player can gain right away. I was just adding my two cents on this method. Also, if you read the context of Adrach's post it is more of a singular decision than that of an alliance decision. When the words "you" and "your" are included 5 times in a sentance that shows what that person did it is more about them than their alliance. If he didn't want it percieved that way he should have mentioned his alliance somewhere in there, he did not and I put in what I thought about it. Exp is just a pretty number, money is more important at the start than exp and more than likely there is a better money route than the high exp route.

another good way is dont worry about xp get your racial standings up to 1000 then you can get the highest xp on each trade without having to truly bagain this way you can build yourself quickly.
