What do I do first?

Post by Wonks »

This, of course, depends on what you want to do. The logical first step is to trade and make some money and experience. To do this you need to find somewhere to trade, but more on this in another question. Having maps of your galaxy or wherever else you want to trade would help. Remember that your newbie turns are very valuable, so if the game has been around for more than a few days, you will probably want to get maps from someone who already has them rather than exploring by yourself. To get maps from someone else, you have to join an alliance and then someone in the alliance has to send them.

A good first step once you have some maps is to sell that laser of yours. It's worthless to you because it is very weak and you cannot be attacked anyway until you run out of newbie turns, but weapons dealers will pay good cash for it. You can sell your laser at any weapons dealer for the same price.

Now that you have a little spending cash, go buy some holds. Remember that place you started at with the Headquarters and the shops? Thats where you want to go to buy holds. If you have seen a location called "Uno Hardware" you can go there to buy holds as well. Remember, never spend all your money. You will need some to buy trade goods. You should have enough money to buy all the holds your ship has room for and still have some left over, but check anyway before you buy. NEVER buy armor and shields unless you are sure you will have a few thousand credits left over. Remember that while you have newbie turns you are completely untouchable so you don't need armor or shields till you run out of them. And then your shields and armor still wont really save you unless you play smart. With that said, it's time to start trading and make as much money as you can.
