- Make sure you visit every planet in the Sol system, and completely scan them (only where the game permits, of course).
- Venus is a dangerous planet with a low mineral yield and is better left alone.
- Mercury can be very risky as well - unless you are skilled with landing, it is also better left alone.
- Radioactive Materials have been found on the moons orbiting the gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) before. This could prove useful.
- Pluto is on the left, nearer the top of the screen than the bottom. The other smudges on the outer orbit are just stars in the distance.
- Whatever you do, do NOT leave the Solar system until you are absolutely positive you have done all the missions there and explored all safe planets.
- Learn to distinguish minerals by their colors from the scan, and remember not to waste fuel collecting the cheapest ones.
- If you have difficulty with the first battle, try exploring the entire solar system first. It's bound to have some sources of interest.
- Expect to lose crew, even in the first system you visit, but don't lose any needlessly.
- Listen to what the starbase commander has to say.
