Solar System
- Make sure you visit every planet in the Solar 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.
Starbase
- Sell your Ion-Bolt Gun, concentrate on buying Antimatter Thrusters and then a new Storage Bay.
- Don't spend your money on Turning Jets unless you have installed all possible modules.
- Don't buy more Fuel Tanks than you need.
Resources
- Learn to distinguish minerals by their colors from the scan, and remember not to waste fuel collecting the cheapest ones.
- You can just leave the smallest mineral deposit (2 RU's of Barium) on Mars, for example.
- Notice that if you shoot mineral deposits, even just once, they are completely destroyed.
Battles
- 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.
General
- Listen to what the starbase commander has to say.
- Write down the names of the races mentioned and their home star systems or co-ordinates, if given; also other stars and co-ordinates you come across and their particulars.
