Resource Gathering Hints

• Keep a log of the systems you've visited. Note those with resource rich planets that are too hostile to land on. You may be able to come back to them later.
• Don't waste time and fuel on gathering common or corrosive metals. They don't earn you RUs so well.
• Get really good at killing Ilwrath and Slylandro. Practice against them in Super Melee.
• The Ilwrath Avenger is a very risky fight, one slip and you face serious damage. For an easier method of gaining RUs through combat, try your hand against the VUX. The Intruder ship is very weak against the Spathi Eluder and the Earthling Cruiser.
• Buy technology from the Melnorme rather than knowledge initally. The technology you get will make it easier to get more credits and thus more technology & knowledge.
