It is always timed and it can mess up your route. Be carefull accepting a job offered this way. These are offered in the Job Board usually or, in some occasions, when you hit the Spaceport button. In general there are 3 kinds of jobs and 3 kinds of missions. Buy a fuel pod to increase your range to four (same as the shuttle).Įt voila!!! You have the range of the shuttle, one passener more than the shuttle and your cargo hold intact which is 50 against 20 of the shuttle, plus 40K in hand and a mortgage of, let’s say 2K instead of 2.5K plus.
Power is mainly used by the shields (your’s is paper thin so small amount needed) and the guns which you don’t have, so get that space!!!
A pilot is always as good as his maps, a trader even more, as they also provide trading prices for the “known” systems. Nevertheless go to the outfitter and get a map. maybe not all of it… afterall he’s old generation right? Maybe he’s been put there for a reason by the programmer, maybe he’s just a distraction, but anyway be polite enough to listen to what he says AND follow his advice like the good person you are (still). Baby StepsĪ start with the Barge is supposed to have happened for the duration of this guide.Īs you exit the Shipbuilder, on the tarmac of the Spaceport you are aproached by James, an old, retired Captain. At least it has a “decent” free outfit space and lots of cargo space to play with, converting to outfit if necessary (hopefully not). Just like the program says the choice is your’s, then again, there is an Ancient Greek proverb that goes like this (translated) Everything (done) in measure is best, therefore it is recommended to start wih the Barge. The only one with guns (albeit pop guns), short Range, even smaller Passenger space than the Barge and almost noexisten Cargo space. Midlle (comparative) in price, sort Range, small Passenger space and the biggest Cargo space of the three. Most obviously it’s the “easy” start of the game. The cheapest of the three with the longest Range, most Passenger space and small Cargo space. There are three availlable, actually displaying the levels of difficulty you want to face. So you are about to start the game, having signed up a mortgage at an exhorbitant interest rate you surely wonder which ship ino your money range should you start with.
