I would recommend you unlock dr Selaia Tarren



Find a good map seed.



You can find your first free ship here.
Very important save your game before entering the xenon sector



I would recommend sell it. and start research hack.



Buy two transport ships and use them at PHQ

Easy money with mining, and EMP bombs. you can save many millions.

Do missions, Take the easy ones that don't give as much money, and continue on the red circle.
Do some police work, look for the Secure Container you need them for EMP bombs



when you get enough money then you have to buy 5 magpie miner here





then set them up like this. in these sectors
Ore and Silicon



explore command if you cannot see any stations. remember to set up a satellite next to the Ore/silicon refinery



stay in sector and look for lodestone.



find a workbench to make EMP bombs



Secure Container they are hard to find, but you can find them here

Now you've got some money to work with. and hack blueprint.

go here and buy 2 of these. or 6 it depends on how much money you have





and go too



Buy flak



make mining station here
a lot of khaak, need big mining ships in those sectors, so use the ones you just bought. same principle as magpie





Make them your own



Then it is up to you whether you would like to sell to AI or to yourself.
touch sell for now. We need more money.



use your magpie to sell.



Gas mining Helium and Methane



buy some big Gas miner. Same place, same principle.



Nividium mining. Make a Mining Station here, buy a lot magpies same principle
Remember and press nividium on select trade wares



and sell too.

I would suggest we build it all here.
add more if you think it's not going fast enough and your fabs are missing stuff,


plot size 4+4+4 is enough. it is very expensive to put a plot by the highway.









buy a lot of them. you can always upgrade them when you have built your wharf..
They are good against the pirates



make your stations your own.

Ore/gas must be processed, let's do it here.


add more if you are not happy. ;)

there is always a big demand for advanced electronics, and weapon components.





build them here.

I use a nemesis, but you can use whatever ship suits you. but you need one more ship.. i will take a freighter, with marines
Here I want to pirate a phoenix, just to sell it

safe spot.
save your game.





scan it twice









look for police.
your mouse cursor over the red circle and drag.











how do you find pirates?
On search type plunder.

Because I have made this guide in image form, is so that everyone can join.
I hope you can use some of it.
