Tips of new pilots:

Harvesting to make money is very easy in the early days. (You'll need different harvesters though)

Also your ship is an inferior version of what it is supposed to be.

Oh and deaths are pretty forgiving in terms of skills and exp and aps lost. They do transport you though. A HUGE pain I find.

Don't touch the things which look like crystals? They're really crunchy. With a great aftertaste though.

Interplanetary Trade is actually very very profitable. You make really large amounts of money. I made 6 million with like, 10k APs. (I have a big ship though, maybe about 10x the size of the newbie ship, 3Million with 50k APs?)

Firefly is the lowend skiller/ranker/fighter ship. The raptor is the same price. Atlas is the regular trader. (I'm not going to call it low end because there's basically nothing else.)

Buildings make much less money in comparison to planets. Not worth it until you have the Atlas and are bored or something.

A difference of five skill points can make or break you. Having turrets is definitely better than no turrets and slightly bigger guns. Money comes easier than it goes.

Oh and the combat system is by default 20 rounds of pew pew, I think I died the first time I hit attack.
