If you're trying to loot merchants, you need to have very high damage weapons to take them out quickly, then lure away the defense force so you can board and grab the cargo. Taking out merchant ships is a very dangerous job, reserved for only the best of pilots.

It is recommended to avoid attacking merchant ships until you have a strong fleet. One advantage to this method is that merchant ships will still help you unless you start attacking them. However, this can get your reputation with the government very low, very fast. In the early game, the best way to get in good terms with pirates is by bribing them so they count as friendly ships for some time, then hang around to repair them. There will always be something that can help make ends meet. Trade the commodity you can get for a low or very low price and fill your remaining cargo space with it, then go to a system who will buy it for a high or very high price and sell it there. Click the systems on your mission route (or just nearby ones if you don't have missions) and look at the trading box on the left. After accepting any good transport missions (see above), go to the Map screen in Ports view. Know a good trading route and have a Drak's worth of patience? This is the job for you. Trading is a low value proposition, but very important at the start of your career. Use your time to jump from one place to another, buying and selling goods for profit. Being careful to collect higher paying missions as you go will help you fund a Heavy Shuttle, maybe a few more normal shuttles too.Ĭargo Trading is a rewarding job, if done right. If you're lucky you'll find passenger and cargo jobs to the same system. Rush deliveries and tourists usually offer the best contracts, but not always. Click the Jobs button, which shows the Map screen in Missions view. Transport missions, both cargo and passenger, are absolutely the best way to gain money in the early game. Transport, a respectable job, gains profit from picking up people from someplace, then dropping them off at another. The three earliest careers you are introduced to, are:Ĭargo Trading/Delivery ( Star Barge ) People Transport ( Shuttle )Īnd Pirate Looting.
