New pilot guide

The tutorial in sector 0-1, your first steps and a good path from Phoenix to Goliath.

The tutorial (sector 0-1)#

Every new pilot starts in a private copy of sector 0-1. Follow the flashing arrow and the messages:

1. Fly to the escort ship – left-click where you want to fly.
2. Destroy three Streuner: click one to target it, attack with 1 (lasers), then try rockets with 2.
3. Repair with 3 – the repair bot only works while your ship stands still.
4. Collect 3 glowing cargo boxes by clicking them.
5. Fly back to the escort.
6. Collect the lost cargo: 3 Prometium, 2 Endurium, 1 Terbium.
7. Follow the escort to the jump portal.
8. Jump with J (or the jump button).
9. At your home station: sell your ore with Trade (top right), look at the hangar and talk to Mission Control (the quest giver).

If you log out during the tutorial it starts again next time. If you die or leave the map, the tutorial ends and you play on from your base.

Your first hours#

1. Hunt Streuner on X-1 (1-1, 2-1 or 3-1) – they are passive and only fight back. Collect the bonus boxes everywhere: credits, uridium and ammo.
2. Take quests at Mission Control and do the two daily quests for Galaxy Gate energy.
3. Buy lasers and shields in the Shop and equip them in the Equipment window. Every free slot should hold something.
4. Move on to X-2 by level 7: on X-1 your rewards shrink from level 7 on, and from level 10 X-1 gives nothing any more.
5. Get drones – Flax for credits, later Iris for uridium. They carry lasers and shields.
6. Save uridium for a Vengeance (30,000 U) or a Goliath (80,000 U), LF-3 lasers and SG3N-B02 shields.

Things to know#

• Level 1 – 8 are protected: other pilots can't attack you unless you shoot first.
• Safe zones: nobody can attack you near a station.
• Aggressive aliens (Lordakia, Saimon, Mordon …) attack you when you come within 500 of them. If you ignore one for 20 seconds it gives up and flies off. See Aliens.
• When you are destroyed the basic repair at your base is always free.
• Your skill tree gets 2 points per level – spend them!
• Invite friends with your code for rewards for both of you.
