gameplay suggestions

When you've just started out upon a galaxy of adventure and mayhem, there are a couple of suggestions that a new player should be wary of. First, try to avoid unnecessary conflict (i.e. starting fights for no reason-or really any reason) and also trying to build your ship sensibly. Players who do the whole "rush in, fools do" will soon find that they have spent their available cash on a unnecessary object. For example, starting off by filling the entire ship with cargo bays, with only one living quarter, and little else is just asking for everything to fail on you. Same goes for buying a cool looking ship, only to find that it has less mod space the your previous ship.

As well as this, only accept missions that are simple (at least at first). If you see a bounty hunter mission DON'T DO IT!!!!! Bounty missions are EXTREMELY hard for a newbie. This may not be the case for sum, as targets sometimes are softer than others. Cargo missions are good, but make sure you see that the amount of money you are getting out of the bulk load (divide the total payout by the amount of cargo- use a calculator) is actually worth it. If you pass up a good opportunity to get a large amount of money per item, then you're just shooting yourself in the foot.

Also, you do NOT want to make your crew unhappy. This will cause issues later on. The best way to satisfy your crew is having all the bunkrooms the same. E.g. two man bunks all round. Plus, add some recreation and relaxation facilities. The recommended maximum is 2.
