Is space weed a common currency in X world? Or is that a TC only thing?
Also, I started Reunion last night. After I crashed my ship trying to dock with the Renown on the first training mission, I realized this is going to be a steep learning curve.
Then I realized there's a the docking computer...then I felt silly.
well it's going to be a steep learning curve regardless.
but not because of docking.
check out this in the official forums, some of the stuff looks hella outdated but I bet it's still probably one of the best ways to get past the learning curve. some excellent guides in there.
I played on normal and got myself killed by the scouts in those opening story missions. This is embarrassing. So I went down to easy mode until I get a little better feel for things
i was playing pretty well until i got a mission to go get this one ship. I claimed it and got back in mine and went through a gate thingy. I noticed that the ship following me was going really slow, it was taking forever to get through the gate. i decided to switch ships, cause i'd rather be flying the slow one than waiting on it to catch up with me. so get in the slow ship, and command my own ship to follow me, because i'm about to get going. it promptly crashes into me
i dont know where i was last saved. i dont want to know yet
Generally in the X-series difficulty only effects your starting equipment and whether or not things like auto-target are automatically turned on (auto-target is still available in higher difficulties, though)

Finding out where you last saved after a multi-gate jump into the middle of Xenon territory is oftentimes rather depressing.
Turned me off the game for a couple of weeks because it annoyed the crap out of me.
Trading isnt that hard to figure out in this game. If an item is overstocked, it will be cheap. If it's understocked it will be expensive. Buy where it's abundant, sell where it's needed.
i.e. a solar power plant with a full warehouse will sell energy cells for 12c each. A factory with no energy will buy at 19c. You can get even better deals by bartering with traders at stations, but that's a little tedious since it requires manual trading. After I get my first million or two, I just buy a merchant ship and set a trader on it to work for me.
Prices at trade stations, equipment docks and outposts are static however, so it's a good place to dump if everywhere else is overstocked.
I hit autopilot and my ship randomly turned around and smashed into a gate. Now my top speed is 37m/s and repairs are stupid expensive. I have 7,000 credits haha
I got myself stuck in my first autosave death loop in Reunion last night.
On the second mission, from the Gonar Temple, chasing down that one pirate guy in Farnham's Legend. I saw a Kha'ak attacking a mining ... thing. So I swerved, killed the Kha'ak, docked at the mining facility for kicks...
Then promptly got swarmed by a bunch of pirates when I undocked with some sort of odd tractor beam like weapon that engulfed me in a cone of suck. The closest autosave was...docked at the mining facility.
Hm, well if you've got an m4 you can start attacking pirates til your race rep is good enough to buy a police license and you get paid to do it. Attack and capture pirate transports, run missions, trade in higher margin goods, anything.
You can buy a police license at any trading station. You need Trading Software Mk 1-3 on the ship you want to do the trading for you if you want fully automatic trading (Sector and Universal Traders) or a trade extension on your own ship, if you want to do manual, remote trade runs.
I also just watched the entirety of Venture Bros Season 3 in one sitting and went to the thread here to talk about it, only to find that it was like the stupid singularity. What the hell SE++?

you're selling weed. by the metric ton. jesus christ
edit: aaand I'm finally trying out this game
You guys get megabits per second?
I'm glad when i get 600Kb/s ¬_¬
i dont know where i was last saved. i dont want to know yet
Too bad the download finished 20 minutes before I have to leave for class.
I went with "Custom Game" because all the other options looked lame, will I be adversely affected by this choice in any way?
Right now I have 6 credits and 6 Argnu Beef that no one wants to buy because I don't have ENOUGH beef. I'll figure out to make money eventually.

Depends. If you're playing Reunion, you dont get the storyline missions. If you're playing Terran Conflict you're fine.
Cool, I'm playing TC. Now to find out where to take this beef.
I'm going to have so much fun slowly going crazy trying to figure things out myself.

Like, Xenons are kiling me in a single attack run T_T
edit: nevermind, figured out i can't pick up passengers

It was rather unamusing...
I think you need to buy life-support for your cargo bay.
EDIT: Also, made 500Cr selling some meatloaf.
Need a bigger cargo-hold ¬_¬
I looked at ships. They're expensive.
Does everyone start off with a Buster?
You can repair your ship by ejecting in your space-suit (shift-E), then firing your repair laser at it.
Thanks for that tip, I've been going back to the last save because i can't afford repair costs.
QQ, how did you get up to a couple a million credits? I don't want to be ferrying power cells back and forth for days
Really guys it's in the manual.
