A little advice

Hey folks,

So, after spending some time learning the ropes, I finally have a pretty good handle on flying my little sidwinder around and earning some cash.

Right now I have 2 pulse lasers and that's it. I am over at Beagle Station, so there is a pretty good inventory and I have 20k to spend.

Suggestions on what, if anything to buy?

Thanks!

Use your galaxy map to read the descriptions of the other systems and try to see what items would sell for a good price where. Also look at the price vs the average.

what i did: i grabbed 2 gimballed pulse lasers, went to the federation distress signal, chosed eranin, killed some (150+) fed f*gs, sold the lasers, jumped into an eagle, rebought the 2 lasers (and 1 more hehe)
from there its only a matter of time to get a cobra and spend a *lot* of ¢ on armory, better weapons, and some other obligatorial stuff like the cargo-scanner, point-defense, afm-unit etc.

Good strategy. Personally I ground up to 2 gimballed PL then haunted the conflict zones to gain enough cash to start trading gold in the sidewinder. Alternating that and combat sessions ground me up to a Cobra.

Buy the Cobra as soon as you can afford it. Sell your PLs, and also sell the one gun that comes as standard with the Cobra. This will give you a grubstake to start trading again. Be cautious and run away from the bad guys quickly, and you'll soon afford 2 gimballed class 1 PLs again with some cash to cover insurance. Start combat again, and build up to better weapons. Make money to finance high stakes trading.

Thanks for the replies, guys.

BTW, can anyone give me a rundown on Class 1 vs Class 2, etc?

The wiki doesn't really help alot in that regard.

If you search for 'stoopyface', he's done a great thread on weapons stats. 'Everything you wanted to know about weapons but were afraid to ask'

Don't know how to stick the thread in here sorry

I'd stick with the 2 Fixed pulse lasers. That way when you die (which you will), it will only cost you 1850cr to replace your loadout.

Keep plugging away at the conflict zones and you'll soon have enough to replace the SW with a Cobra.

Trading in a Cobra is way more profitable than in a Sidewinder.
