Hi! So I suck at combat and need more practice, and while I’ve always wanted to be a space bounty Hunter like Cowboy Bebop, I have also always wanted to be a Space Trucker! So space trucking is what I’m doing. I’m flying around the newbie area collecting courier missions, delivery missions, and source and return missions. For example I just made £200,000 turning in about six or seven missions in one port. I’m nearly at 3 million about 20hours of play. The problem is I’m afraid to leave the newbie area, will the missions outside be too tough? Will they send me on huge journeys across the galaxy? Would the next step be finding trade routes and actually trading instead of missions? I think what I’m doing atm is super profitable, I’m scared to lose that, but I also want better gears and ships. What should be my next steps as a Space Trucker guys?
First of all, welcome to the Galaxy, Commander!
Second, let me add my voice to people who tell you to get out of the PFZ - you have no idea how restrictive it is in there. Get into the
real Galaxy, find a base, and get to work.
I advise you to fly to Ehecatl - it's a simply MASSIVE system right outside the Zone with a LOT of Stations and tons of work for a willing Commander. Cut your teeth on
real Trading
, and get yourself a T-6 when you can; it's an excellent little space-truck. (Great view from the cockpit too).
From there, you should have the knowledge and experience to push out farther into the Galaxy, and eventually find your own home AWAY from the PFZ.
Oh - and pro-tip: you know those 'Explore the Galaxy' missions you're seeing? The ones that tell you to leave the PFZ and collect 100,000cr? Go to every station in the Starter Zone and collect them
all before leaving. It'll give you a couple million in the bank - a good way to begin.
Now get out of the kiddie pool!
