The Moray Starboat was a great starter ship, but I bought a Cobra Mk III when I could.

A couple are required, I didn't actually keep track. Keep in mind this is from one edge of Galaxy 1 all the way to the other (left to right). I used to do it without Deep Space Pirates OXP, so if I needed to hop on an anarchy system, I could get there rather safely. Now it would be a bit of a differ...

I have a passenger berth (2 in fact), so crossing the galaxcy from one side to another can be quite profitable. I think I got almost 20,000 in one run once from the passenger alone, with trade along the way more than paying for fuel.

To avoid any misunderstanding, my previous post was supposed to be sarcastic. I love cats, appreciate face-painting and very much agree about being civil. I wasn't sure in what vein the other posts were amde and it sparked my response. Worth considering that although there is no Commander_bell or DB...

Getting a cheaper ship was a big solution for me as well. Even if I didn't get full value, going from a Cobra III to a Moray Star Boat, left me with plenty of money left over to outfit it rather nicely. Using Gold, Platinium and gems a lot helped and I got a passenger berth, because they tended to p...

God forbid we send gifts to people who are a bit odd.
Next thing you know we'll be writing our own space combat games and discussing imaginary worlds with people we have never met.

Dump the OXPs and only add a few.
I started with Fuel Stations, Commies, FTZ and Dictators. Then try it again.

I figured that when he was living in Gallifrey, there's wasn't much danger, so he lived fine, (and Gallifrey had a great health system, like NHS, but with no waiting, since you jump ahead in time to when your appointment is and then jump back when done) He moved to Earth and kinda just hung out ther...

My first Doctor was Tom Baker, who is 'my' Doctor, but later I saw earlier Doctors like Jon Pertwee and Patrick Troughton (and seeing earlier things later is kinda apt for DW). I liked Christopher Eccleston and wished he had stayed for more than one season. I'm very interested to see what the writer...

I hadn't experienced that, though I have seen some missles take what seems like forever to hit a target.

Thanks Thargoid!,

Currently though, I'm under the gun to pay back a Black Monk loan, so the extra cargo has come in handy, I'll update after I pay back the loan.

5 Ton rule for noobs

Having flown around Galaxy 1 long enough and currently desperately trying to pay off a Black Monk loan, I have developed one good rule of thumb, which I call the 5 Ton rule. Rather than taking on full loads and intended to sell them. Always leave 5 tons of cargo area open. Because space is a big and...

I stopped and followed when he said "I have some information", because I figured that was where he was leading me. and then I followed him for quite some time. (Enough time, to get bored, launch firefox, and start this thread, read the first response and get an idea) I have yet to get brib...
