Section 1: Starting Out – The First Steps to a Star-Studded Fleet
Feeling lost in the galaxy, overwhelmed by the upgrades options? Don't panic. There are some simple spots for new pilots (like me!), helping to slowly become better and smarter with the many upgrades available to choose from in the vast galaxy! (we are learning the galaxy, like a great space voyage. A lot of time needed!)
The Early Game Upgrade Landscape: Essential Upgrades
- Hangar Bay space: Need more cargo capacity or to fit more personal stuff? Start with improving your hangar space!
- Hull reinforcement: You wanna be sure your precious stuff doesn't get wrecked easily from space rocks or hostile players? (It's so frustrating seeing my work crash to the ground)
- Armor Enhancement: Making the ship sturdy, keeping your cargo from exploding and causing unnecessary issues, and avoiding dangerous attacks will improve survivability!
Essential Considerations (and what I learnt from others!)
- Prioritize practicality over style: Start with your need. Speed? Armament? Carrying goods? Do what's logical before chasing shiny decorations. (Focus on survival, people said this so much!).
- Modularity (not just what you need right now but for what you might want later): Even little things, like upgrades later, will help you so don't overthink these simple choices! (Important! Think ahead, people told me this.)
Essential Places
- Market: Trading for necessities for ship construction or making repairs! (Useful places are where your ship can start its great life in space!)
