Choose a direction
Fly, trade, gather resources or build a station. Start by learning your ship and the nearby stations, then use the sector and system maps to plan your next trip.
Read the space around you
Sector entries list security, hazards, resources and gate connections. Security and environmental danger are separate: a policed sector can still contain dangerous space.
Build a working route
Find a resource source, a station that needs it and a return cargo. Markets and production change stock over time, so check prices before committing to a haul.
