Collect goods and secrects, find unique creatures who may join you in the battle against the scum of the universe.

Movement

You can move to another location by clicking on the field where you want to go.
Every move costs a certain amount of Action Points (AP).
You can safe up to 3000 AP, you get one new ap every 4 seconds.
The speed of your fleet determines the ap cost per field.
You can equip your ships with additional thrusters, to make your fleet faster.
The speed of the fleet is always determined by the slowest ship in the fleet.

First Steps:

* Collect ressources and sell them at a planets trade station to get money.
* Buy mining equipment soon to multiply your efficiency when collecting ressources. Buy cargo modules to reduce the need of returning to the planet so often.
* You can have *more than 1 ship* very cheap. Just go to a planets shipyard, select “new pilot” and a ship and from now on you have doubled your cargo room and fighting capabilities. You can have up to 5 ships in your fleet.
* If you loose a ship in battle or otherwise, you can get it back at any repair station of your race, it is *not* finally lost.
