General Tips and Hints
- Fuel - take advantage of opportunities to top up, else a ship may get left behind - pay attention to fuel warnings
- Map - use the info here to plan your path, especially watch for friendly ship beacons
- Tutorials - if something feels stuck, save your campaign and check the tutorials. They cover a lot of complex systems in detail
- Formation Orders - you can give orders to multiple ships at once, using the Shift-Right Click menu - to setup a formation, use Shift-F to then link to another ship to follow.
- Scouting - early detection gives you time to react (and targets to shoot) - find out what's what before stuff starts hitting the wall
- Time Controls - Half-speed is great to help comprehend (and admire!) complex battles. - Accelerated speeds are handy for post-battle logistics
- Boarding - grab ammo and supplies where you can - skiffs can quickly check what's available - beware of damaged reactors - if you see X DANGER. Undock and RUN!
