If your've never played it before then it is awesome.
HOWEVER... one hell of a steep learning curve.
for example ...
When you finally get to a space station ... (You WILL have been killed several times over) you will promptly crash into the space station and die !!
Have patience young padawan!!
You will severly tempted to buy a docking computer as soon as you can afford it.
DON'T
You will learn how to dock flat out pretty soon. Use your credits to buy larger cargo space (means more money earnt each trip).
Oh... BIG tip..
Sell that front cannon pronto !!
Then rebuy it and have it fitted to the rear. You can then keep the baddies at arms length and kick ten bells outa them while your running away.
Coz they will almost certainly kill you.
Rear cannon is an absolute must for war against Thargoids as well !!
Have fun.
And remember .. Riedquat is hell
hehe
oh.. Learn how to use the radar too.
