Guide no DLC Spoiler free.

I would recommend you unlock dr Selaia Tarren
You get the whole map, if you take her.

Find a good map seed. It is not necessary in ver 7 Since there is a defend station there.

You can find your first free ship here.
Very important save your game before entering the xenon sector
You can find more on YouTube how to claim a ship

I would recommend sell it. and start research hack.
Remember to put a container module on.

Buy two transport ships and use them at PHQ.
Remember to enter the amount to be used in HQ

Easy money with mining, and EMP bombs. you can save many millions.

Do missions, Take the easy ones that don't give as much money, and continue on the red circle.
Do some police work, look for the Secure Container you need them for EMP bombs

when you get enough money then you have to buy 5 magpie miner here

then set them up like this. in these sectors
Ore and Silicon

explore command if you cannot see any stations. remember to set up a satellite next to the Ore/silicon refinery

stay in sector and look for lodestone.

find a workbench to make EMP bombs

Secure Container they are hard to find, but you can find them here

Now you've got some money to work with. and hack blueprint.

go here and buy 2 of these. or 6 it depends on how much money you have

Buy the best mining ship in the game.

And go to that place with the ship.
Remember to click at the station and modify the ship.
Remember to buy mine drones.

Buy flak. best guns in game.

make mining station here
a lot of khaak, need big mining ships in those sectors, so use the ones you just bought. same principle as magpie

Make them your own

Then it is up to you whether you would like to sell to AI or to yourself.
touch sell for now. We need more money.

use your magpie to sell.

Gas mining Helium and Methane

buy some big Gas miner. Same place, same principle.

Nividium mining. Make a Mining Station here, buy a lot magpies same principle
Remember and press nividium on select trade wares

and sell too.
Spoiler alert It's not everything you have to sell.

I would suggest we build it all here.
add more if you think it's not going fast enough and your fabs are missing stuff,

plot size 4+4+4 is enough. it is very expensive to put a plot by the highway.

buy a lot of them. you can always upgrade them when you have built your wharf..
They are good against the pirates
And put them to work at the stations that you have made.

make your stations your own.
It doesn't always work, they don't really understand how to work together.

Ore/gas must be processed, let's do it here.

add more if you are not happy. ;)

there is always a big demand for advanced electronics, and weapon components.

build them here.

I use a nemesis, but you can use whatever ship suits you. but you need one more ship.. i will take a freighter, with marines
Here I want to pirate a phoenix, just to sell it

safe spot.
save your game.

scan it twice

look for police.
your mouse cursor over the red circle and drag.

how do you find pirates?
On search type plunder.

Because I have made this guide in image form, is so that everyone can join.
