• If your not working with an evil who will let you capture their ship for your commission, post on them in the police station . WARNING!  If you post then capture their ship, you won't get your money back. You have to destroy their ship to get the bounty credits back. This was changed not too long ago.
• When your H has a citadel, put a transporter on it. After you build up a good ore base, colonize through the transporter. (see MISCELLANEA:TRANSPORTERS)
• When starting your planets, keep in mind you will need an area you can expand.
• If you need a good defense for one specific sector, sit in a tholian with maxed figs and shields. This would be better than sitting in a maxed interdictor cruiser. (see MISCELLANEOUS :THOLIANS)
• Your 3 most important planets:

        Class L--your capitol planet because it upgrades quicker than any planet in the         game.
        Class O--your money maker.
        Class H--your defensive/offensive assault planet.

        Try to upgrade at least 1 of each of these planets first or second day of the game.

• Keep you qcannons turned down low. After they loose so much ore, the cannons will dampen and your cannon will not fire. I like to keep mine at around 5% sector level, 7% atmospheric level.
• Don't leave trails of fighters down the tunnel of your sector. It's like leading someone to right where you are. (see MISCELLANEA:DEPLOYED FIGHTERS)
• Build lots of xBx ports! You'll need a large area for the ports. Build around 25-30 of them. If you have a good port regen, you'll be making hella money.
• If your port regen sucks, take your level 4 O out and ptrade at random ports. Get in a 2 turn per warp ship and tag xBx ports with good percentages. Try to keep them close to each other to make sure you don't waste too much ore.
• Do not sell ore on ptrading runs! You need ore to drive your planets! You never can have too much ore.
• To check for one ways, put the mouth of your prospective sector on your avoids, then try to plot a course to the dead end of the sector. If it says you cannot plot a course you most likely don't have any one ways. Use your course plotter to check from a few locations tho.
• Keep your exp under 1,000 as long as possible. You want to be able to sit safely in fed space. To loose half your experience without dying, go to the underground. (see MISCELLANEOUS: LOOSING 1/2 EXP W/O DYING)
