Pro Tips

💡 Resource Management

Always keep fuel reserves for emergency escapes. Metal and Crystal are essential for ship repairs and upgrades. Don't carry more resources than you can protect.

⚡ Ship Selection

Scout ships are fast but fragile - perfect for exploration. Fighter ships balance speed and firepower. Miner ships are slow but can carry heavy loads and extract resources efficiently.

🎯 Combat Tactics

Position your ships strategically before engaging. Use scout ships to detect enemies first, then send in fighters. Always keep some ships in reserve for reinforcements.

🌌 Exploration Strategy

Start with well-known systems to build resources and experience. Use the galaxy map to plan efficient routes. Always scan for anomalies - they often hide valuable rewards.

🔧 Ship Upgrades

Prioritize engine upgrades for better fuel efficiency and speed. Upgrade shields before weapons - survival is more important than firepower. Research scanner upgrades to find better resources.
