1. Once you have created an account and logged in the first thing you will see is your home planet lading page.
You can navigate around these options with your mouse and have a browse or adjust video/sound settings to your desire.

2. The first thing any aspiring space explorer needs is a space ship. So click on "Hanger"

3. You will notice you don't have a ship but under the heading Hanger you have Credits. (top centre of screen)
This is your money to purchase a ship and kit it out with some attachments.

4. Click the top left button "Market" then on the right hand side you will see a list of ships and a list of ship plans. Because
you have just started you will be limited in what you can buy due to your experience level and your amount of credits.

5. Pick a ship you desire then at the top right of the screen click "buy".

6. Now at the top left of the screen click "inventory". Here you will see your ship. Equip it by clicking "Equip" in the bottom
middle of the page however I think from memory your first ship auto equips anyway. This just means its ready to launch but
you still need to add Equipment like Jump Drives, Guns or Cargo Pods to make your ship worth using.

7. Depending if you want to hunt NPC's to start or just trade between planets depends on what you buy as your Equipment called "Misc" pods. On
the left hand side of the screen you have the option of selection Ships, Missiles, Guns, Misc or Skins.

8. For the ease of this guide we will assume you are going to start trading to build up some money. So click "Misc" and if you see nothing there
its because you have selected "Inventory".....You must select "Market" to see what is available to purchase.

9. Because we are going to start by trading we will buy 1-2 Jump Drives to increase the jump speed of our ship and maybe 1-2 Cargo Pods for
expanding the amount of cargo we can hold in our ships hull.

10. Once these have been purchased click "Inventory" at the top left again and you will now see on the right the pods you have purchased. Now
Click on each one and click "Equip" in the bottom middle to equip them individually.

11. Now we are ready to grab some cargo/goods and launch.

12. Select "Exit" the red button on the bottom right of the screen to exit back to the planet landing page.

13. Now select "Trade" then select "Market" button and you will enter the goods market for this planet.

14. Because we don't know the other planets buy and sell prices we can either buy the cheapest one and take a risk or write them down or
screen-shot them before moving to the next planet to see what is a good price to start trading.

15. If you have not bought anything because you want to check the prices on other planets first skip the next step.

16. So now we know which is a cheap one to buy select it and buy as much as you can by clicking "Buy" or "Fill Cargo" (Buying will give
you 100 lots or filling cargo will buy as much as you can afford/will fit in your cargo pods).

17. Ok now we will launch for the first time and head to another planet :D

18. Click "Exit" again bottom right then you will be back on the planet landing page. Now click "Launch" in the middle centre.

19. Now you should see space for the first time :D

20. On the right hand side you will see a Power bar. Click the white part and drag the power bar up.
Once you have done this you will see your Engine start running and your jump drive start going up.

21. Once your Engine goes all the way up it will change to "Jump Ready". Click that and you will see the map of the Gen Zone (New player zone).
***Note YES you can pvp and get pvped in this area*** so beware!

22. Now click the "node" white circle next to you to move to the next node/sector. This is how you navigate through the solar system.
You can scan for players on this screen too by typing their names or NPC/Bot names into the search bar.

23. Head for either Gen Irium, Gen Pelien or Gen Grayl depending where you start. Just head to one that isn't where you started.

24. You may encounter NPC/Bots. Don't engage them until you have guns and your shield is up but at the moment ignore them as we are trading for
Money to buy guns/hull/shields.

25. Once you have jumped a node you wait for your engine to go up again and repeat. You will notice a transperent pilot head symbol on the right hand
side of the screen. Click that if you wish to chat to players far and wide.

26. Once you have reached your destination land on the planet simply by clicking on the planet itself.

27. Now you are at the landing page of a new planet. Well done. Now go to "Trade" then "Market" then sell your goods or write down the cheap ones and carry on trading.

This is a basic guide to help new players get started and make some money. It is just a quick guide and I hope it helps someone.
