yeah I quit I cant even splode w/o getting wtfpwned
I know, the start is fecking confusing. I made the first couple of mission (3 I think), then craped on it and started my trading career.
My tip to get your first million. Buy energy cells in the sector west of argon prime, sell in argon prime. Then start buying ore and silicon in orebelt or imperial mines and sell it it Cloudbase SO/Paranid Prime. It´s a grind, but after a few hours you´ll get the hang of it.
The game´s greatest feature is at the same time the game´s biggest handicap. The sheer sandbox gameplay. Thing is, there is no thing you NEED to do next. It´s all what you WANT to do next. I sunk around 180 hours into it and still got times where I just sit in front of my screen clueless, doing nothing.
But after a while I scout new locations, build up more complexes to further my goal of total galaxy domination etc.

alright.... im up to 500k now by just buying for cheap, and selling for a lot elsewhere... what type of factory/station/whatever the fuck should i get first?
sisco should get xfire so i can spam him for help while i play
Well, I started with a wheat farm in Herrons Nebula. In General, the tier 1 food factories are a good start for you empire. I´m just afraid 500k won´t get you all the way there. A factory plus hired TL transport, at least one TS transport with commercial agent expansion, full shielding and starting money for the factory itself (at least 100k) will bring you to around a million.
You can of course buy the factory first (think a wheat farm is around 380k) and start buying energy cells and selling wheat (lol) yourself until you can afford a freighter.
Boron food factories (BoGas and Bofu) run good in argon territory too.
I might consider getting xfire, but I suck at being online in those things.
edit says you can do as finny said too, but put the sector trader into imperial border, levels up in a heartbeat there.
