That'll teach you to be a stow away.

There's an AutoTrade function, but you need a pilot to be level 3 to do it.

Level 3 to start sector trading?

would be awesome if you could figure out how to make a living as a space hobo. Are there lockers and stuff full of personal inventory items you can loot and sell on stations until you could afford a ship?

He just needs to keep hitching rides from random NPC ships till he gets a ride back to where his ship is docked.

I do not see what the problem is with this emergent gameplay.

I guess "revisit known stations" is going to be the sector trader equivalent?

I think that might be rather than dropping satellites everywhere you can set someone to keep you up to date by revisiting stations. I think you can actually just tell them to sector trade as a right click command when selected, here:



The commands are actually very comprehensive from the looks of it, you just need to know where they are, there's just a shitload of buttons.

I would not expect to see a massive overhaul of the tutorial down the road. None of the X games have been particularly well fleshed out, either at release or afterwards, when it comes to giving you a detailed tutorial. The only reason to wait would be in the hopes of someone writing a community guide or tutorial.

Go into the map, select the ship you want to sell, then right click on a shipyard/wharf.

Rebirth greatly overhauled boarding and I don't know how they've implemented it in this one, but you didn't need to train marines so much in Rebirth because you whittled down the enemy boarding strength by disabling the ship. Or rather you trained them by boarding poo poo, and it was kinda fun to just steal every loving thing not nailed down and flog it to fund more marines.

No keeping them in a station for hours I don't think.

Shoot them at it?

Or are they turreted?

E: For best results, turn on your scan mode and shoot the red bits of the rock, immediately chips off chunks of valuable ore.

Are you able to deploy this station anywhere you like, or does it get created in a specific place based on your start?

I suspect given the nature of the station it might be movable once you get it up and running.

Oh my god this game is so loving frustrating.
My enjoyment would go up approximately 1000% if the map was usable. As it is right now it is completely covered by huge "menus" or something for each station in the system. I need to zoom in really really far to be able to see anything. Please tell me there is a way to disable these things?

Also I picked up some contraband after killing pirates but I can't find any way to dump/eject them because they are crafting ingredients so they don't count as cargo but the police scan detects them and they yell at me to dump my contraband and get angry.
Some tutorials are very broken, the 3rd and 4th ones I had to re-load the game to be able to proceed. The 3rd didn't spawn the signal source the first time and for the 4th one the game never spawned a trader inside the station.

The game also randomly activates missions that you have inactivated making your target switch and the autopilot is completely hosed, my ship just drifts to the right when activating it, it never goes towards my selected target.

In the map, hit "filter settings", and then with "trade filters" selected, hit the power button on the left of the window to turn off the pricing menus.
