This game owns and I keep losing because I insist on playing it with permadeath, but eventually I’ll get good.

People mentioned stiff salute and it’s really good, but early on if you keep a crew slot empty you have a chance of getting a stowaway event that lets you recruit a smuggler. Now a high level smuggler talent is one that lets you get out of any type of ship combat at the cost of one item in your cargo hold. So if you’re carrying various stacks of 1 item (biomass, scrap, wheat) then you have a good chance of not throwing anything valuable.

It doesn't help that the only way to get the meta-progression is to play on hard difficulty because the game doesn't register achievements in anything below that. And hard is ironman, which is a very punishing way to play for a new player just trying to unlock the bigger trade ship.
