When the game starts, you find yourself in space in your Mercury freighter. The first thing we want to do is to get into our discoverer. We can do this in space, but I decided to dock to change ship.
We also order our Discoverer to go to the same place.
Once we get there we switch ship
Our universe map doesn’t look like much yet, time to do some scouting.
I start journey going through the south gate, since I know there’s a shipyard in Argon Prime From playing TC. Once I’ve found the shipyard I order my Mercury there to wait for me to finish scouting. I proceed to scout out the surrounding sectors with my Discoverer. Takes some time, but will save time later.
After scouting for a while, I realized I should’ve upgraded my scanner, A duplex scanner would’ve helped.
When done scouting my universe map looks like this.
I figured this will do for a while.
Now we move to the shipyard And sell our Discoverer.
We now have 45K. I decided to spend some of it on upgrades and save most of it for trading.
I spend about 9K on trading system extension, a better scanner and engine and rudder upgrades.
It’s now time to start trading.
