How to trade commodities to become rich.
Trading is the strategy most players begin with.
You locate an Ore port and a Goods port in sectors next to
each other.
Trade back and forth (using warp moves) until either you can
afford a hull upgrade or the port's prices are no longer
very good. Repeat often, and upgrade whenever you can.
When you're engines are large enough to real space move
(this varies on the galaxy size in each game, usually
anywhere from 14 to 18) between two well stocked ports start
trading using real space moves instead of warps. (Be sure to
buy a Fuel Scoop before you real space trade.)
Be sure to have the maximum amount of Emergency Warp
Devices and an Escape Pod at all times to ensure survival.
Focus on upgrading your Hull, Energy, and Engines.
Everything else is good for combat or colonizing. Your
military technologies can be zero as the Emergency Warp
Devices are your primary means of survival.
Trading allows for a quick rise in score, and allows players
late to the game to catch up. However, the lack of planets
virtually ensures that you will lose in the long run.
