Economic Strategy 2

Economic Strategy 2
Recommended for Beginners->Amateurs. Not recommended and not particularly useful once you've reached your first promotion.

For very basic players only (not recommended unless desperate for very very quick ship) 1. Sell the cannon computer and cannon modules, this makes you a couple dozen k credits. If you want to get a couple 100k early game you don't need a weaponized ship but a miner. 2. With the newly acquired credits, acquire more salvage cannons, power reactors, thrusters, and make a basic salvage ship that burns through blocks quickly. 3. Mine your first 1-2 asteroids, either all of it or just the good parts. 4. Sell everything you get from it, refining will come later. 5. You are now 100k richer depending on how much you mined. (optional: upgrade your salvage ship and repeat steps 3 to 5) 6. Acquire jump drive computer and some modules for it, install on ship. 7. Acquire refineries, like 10 should do since they are pretty cheap. Also take some extra power reactors/capacitors, a faction block if you want, and some storage blocks. 8. Go to galaxy screen, look for the nearest planet, jump drive to it (claim it if you have bought a faction block). 9. Place faction block, power reactors, refineries, and you have your first base. 10. Mine some more. 11. Place ores/crystals or whatever is refinable (the base asteroids mats as well in most cases) into refineries, afk for 10-15 mins, return, take the capsules. 12. Warp back to shop, sell capsules (max stock is 50k so you won't be able to sell everything you refined) and become 1mil credits richer.

Note about selling capsules: Selling crystals and capsules not always recommended since they are much harder to come by. Check areas to see the regular ones and mine those.

The more shops you've discovered the more you can make until they are max stocked.
