Can someone post here something such as a quick-start guide for this game?

:help:

I tried playing this a few times a few months back and quickly gave up because I couldn't accomplish anything. Something outlining one possible approach to the first 10-20 minutes of gameplay would be much appreciated.

Firstly go to Mercury or one of the lunes of Jupiter and mine it. By mine, i am talking of send the lander to the planet and pick up minerals. You can do this by moving into the planet, making a complete scan, presing enter to launch lander and when the red bar is full or near to full, press esc to beam up. Some hints for this opperation that is the key of the game: 1 check out that the teutonic and weather level are low, too high means that are lightings and earquates so dont land until get the modifications for the lander. 2 check out temperature, over 300 degree is also too risky. 3 the bio scan will report the presence of wild creatures that can be dangerous but usefull prizes in near future. 4 the energy scan will report structures or items vital to win the game.
Move to the earth and make in the station orbiting it. Here you will be informed about the situation. And you will have to fight an Ilwrath Avenger, that is one of the most dangerous ships in game but cuz the lacking of cloaking device in this one and crew reduce to half it will be and easy win. You should check the keys for combat before load the game, you also can practice in melee moode. I can give you future help but it will be some kind of spoiler so check how it comes if you need something more, let me know
