1. Easy way to make money enter the Frontier competitions, the pirates never attack more than about 2 at a time. Earned over 50k from the last competition and it hardly even dented my shields.

2. Take out any weapons platforms powerplants or Guns before they start shooting at you.

3. With the Bora campaign make sure you take Nick the Bora man the one in the Mace with you when you try to convince the station that is about to desert the Bora.

4. When targeting capital ships use the ';' key to cycle through the subsystems and try to take out the weapons powerplant first.

5. You cannot buy another ship until you have enough money to afford the new ship, in other words you can't sell your current ship first. The game does not like you to be ship-less.

6. Use the '9' key to automatically follow the targets speed.

7. When docking or landing on a pad. Make sure you can see the green flashing arrows either on the landing pad or in the hole in the side of the ship. If you cannot see the green arrows in the ship the try rotating 180 degrees. Also try pressing the F2 key and rotate the view round to see how far away you are from the pad/hole in side.

8. 8. Best Galspan ship is a difficult one, as I liked the Phoenix Bomber plus boosters as then you get the best of both world's tough ship plus speed. Archangel always seemed a bit flimsy to me.

9. If you get into trouble try burning your way out of trouble then quickly press the F9 key and then the 1 key quickly to get your wingman to take out the target.
