I'm sure they will answer most, if not all, of your questions on how to get started.

If you want a decent name for the pilot start the sector trader off in an Argon sector. Then stop it & send it to Empire's Edge, or where you want to trane it. This will give your pilot an Argon name, which, IMHO, is easier to remember.

The differences are the only the shields for TS class ships, for fighter it also means a difference in weaponary. :wink: You will also discover the there are different class', You can have the normal class ships then Vanguard, Sentinel & Raider. (Not sure of the order) each is different in cargo spa...

I'm afraid not. That use of the jumpdrive is only used by UTs in the AIs controll. You could tell them yourself but, as you say, it's hard to fight & watch over your fleet.

No Prob Mad Jock McMad, That's what we at FACTS do!

Time to buy a new motherboard & case CBJ.
