Also rando questions:

1) Is it pretty easy to run out of fuel?
2) I like bounty hunter runs, do they have easy ones that are completely single player?

1) Is it pretty easy to run out of fuel?

No. I never ran out of fuel, even when I went on a several thousand light year journey. The star classes that can be fuel-scooped are easy to remember ("KGB FOAM".) And you can configure the route planner to only find paths through these star classes.

2) I like bounty hunter runs, do they have easy ones that are completely single player?

Yes.

Thanks, Nikos, what a great................................... scoop!!

This all assumes you have a fuel scoop installed in your ship. If not, then it is relatively easy to run out of gas if you're not paying attention.

I have the default ship which I think is called the "Sidewinder"? I assume no scoop there. :(

[pinback]

No, but you can install one.

One thing to keep in mind when buying a new ship (once you have the money) is that you can permanently lose the new ship if you don't have enough insurance money if you get killed. So always make sure you can afford to fly a new ship.

One frustrating thing is that I will have a secondary weapon - missiles - and in the training missions I'll get told that the target's shields are offline. I will hit the missile button on my joystick and sometimes, most of the time, nothing happens. Do you guys know what causes this?

Broken joystick button?
