You might be tempted to get a hull that has more armor, but through most of the game what really counts is hull space - especially because you can upgrade your armor level 1 hull to armor level 7 early on, and even an armor level 3 hull will be much more expensive and much smaller. The key early on is to realize that you don't have enough space for 5 weapons anyhow, and you don't have space for shields, so just get the largest hull that can hold 3 weapons and has a radar and gripper slot.

The weapon upgrades can also basically double your damage early on, so upgrading the weapons is important if you want to fight a lot.ДЄfter a while, you will want a new hull. The next most important upgrade is your droid - you have to get a droid that can repair signifigant damage during combat or eventually you will get smoked, especially early on when shields are worthless and armor ratings are generally low. Early on, this makes you nearly immune to lasers and missiles, and otherwise missiles will chew you up with ease. Upgrading the hull increases it armor rating by 5-6 points if you do the best technicians upgrade (which is the only one worth doing).

the most important upgrade is to upgrade your hull, however. At the science stations they can upgrade your weapons so they do more damage, and your shields so they block more, etc, etc, etc. Also, if you don't pay attention you will wake up and finally realize they are ually as someone is attacking you. The only problem with missiles early on is they run out, and they are sort of expensive to reload. As the enemy maneuvers around, he tends to get a big swarm of missiles following him just like in galaxy quest with the mines - then he suddenly gets hit by all of them at once this is important, because you can get a lot of missiles in the air headed for a target (fired from beyond the range of their cannons) before they realize they are in danger so by the time they try to retreat they are finished. More important, missiles take a little while to hit their target. Second, missiles have the highest overall damage potential of the weapons initially available, because each salvo fires three shots - this is great in the beginning when shields and armor are nonexistent, but later the individual damage potential of each missile will be too low to cause any damage at all to the more protected ships. First, later on a lot of ships have weapons that are very good at targetting swarms of missiles and destroying them. In the very beginning if you want to blow someone to kingdom come, you use missiles, plain and simple.

Then you will have some room for weapons and cargo, and can start upgrading to better, smaller weapons.ДЄs with defensive equipment, offensive equipment priorities are much different in the beginning. As for radar, it is IMPERATIVE you sell it off as soon as you find something as small as possible. I recommend skipping the droid until you can find a really small one though, too. Early in the game, armor matters much more, and a good droid matters the most if you will be fighting. When you combine this with heavy armor, you are basically untouchable by most ships. Later in the game you will be able to get shields that block up to 60% of all damage. Blocking 6% of all damage is completely, utterly useless. They are just too bulky and they do absolutely no good. So, the first thing I do is dump my shields. Early on the technology is far different than it is later in the game and your space is much more limited. Your upgrades have to be done sensibly, or you may as well just give up the game. Generally, almost anyone will leave you alone if you pay some small bribe to them, though, thankfully. If you are underarmed, then pirates will harass you mercilessly, too. Until you upgrade your ship quite a bit, you have zero chance to take out enemy vessels. Ok, that aside I will get to what you actually need to play the game successfully. Now, this sort of thing is not for everyone, but if one is too hard skipping it does not screw up your game much.

Some of the text adventures are also extremely difficult and would be near impossible to complete through trial and error, as well. Sometimes it is difficult to figure out what you are trying to do and so you screw up the first time you play or even a couple of times, but generally speaking the path to victory is through logic. Actually it is true - again, if you are a Fucking Idiot. Now, some people have said the text adventures are just trial and error. It has something called challenge to it - it is not like freelancer with its broken, ludicrous economy where you have as much money as most planets after playing for 3 hours. You actually need a bit of a brain to play this game and enjoy it. First off, if you are really an idiot, such as kingcomrade (We have hundreds of his own posts to back this up) then just give up now because it's hopeless.
