Who cares if it's an old thread, i have some do nots as well (and if people did bring back old threads it would probably help to stop certain subjects from beign debated over and over and over again *cough* multiplayer X *cough*)
DO NOT-
-Buy the system override software.
-Be in the same sector as one of your capital ships when you've told it to dock.
-Try to take on a Khaak M2 in a fighter.
-Expect to make a profit with a Lasertower factory.
-Drag up old threads when Colonelnj10 is about

Don't save in Farnham's Legend after you've just capped a beat up Falcon in your Buster when you know there are at least ten pirates in the sector surrounding both gates that are all looking to avenge their fallen matey. Esp. if you have no jumpdrive, only two APAC's, no missiles, and only partial engine tunings.
I did manage to get out with both the Buster and my prize intact. Took at least ten tries though. Didn't help that the Falcon could only go 30.

Unknown Objects
When you are taking onany force greater than your loan M3 can handle, so launch a few drones to assist, and when you got the drones set to attack my target, just remember that when you destory siad opposing force craft, they usaully drop a couple of missiles. Please also remember that your M3 targeting system will pick up the nearest avaible item it scans,
and also remember, a few microseconds before your shileds disappear and then your hull and then you, that those bloody drones don't wait for a confirm to fire.
I think i managed to say OH s.... just as i vapourised.

ok my turn:
Dont assume the randomly placed miniscule asteriods (the ones you can blow up that is) is actually smaller than the Mammoth you are flying, despite appearances and low yeild.... "oh look... a single lowly asteroid between me and that siezewell shipyard... oh good its a small one... i will just go thr"BOOM BOOM "oh bugger"
DO fly between 2 xenon M1's, while hanging off the strafe keys, and happily watch as one blows the other up... but...
DONT expect it to happen a second time
DONT sell your only other ship to the shipyard till AFTER you have checked that you have transfered all your cargo to the new ship, this includes that piece of invaluable hardware called Tractor Beam, which incidently happens to be the ONLY one remaining in game.
DONT leave you and your ship docked at a station with the game idling while reading 6 page threads on the forums.... at least... not if you havent saved in a while... damned random CTDs
DONT tow that silicon mine in front of a gate... better yet dont build any complexes near any gates..... "You have reached the Free Trading Lost and Found" "Yeah hi i cant find my silicon mine... it disappeared from in front of the east gate shortly after an M2 tried to come through....."
