I Merely want this to act as a quick guide to new players,and if i get enough responses made into a sticky,many new players oft complain about the learning curve thus by reading this they may gain snippets of important info,and figure out the rest themselves rather than reading through reams of text on particular topics.

just consider this a hint guide

Do not allow your stations to overlap (even a little) when creating a complex. if two of them rub shoulders, eventually their shields will drop and they'll be toasted. Particularly annoying when they're part of a megaplex and the resulting explosion takes out all the complex construction kits.

Always store some spare energy cells in your cargo hold... never let yourself get caught without plenty to jump out of harms way or into the fray...

Never do anything without having a plan A - and always have plans B, C and D just in case (especially true if you're playing a DiD game

).

tiny edit: forgot to mention, plan D is pretty much always the "ok, all our plans have failed, let's improvise with what we have!" kind of plan

Don't bother with plans. All plans fall apart at first contact with the enemy.

Pressing "K" while in the Universe map will select sector (0,0) (top left) - Kingdom End

Map your Jump key combination to a single key, like the one with the ~ symbol (tilde, to the left of 1).

Always map a sector completely before leaving it no matter how unimportant it first seems.

Also, use the in game encyclopedia often. its a very good way to find the known buying and selling locations for wares that you will need or want at some point. that way when you think, where can i buy one of those, you can just open it up and see every where that you already knew about but just forgot.

Don't afraid to set yourself big, long term goals. It's good to have something to aim for whether literally or metaphorically, always.
