Getting started
Hunt Drifters on your X-1 map, pick up the yellow bonus boxes and mine ore. Sell ore at your home station (Trade). Spend credits in the Shop and fit your ship in the Hangar. Level 8 unlocks the contested 4-X sectors, level 12 unlocks 4-4.
Drones (Shop → Drones) fly around your ship and carry extra lasers or shields, up to 8. Fit them in the Hangar.
Your home station protects you: enemies inside the safe zone get shot by its turrets. Portals grant a few seconds of jump protection.
