EVERY HOUR: Pick Through Space Debris. Free money and items.
EVERY DAY: Slot Machines. You will always walk away with more than you started with (I usually start with about $200).
RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH! This is your best friend. Do it as often as you can. Don't let one stat overpower the other two, at least when you’re starting out. As you play the game more, and refine the way that you want to personally play the game, that may change. Waiting until Energy and Research are BOTH at 100% yields the best results. Time your research with your level; don't level too fast without researching, as this will hurt later down the road. It is also productive to use Mining as a goal for yourself, to keep your stats evened out (select mining areas with the same stat requirement across the board). Mining requirements use your base stats as shown on the "Research" page, not your modified stats with installed items. Plus, mining is free money!
NEVER leave your money out in your cargo bay. When you have gained cargo, immediately deposit it into Galactic Credit. If you need to take out large sums of money (anything over 20K), deposit all of your money and suicide on an offline player that is a much higher level than you so that you are put into the shipyard. This way, no one can raid you or attack you and steal your money. You can withdraw money, upgrade your ship, and buy items from the market while in the shipyard. DO NOT suicide on an online player, unless you have made arrangements with them, as this would constitute an online attack.
Item Market: Do not put items in the Item Market if you are not a Notorious Player. The transaction money will go to your cargo, and the buyer will attack or raid you. If you are online, and fast enough, this may not be an issue. If you are not Notorious, you can sell your items to a Zhong Xiao for your asking price, or arrange to give the item to a Notorious member of the Fleet and have them pay you when the item sells.
If you have a high-priced item and wish to sell it without a middle man, use the game forums to set up an auction. Remember to be cautious, and make arrangements so that you do not end up giving a person the item without getting paid, or get paid without sending the item to the buyer.
Salvage Forays: These are not worth as much as they say. Your Fuel is better spent exploring the Asteroid Belt (you can access this by clicking on "Space" in the left menu). The Asteroid Belts will almost always give you both XP and $$, and occasionally items. When you reach level 25, you can go to the Lower Belt and explore the Deep Asteroid Belt. WELL WORTH IT. Your hull points need to be at least 25% to explore asteroid belts.
Adrift in Space: Saving people from space, if successful, is money and XP in exchange for fuel. However, your engines need to be up to par to increase your chances.
Search: This is the best way to gain fast XP. Your energy must be over 23% and your hull points above 25% to attack another player.
Stock Market: This can be an excellent way to make money fast. Talk to senior members of the fleet for more information on capitalizing on this.
Questions: Feel free to ask questions! The Fleet leaders especially are here to help, but our members are usually very helpful.
