 Where do you find your new ship? Same as with advanced upgrades, you can try military bases, star fortresses, factories, or commerce centers. In addition, military capital ships or Trantor class planets might have stock. Although they are not always available you may try checking back from time to time on stock replenishment.

 Piloting a light fighter is generally seen as much more fun than piloting a cap ship. Try the Rlaan [[Vessel:Taizong|Taizong]] or the Confed [[Vessel:Dostoevsky|Dostoevsky]].
-At the furthest extreme, there is nothing more agile than a [[Vessel:Dostoevsky|Dostoevsky]] (and the "Dosto" has it's loyal following).

 I usually use a heavy interceptor for anything smaller than a Goddard. [[Vessel:Lancelot|Lancelot]] has a very good top speed, but cannot accelerate or corner nearly as fast as many other fighters.

 Some useful keys (Shift+KEY reverses the cycling direction):
 * "T" targets just everything
-* "N" circles through "natural" targets, like planets, jump points. That ships got selcted as well is not the way it should be and a bug I think.

 * "K" cycles friendly ships, Shift+K gets nearest station, Ctrl+K gets nearest planet, Alt+K gets nearest jump point
 * "P" is also quite useful, since it targets the item that is closest to your target cross, so you can "aim" at the target you want to select and then hit "P". Also selects a target for your turret.

 Is easy once you analyze the wants and needs of the system you are in. Try loading one item of everything you think that might be needed where you are going to trade. Make a list of all the merchandise you can buy and what it costs. Load a small amount of anything you think might sell at a station or mining base. Everyone needs food, that's a start. Go there sell your items and record your profit for each item. Selling lots of minor profit items balances selling just a few high profit items. Don't trust your instincts, research. Beyond that: never fly empty, three or four cornered trade pays better than there and back. Buy low, sell high, upgrade only when you have to.
-An an example would be buying something from the Oceanic planet in Cephid 17, and selling it to Serenity Mining Base. Here's what you can do for a start: Buy as much seafood as possible then fly to Serenity. I often get around $138 while it's only cost me about $50.

 On Serenity buy as much Tungsten as you can then go for Iron Ore. Nickel can be pretty good sometimes. Return to the Oceanic planet, then repeat. Also take mining equipment to Serenity. Incidentally, buy much of your starting gear like Jump Drives, Afterburners, and reactors at Serenity as it seems to be the cheapest. Make a few food runs to the military base as well. Don't purchase anything at the military base, instead make a quick trip back to the planet and do the whole food/mining gear thing and head back to Serenity.

 Cloaking devices are available from some Aera installations, especially fighter barracks and star fortresses. The Confed version of the cloak shows up for sale at Research Stations once in a blue moon. They are rare.
 I docked an Unadorned Ox and found a cloaking device (under "Experimental"), so I bought it. I have it equipped to my Uber-Llama.
