Very early game help for nubs (hint)**semi-spoiler*

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Very early game help for nubs (hint)**semi-spoiler*

For those people who are either restarting your game, and are thinking about getting a rhino, here is a helpful hint that i came across accidently. After the flagship has been destroyed, and King tells you that you are going to pitsburg, rogues attack. When those rogues are destroyed he tells you to dock quickly. As you are leaving more rogues come. You can A: Run like a baby, or B: Stay and kill them. I chose the latter. I killed about 6 or so rogues. When I finally docked and got to pittsburgh, King gives me a different message saying "Well isn't it our conquering hero. You killed a rogue that had a bounty on his head, I will add that to your reward." After selling all of the stuff i got, i had enough money to buy a rhino on pitsburg, and had it for the next mission

I live in the tiny shadow of the thing they call your brain.

I thought it strange that you get a reward for acting against direct orders and leaving the convoy with only half-strength protection ... The loot you can pick up from the six Rogues is even more than the bounty, so you have a nice wad of cash when you are in Pittsburgh for the first time.

However, I do not think it is enough to buy the Rhino and fill its hold with more cargo than the Starflier would hold, so it makes more sense to complete mission 1 in the Starflier. It is more fun that way because the Starflier is an excellent fighter (second best after Patriot, on par with Drake) but the Rhino obviously isn't. A fully decked-out Rhino can be fun as a fighter because it packs a good punch but the weapons cost a bit - either money (in the shop) or time (if you mine your weapons).
