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!

GUESS WHO!!! Yeah, heres some tips.
1. Dont try an smuggle Cardamine in a Starflier
2. Get the Dagger, its the best starting ship
3. Use Engien Kill as soon as you can, itll have your life
4. Know your opponents
5. Upgrade your thruster whenever you can
6. Learn all the hotkeys, like E for Mines, C for countermesure ect
7. Wait until your weapons are in optimum range before shooting
8. Bounty Hunters arnet your freinds
9. Co ordinate your weapons, so your right isnt different to your left
10. Sometimes runningis the only viable option

There the only ones I can think of now, anyone else got any?

Bein an Outcast is about doin things you wanna do: Kill, Terrorise, Murder, Destroy, Smoke Cardamine, ya know, normal stuff.....

hi bounty killer adjust the sensibily of the mouse so that your able to spin around enemies with lillte mouse movement, because if you run out of space to move the mouse and you dare to look at it for one sec...m8 probably your dead after it. either choose to use only energy weapons or try to use missiles as well, personaly i dont think they do much...but thats my opinion, if you use only energy weapons you may take awhile to kill the guy, but if you KNOW how to use missiles you may kill him in a few secs....oh, if your out of nanos and shields, ur ship is all busted up and your afraid to die....turn on the cruise velocity and spin around a lill, enemies shouldnt hit, and juni etc can clean the house oh, and dont get used to the space bar, in the begining it seems to help you out, but it will give you quite a headache if you dont loose that habit...i knowbetter use only the mouse, if you want to get the ship in the right angle press 2 times space and nothing more...my opiniton anyway....and watch with autopilot!! sometimes it will take you to planets atmopheres...others will smash you right into tradelanes others it will make you dock with a transport(or stuck in this case) etc etc.... cant think of anything more... hope that helps!

to kill or to be killed...if it lives, kill it...if it stands, level it to da ground...if in doubt?WIPE IT OUT!

-man that is awesome!beautifull!! P-R-E-T-T-Y!!!! how do i blow it??!!

Hey bounty.....make sure that the PIRATES are your friends and have weapons that use little energy but do maximum damage.

When you've gotta go, you've gotta go

I keep the Corsairs and Outcasts on good terms and most corporations neutral. You want to make money running say, Diamonds to New Tokyo, you better not be in the red with Samura or Kishiro or you won't be allowed to dock.

I will now launch the Noob Guide to solve the problem...

>run noobg.exe

The NOOB Guide:

1.Mix weapons to get maximum power. Buy weapons powerful against Shields and Hulls and mix them.
2.When smuggling bad stuff, stay away from any kind of settlement or patrols and stick mainly to jumpholes. Use jumpgates only when you have to.
3.In early gameplay, use the trade route of "Man to Pitts". Buy as much Medicene at Manhattan and ship to Pittsbugh. Sell the goods and buy as much Boron as you can. Ship back to Manhattan. Sell. Repeat.

This is only a sample of the NOOB Guide. Full versuon will be complete soon.
