Hi, I'm brand new to the Full Version of the game, I know this is going to sound really lame and stupid to you guys who have been playing this game for a long time. Issue: I cannot get past Level 1, I have more than enough credits, I have done 17 missions, 47 kills, and still it wil not let me advance to level 2, and it will not let me go thru any Jump Gates, to either California, Texas, or Colorado systems. The Jump Gates say "access denied", only I assume because I am still at Level 1. It driving me crazy, I want to advance in the game like anyone else. Help!! Any ideas would be very much appreciated. Thanks, Alpha1.
