Hi. New here. Does anyone know where to go at level 5, SP campaign? I previously got up to level 9 and hard to start over because I was getting my rearend whopped by Outcast in the Leeds system. But when I DID manage to beat them, I had to spend 3/4's of the credits I got for the missions rebuying nanobots and batteries. They seem to diminish by 3s and 4s with every use, and with only room for 14 of each, it's getting a bit taxing. So in all, I ended up only making 1-1.5k credits per mission.

So now back to my level 5'er. I just got through with that heavy battle at Willard Research Station. 13k Creds in the bank.

My Lvl 5 setup:

Defender (Heavy Fighter)
Guarding H.F. Shields
Javelin Missle
2 Drails
Lavablade Gun I
Lavablade Turret II
CounterMeasure
Drone Mine

btw, last time I wasn't so well equipped (had a Startracker) even at level 9, but, I can already sense the the battery draining battles taking form. I've only been in the New York and California solar systems. Are there any others at my level I should know about? Trading and what-have-you?

Just for fun, I attacked and destroyed a DSE transport (seeing that it had 49999 scrap metal on it and thinking that would be a pretty penny right there) right next to the Magellan Jump Gate and the gate started attacking me. Is that normally supposed to happen and was I supposed to get more than the only 9 pieces of scrap metal I got after destroying the transport?


Alot o question hey? Thanks
