Havent collected cards since OG Pokemon when I was 9-12 years old. I kept them in a cheap plastic sleeve that could sit in a three ring binder. Is that still the go-to for normal cards, or is their heavier duty items used now aside from official graded boxes?

Not sure if it is a normal mission or not, but I only have 6 or 7 ships total, all small and medium.

I got a mission from Terran to board a Teladi vessel because they didn't want the faction to get it delivered to them. It paid 1 mill and boarding is required, which ive never done but wanted to give it a go.

So i stocked up on 4 marines (so few I know) and set out.

I shot at it to weaken it and it started to fly a way, as well as flagging me and getting 3 Terran ships on my ass. I managed to escape them and pursue the ship and then recalled something from training... target the engines. Did that, then remembered I could shift+2 local scan and target individual modules, turrets first, then shields.

Launch marines

OMG it took almost two fucking hours and I did not even know if what I was doing was correct. The engines got repaired a couple times before I realized two drones were repairing them... lost two more rep for taking those out.

After those two hours, I got paid, and the ship turned green.... what? To my surprise, I now owned a broken ass Crane E. It took a light year it seemed to get it to the Terran warf... oh wait, too big. I mean the Terran shipyard at the moon, oh wait, I cant dock there (access level, reputation limit?).

Okay Terran Equipment yard in Jupiter, two repair drones, and 800k later, she is fly worthy.

I have 30 hours in game and just now finished the teleport mission along with aquiring two small magpie vanguards, and still have my kestral for myself.

I know the game is a sandbox but i am struggling on what to do next and where.

Should i trade for a bit?

How do i expand my phq further?

Can I automate a trade route instead of manually clicking the ship each time, what to trade, and amount?

Can I start building an economy, buy tons of ships and start taking over the stations in my PHQ sector?

Can I cause the terrans to go to war, and have them actually send troops?

Started game and did the basic tutorials and then loaded "Cradle of Humanity - Terran Cadet".

After about 4 hours of play and doing a couple of the intermediate tutorials, I restarted the Universe. I also struggled initially with a keyboard/controller combo but have been running full keyboard on reset.

I also seem to be getting different missions this time around, not sure if this is intended. Like on mars when you investigate the destroyed ship, I got a different mission (or seemed to) after the two enemies escape in first game, versus killing them in second game.

It took me 8 hours to get energy cells for my station in the grand exchange when you get sucked into that portal (or whatever it is that happened, please no spoilers). I flew around and around, jumping highways, and jumping gates, before I found a solar station and bought some energy cells so that I could build the first dock.

When i got back to my station, it seemed that it now had energy cells and I am not sure how. When i bought, I thought they were loaded into my inventory of my ship?

I also do not know where my initial ship is, versus the new one they gave me, and do not know how to utilize the captain? that is on it. (Kestral vs Kukuri)
