What a huge summary, thank you.

Can a mod please make this thread a sicky? It is very, very helpful.


Question for ya!

a) Do all NPC vendor's buy items at the same price, or are some better than others?

b) I don't seem to be earning energy credits from missions, battles, etc. Is the only way to earn these through selling items?

Any additional info on making money, how credits are best earned and spent, etc, would be great. My wife and I are very confused on this front.

All I can say is Wow! Your excellent post should be at the top of the forums. It's that good.

I think all the ones I have seen by at the same price. I haven't confirmed that though.

And yeah, only way to make credits is to sell stuff.

My only tip to new starship captains is:
Come back in 6 month ...

Thanks for getting this back together, Trace.

It stinks that they wiped all of the info on the Academy boards. It's not like much changed between last week and now.

It's even funnier that the kept the CB boards archived.

Hmmm...we should check on the NPC merchant rates. I think I've seen some offer more for the same item than others. Time to investigate!

How do Equalize Shields and Power to Shields work? Do they manipulate existing HP or do they manipulate current shield regeneration? Moving HP from one shield to the others for the former and transferring regeneration to another facing for the latter?

It wasn't wiped, just archived. If you still have a link to a post from the OB Academy, it'll take you to the archive board now, which is hidden. That's how I got all this back

How do you equip one of a stacked inventory item ?
Example: 3 Hypos in inventory and I want to give each BO 1.
