Is strafe that important?, or I can use the hat for more buttons.

Also a quick newbie question, my starting role is not that important right?, I can change to another role, ship frame later?

Im just starting but very excited about it

Hello,

I used the the Hat for the views and keyboard for strafe.

You can play however you want, make the credits to buy upgrades to both your ship and its frame.

You will need to increase your ranking to buy some ships, but this is your personal ranking not against other players.

The only caveat to think about when selecting a starting profile is this: you can only begin the quest when flying a civilian craft. After the quest has begun, you can then swap to a military ship, if you have the reputation and credits.

Mostly in PvP or FFA. Against the AI, it's not nearly as important unless you're up against a capital ship.
