first off my question...For the first objective I need to get 15 electrical units, but I mustve entered the nearby station like 30 times and still no electrical units...anyone know how I can get them?

Also, I found out that I could hold the tractor beam button down while the store screen was online. So, I went down to the nearby planet...I think it's called sapphire, and held down the beam button with the store prompt up. In real time I was collecting atmosphereic units to sell right away with the click of a button. After a while I had built up a million credits no problem.

Was this intentional?

Yes, search for a planet with a technology economy and focus your search at the nearby stations and the planet itself.

A long while to get a million credits... Press alt-B to lock the tractor beam on and save your finger. It'll stay on until you press B again.

forgive me if this is a stupid question. I'm still a evochron noob. But how do I run a search for planets with tech. economies?

thanks

****spoiler alert - how to get the 15 electrical units ****

There's usually many ways of accomplishing things in this game, same goes with getting the electrical units. Vice mentioned finding a planet with technology and you asked how to do this, well, you could look at the game guide for Evochron Renegades to see which systems are technology-oriented. The guide seems to greatly apply to Evochron Legends as well.

You also might try accepting trade requests, sometimes they are offering electrical units. Or, you might equip your ship with a cargo scanner and see if you can find a ship carrying electrical units and offer them some cash and see if it results in your buying those electrical units. Or, if you want to get sneaky about it, accept a contract to take something to a ship, and if appears in your cargo bay as 15 or more electrical units, run off with the cargo to find the next beacon.

There's probably other ways, but that's some ideas.

The economy type is listed after the planet's name. More details from the instructions:

Each planet and local economy can specialize in a particular industry. There are 5 sub categories and a general category. A general economy planet has a market structure that typically includes many different types of commodities and pricing is largely based on the overall economic conditions of the system. An agricultural economy creates an abundance of food, so the prices are generally very low for that commodity. An industrial economy will often pay a premium for raw metal ore and provide low prices for machined components. A technology economy will usually pay very little for electronic equipment, since they create most of what they need themselves, but will pay high prices for materials needed to produce them, including diamonds and platinum. A bio-research economy can be a good place to buy meds at low prices, then sell in other economies for profit. An energy economy can be a good place to buy hydrogen cells, solar cells, anti-matter cells, and fusion cells at low prices. The type of economy for each planet will be displayed after its name on the nav map, G is for a general economy, A for agricultural, I for industrial, T for technology, B for bio-research, and E for energy.
