Hi and more xD

Firstly: Hello!
I'm new and I have a few questions.

I played the demo last weekend and the full version just a couple of hours today so I'm at the very beginning of the game and haven't seen much of the universe and its secrets. I made my first millions today after I figured out how the market in this game works but equipment and especially new ship frames are quite expensive. What I need are some tips or better I need good trade routes. I started with mining some platinum and diamonds and sold them on a planet in south sapphire (economy type T planet). But I need more profit

Besides that I would like to know where I can buy the Hunter frame and the other high class frames. I visited Fauston, Tallson and Thuban so far (Thuban just for a short while and I was speeding because everyone wanted to kill me XD).

And I need to know something about the crew members. I hired a science obs. He had a good skill (guess something about 90, can't remember) and loyality was above 60 and on one station he just left. No warning or anything else. I noticed that after a few saves so I can't reload. Why did he leave me? I had enough money to pay him his wage + I always paid him +50 in order to raise his loyality.

Are the prices on the planets the same as on the stations infront of them? I would like to avoid landing on planets. It costs much fuel and time to start/land.

Is there anything on the planets except one city? I flew a bit on the planet but couldn't find anything execpt some weird looking "trees" xD

Furthermore I would like to have a complete map of every sector of every system. Is there something somewhere? I know it's kinda cheating but I just need it to find important spots like constructor stations and gates.

That's everything so far. Most of my questions were answered by the strategy guide. You should link it in the faq on the main page, because I needed some time before I found it/knew that something like this exist.

Please don't mind my grammar issues. English ain't my native language and obviously I'm not perfect in speaking it

But feel free to correct heavy errors - it's never too late to learn

Hello R3dBuLL, welcome to the forum and the Sim. I have been told I am a penny pincher also when it comes to paying crew. I have heard that you may need to pay a crew member double to triple the recommended rate. It is a good idea to save just before docking in case they jump ship (lol) as there are no guarantees until they are near the 100 % loyalty mark. You are just beginning so take your time and learn by mistake about how things are if need be. You can go into "MP" (on-line play) and most pilots on at the time will be glad to offer help and info if needed. We do at times give hints instead of straight answers as if helps you learn the Sim better. Good luck out there and hope to C U out there soon.

In systems with higher economies and technology. Many of those systems are more hostile, some are 'Fair'. Check the quadrant map for indicators on which systems are higher than others.

And I need to know something about the crew members. I hired a science obs. He had a good skill (guess something about 90, can't remember) and loyality was above 60 and on one station he just left. No warning or anything else. I noticed that after a few saves so I can't reload. Why did he leave me? I had enough money to pay him his wage + I always paid him +50 in order to raise his loyality.

60% loyalty still means he has more than a 1 in 3 chance of leaving your ship. Pay them better and limit their opportunities to leave your ship to increase their loyalty. Once they are near 100%, the chance they'll leave is very low.

Are the prices on the planets the same as on the stations infront of them? I would like to avoid landing on planets. It costs much fuel and time to start/land.

No, planets often pay more for certain items than stations. This helps offset the addition cost in fuel and time.

Is there anything on the planets except one city? I flew a bit on the planet but couldn't find anything execpt some weird looking "trees" xD

Several hidden things to find, you can mine, recover some material from those wierd looking trees, scoop water, recover some oxygen (helps offset your descent costs by the way), and dock at cities.

Furthermore I would like to have a complete map of every sector of every system. Is there something somewhere? I know it's kinda cheating but I just need it to find important spots like constructor stations and gates.

You can use the 'hitch-hikers' guide referred to in the related thread. While it isn't fully compatible with Legends, it should be functional enough to provide you with the details you're after in a nice GUI.

Ok it seems the game has more to offer than I thought! Even those trees are not just for the eyes, great!

Thanks for the answers.
