1- It seems you're going too fast/slow during the re-entry.

2- Go to stations and cities to look for available contracts.

3- Piracy? I don't really know

5- Yup, fuel is really needed! If you run out of fuel... Well... ;P

I'm a new player too, so I don't know a lot of things yet, just trying to help.

Fly Safe!

drink grog while you fight in space, that what a pirate would do!!!

As for joining clans and pvp yes, come into multiplayer
(you play with the same pilot single player and multiplayer)

ok here we go
1 do not exceed 1400 velocity in atmosphere, you will burn up

2 i will let someone else help with quests

3 there are many things to do, the biggest objective is to increase rank and wealth so you can upgrade and purchase equipment. then theres exploreing, contracts, combat missions, pvp, etc.

4 you can join in all activities in mp

5 you must buy your fuel and missiles. countermeasures are free with fuel purchase

Hehe I just started on Tuesday myself but can answer some of those questions (I didn't want to start my stay on this forum with a question haha!)

1. Try the "planet descent" tutorial in the "Training" menu of the game? You're either dying because you used Jump Drive and appeared in the atmosphere (or worse, the surface of the planet) or you're too fast when entering the planet. If you're jumping to the planet, set your nav marker a few thousand (tens of thousands for large planets) units away from the planet before you jump. Also keep your speed low, IIRC the limit is a little over 1400 (so no afterburner or high IDS multipler) in the atmosphere unless you know what you're doing.

2. Quests are "contracts" or "missions" available from space stations, "carriers", and cities on planets. See: Gameplay Tutorial Video #4: Basic Contract Objectives in http://www.starwraith.com/evochronmerce ... iverse.htm

(can't answer 3-4 I'm playing as a trader who doesn't shoot unless fired upon first or on patrol contracts)

5. Yep fuel is VERY important as any sublight maneuvers (movement other than jump drive) needs it. You have infinite "primary" ammo but limited missiles that you have to buy.

2. There is also a special IMG Quest ... and, after that, a quest mod called The Quest for Peace.

Yes, Planets draw you in... They have gravity! If you get too close your ship will start to get sucked down to the planet. The 'gravity error' you are getting, is not an error, but a warning. The ships AI is letting you know that you are in a gravitational pull.

Also remember that Planets have atmospheres. This is why you keep exploding! When you enter a Planet's atmosphere at too high a rate, it causes friction, which in turn causes HEAT! That is why your screen starts to turn red!

Look at the very unfortunate NASA Space Shuttle Columbia.

This is what is happening to you.

When you do land on a planet, and accept a mission, you have to wait until your Ship's AI says, 'Switching Systems to Space'( or whatever it is ). Once she says that, you can hit your F2 key to jump to your assigned mission. If you hit it before, you will explode!

Hope that helps!
