help i feel so lost, nobody could help me so far.


i need explainations, i feel so lost, im too stupid to understand jtl.



i went to a recruiter and became imperial pilot 0000, was given a tie fighter shuttle



a) better to buy another ship with 0000 ? money is not a problem to me, or is it best i can fly with 0000?
do i need equipment? or do i qualify for a better ship so fast that its not worth putting money and time into the noob chassis?



i always read confusing things "to buy":




  • reactor

  • engine

  • shield

  • capacitor

  • 2X strong (pob) cannons

  • 1x mkII or elite mining laser

  • droid interface

  • droid computer v6

  • cargo hold (Large or y-8 compatible)

  • in placement of lower turrent you can equip a PLAYER MADE tractorbeam. this is controled from the pilot control by binding a key to tractorbeam.

  • is this all i need? yes i want to do spacemining too i just dont know where to start quest that gives me introduction to spacemining.



    did i forgot a equipment part????


    where to buy them from? chassis NPC or player?



    do i need to buy them with skill 0000 and noob tioe fighter anyway too, or any equipment just needed with higher ships cause noob ship gets "old" too fast again ?



    b)



    all those droid interfaces and autopilots and stuff, droid compters etc etc etc


    i dont understand any explainations of them.


    do i really need them? me as a noob doesnt have the wisdom or time to adjust energy etc anywy, if i get attacked i try to fire back and not try to load shield energy to laser energy etc , are those droid stuff parts ment for swapping energy etc, or what for?






    i really need guides that are written to FULL NOOBS


    this all is so confusing, so much confusing to me, i play on infinity-european server




    c) my ship is broken , i tried to fly around today and got killed by npcs, it warped me back to coronet with 600 health and mind wounds. now i cant start into space it says i need an engine etc again.


    what to do now, buy a new chassis? buy new engine? or what?




    d) cargo hold...any size fits in any ship? biggest hol fits in noob chassis 0000 skill?
    e) same question on lasers...any laser fits on any ship? i have the noob tie fighter skill 0000 which laser i should buy

    Ok first off... work though teir 1 with the ship the trainer gave you, you will get though teir 1 rather quickly and there is no need to spend money on a new ship...cuz really it will make no difference...the ship they give you is really pretty good for starting.

    Forgot armor...also space mining would be really hard to do untill teir 2 or 3 cuz your limitations as far as ship certifications


    did i forgot a equipment part????


    where to buy them from? chassis NPC or player?


    Chassis and components are bought from shipwrights...and usually if you can find one online ask him questions...he will help a lot because they generally have a greater knowledge of ships and how to configure them to your needs


    do i need to buy them with skill 0000 and noob tioe fighter anyway too, or any equipment just needed with higher ships cause noob ship gets "old" too fast again ?

    Really you don't need droid interfaces or a flight computer early on but when you get to the next teir you might. and even still i got along without one till i was teir 3.

    Did you check the FAQ in this forum they usually answer a lot of questions...and they generally have more info.



    c) my ship is broken , i tried to fly around today and got killed by npcs, it warped me back to coronet with 600 health and mind wounds. now i cant start into space it says i need an engine etc again.


    what to do now, buy a new chassis? buy new engine? or what?


    most likely your engine was damaged and you landed...two things... to fix your engine the trainer gave you a ship repair kit (if you don't have a repair kit you most likely can get one off the bazzar) go on to the starship terminal and click the manage button and it will give you the option to fix it...second i make it a point that everytime before i land to get repaired at the station...it is usually a lot cheaper and a heck of a lot easier.



    d) cargo hold...any size fits in any ship? biggest hol fits in noob chassis 0000 skill?
    e) same question on lasers...any laser fits on any ship? i have the noob tie fighter skill 0000 which laser i should buy


    Yes this is true... however you have to make it fit in conjunction with you reactor energy and the mass your ship will allow, and agian the components that the trainer gave you will suffice until you get to the higher levels and by then you can either buy new ones or you will have looted good ones.


    I hope this helps at least a little
