To start with, think offensive! If you start going soft, you're out!
 
 This is the golden rule of Elite, you've got to struggle to survive.
 
 The biggest profit lies in trading narcotics from a rich industrial
 world to a poor agrucial. The profit is also big when trading in
 medicals and computers from the rich industrial worlds to the poor
 agrucial. Gold, platonium, minerals, liqures and sometimes furs is
 profitable to trade from poor agrucial worlds to rich industrial.
 
 The fastest route to assets is to travel to a planet which has a
 Feudal guvorment. This is the most law-less kind of all guvorments
 (where Corporate State is the safest) and here you can, and will meet
 many pirates. Shoot 'em and collect the cargo cannisters they leave
 behind (this requires fuel scoops, of course). Warning! You ought to
 be equipped with a better laser than the standard puls-type, 'cos
 there will in most cases be too many pirates attacking at the same
 time thus resulting in a catastrophe if you're equipped with a lonley
 puls-laser. 
 
 NEVER buy retro-rockets. They cost CR 8000 and is almost useless,
 since all they do is to thrust you backwards a couple of times. Nice
 to use to escape from your enemies for a short period of time, but it
 isn't worth the dough. If you want to escape, use the escape-capsule.
 Your cargo is gone, but you'r getting a new space ship, identical to
 the one you dropped out from. 
 
 To speed up the game considerately, buy a docking computer, switch
 the docking computer to the 'fast' mode under options (+)and the
 second you press 'C' (when the 'S' sign has appeared in the lower
 right corner of the radar) you will be in the automatic docking
 sequence, instead of using most of the game time just approching
 space-stations. 
 
 During combat:stop the speed of your craft as soon as the enemies
 appear. This gives you more time to shoot at them before they return
 the confetti. If their number is overwhelming gain top speed and fly
 away from them while using the rear laser to shoot 'em down. The last
 tactic is preferable if you meet a Thargoid and you've got only a
 pulse laser.
