Pioneer Start - Dock Building

[MavorMWS]

Hello there o7

I actually am at this point of the Pioneer mission, where i have been warped to Grand Exchange with my station and now, i have to build a dock but...

How am i supposed to build my dock with nearly no ressources or cash ? I only got my Kestrel ship, and I'm a bit lost here ^^'

You have to earn money to pay for a builder and materials. Do some missions or mine some crystals. I suggest investing in some mining or trading vessels first to get an income going. Future missions in the chain require a lot more materials.

[Set-115689]

Capture ships or pick up drops from combat. HOP/Argon/Paranid war zones. A captured M ship is about 1m-2m. Some captured S ships are 1m+. Sell the deployables.

Same with terran start... 10 missions: No money, no resources, no rewards or ships. Deploy advanced satellite here, build this there... Defeat 10x M ships.. And? Where is the money? Where's the ship? Where's the reward?

But the end result is well worth the effort and cost of those ten missions. You get a Syn class destroyer .

In fact you should look up the Paranid plot if you really want something that has no return but exorbitant cost of resource and effort.

Who cares about the end when I can't play the game? How do you deploy 3 advanced satellites, defeat 15xM+30S ships, or build a station following a story line in which you are given absolutely nothing but a S ship?
I'm just agreeing with the op. I tested and uninstalled today already.

I am unsure where you ever need to face that many foes alone, I do know it is doable as I finished the Yaki plot with minimal deviance or any grinding. The enemy ships you can just lure to a friendly station and use the station as cover or even wait until the enemies hit the station enough to get fired back by the station. With the loot you get from the aftermath of the xenon assault you should be able to make more then enough for advanced satellites. Sell ship equipment if that is not enough, sell the event ship even.

I did that start. What's the rush in getting it built?

I tried (and succeeded) to find my way back to my own sector doing missions along the way. Mostly the low paid ones where you are a basicall a taxi. Also discovered lots of other sectors in the process. Also killed a few crims round friendly stations. That earned me enough rep to unlock trade missions.

You get given another scout ship. Use it to survey the local sectors round your new station. Discovered some indie faction, they gave me some work and gave me a freightor

Managed to save a enough for a small mining ship. Put that to work while I used my scout ship to uncover everything in my own sector and laying down my own satellites so I could get real time trade info.

Soon had enough to build the dock and more.
