After awhile playing the second start of KE, i decided to make money first before i go further with the story, that means gonna sell that thresher for other ships.
Was planning to buy one of the 2 scouts and mapping the boron and other zones (argon, paranid, ect). My question is there are 2 scouts the small one i can get maxed out if i sell the thresher and the other one i can only get to medium, but even at medium that thing goes 9k/s.
Question is should i map out most of the sectors to start a small trading empire or should i directly buy a trader and start trading at the beginning.
(dam this question is longer then i tought it would be) Ö

I'd map the Boron Sectors personally while buying trader asap. Or miner.
Yeah, who am i kidding, i always start from miners ;D

When you sell the thresher you unequip all the items you can, and sell consumables. This will get you around 1.2 million. Sell the hull after that downgrade is done, for another 700K.

Buy minimum preset miners and traders, you will need to add a mining drill to the miners.

Gas miners will be better to start with, then regular miners and traders last of all. Traders turn less profit, especially at the start of the game due to preset station prices. If you do get a trader you can trade refined metals, and water for a decent profit.

You can buy a mako with medium preset, and still have over a million left over for other ships. Boron Herald start has the highest starting funds of any game start outside of custom.
