*curently udating guide with videos uploading video now it will be avaliable soon
*Wont be able to update guide dis week too mutch work sorry

Trading

Trading is basicaly buy cheap and sell high but there is alot more than tat.



the general space wares

Name	volume	Type
anti matter cells	4	energy
assault URV	194	container
Astrobee Launcher	276	container
Astrobee Swarmkillers	36	container

The volume is how mutch space a single unit of the ware will take in your cargo
I will update the table later

First you need to pick the right ship for the wares you want to transport
Here are the different transport types

• container
  
• liquids
  
• bulk
  
• energy
  
• fuel
  Make sure you chose the right transport or it wont work u can check the transport type in the info menu of a ship

Now to pick where to buy and where to sell
You need to get how the trading menu actally work (for now at least) its a bit messy
you can switch between viewing the ware sold by stations and the ware brough by stations
the quantity and the price spek for themself but what matter is the ADJ coumn
ADJ is for price adjustment the best is to buy with a negative % adjustment ans sell with a positive one
For example i buy energy cells at -10% of the average price and i sell them at +10% of the average price Making the oposite will make you lose money

Keep in mind tat the ADJ depend of the actual ammount of resource the station actally ave a factorry fully loaded with energy sell will pay mutch less than a factory depleted of it
Tis is basic for the old x universe player but may be hard to get for new players

Crew

Lots of crew members but what do they actally do?

• Pilots
  used to control samller ships
  
  
• Captains
  Command capital ship can also give order to multiple ships if you assing them to take orders from him (you still need crew on the assigned ship)
  
  
• Defense Officer
  manage the turrets/drone on a ship or a station
  
  
• Managers
  Manage station
  
  
• Engineers
  Can make basic repair on a ship or a station if equiped with a construction drone (currently broken)
  
  
• Architects
  build stztion you need to assign them on a construction ship
  
  
• Marine Officerd
  Command your marrine assault team
  
  
• Marines
  The actual assault crew

Now the specialists
Cell Specialis
Agricultural Engineer
Food Technologists
Chemical Specialis
Precision Assemblers
Weapons Technologists
Pharmaceutical Agents
Metallurgical Engineers
Geophysicists
Surface Technicians
Power Specialis
Hydro Specialists


They improve a specific production in your station they are not mandatory but u may want a couple of them if your station is well supplied

Building the station

• First of all you need to recruit an architect then find a shipyard tat build construction ships.
  When ordering the ship dont forget to put construction drones and cargo drones
  the ship will be in your squad as soon as finished dock on it and tell the architect to work there
  menu (enter) crew call distant select architect tell him/her to work here
  
  
  
  
• Once it is done u need to seartch a good location for it. location will show up if u ave a construction ship with an architect on board in your squad (a light blue icon floating in space)
  come to the icon click it and select build station it will put the architect troug.
  
  
• There u will ave a list of stations pick carefully to make the right choice u can go to the trade window look at the ware buy by station and check the ware tat has alot of +20% price the resource is rare so it will sell well
  
  
  
  
• Once u picked your station select the defensive upgrade you need Then the architect will ask you if you plan to provide the material or let the job to her. i suggest you let the job to her cause u can sell the needed material to the construction ship anyway
  The architect will now ask you for some funds. those funds are used to buy the station construction material but will also be used by the manager for resource purchasing later on.
  Confirm twice then the construction should start.
  
  
• Dont worry if the construction ship dont go intro construction mode it will still do it.
  The resource gathering process take a long time. u can eventually hep by selling to the construction ship some of the material (tats why you need cargo drones on it)
  If u feel like it is stuck dont worry and just go in another secor for awhile.
  
  
• Once all resources are gathered construction begins. you can check progress in module menu of the architect.
  
  not confirmed: i had a step back in resources during a construction once i belive somone killed a construction drone during the construction process if it hapend the construction ship will go back in purchasen resource mode then back to construction once all material are there

Managing a station

Once the station is done you need to go pick a manager for it to run you should also get a defence officer to defend it U also need cargo drone for the station. You can get them by speaking with the architect.
Land on the station tell the manager to work there.
If there is enghou fund remain from construction he will automatically put some puchase offer for production goods If u dont ave enghou funds on the manager account u can add some by speaking with the architect.
You can order a freiter to work for a station just call the ship captain and tell them to take order from somone else select on map or on menu your station. Make sure the cargo ave the right fitting for the goods you want to carry ex: container for food and ave some cargo drones too
Tats it yous station will run automatically the fund will be added to the manager account.

Upgrading a station

Currently experiencing with it ill update later.

The construction ship is still there even if u cant see it hemove even to other sector and wont be in your ship list.
U can still contact the architect via the station (call the station itself)
speak with the architect about the station plans it will open the construction menu u can upgrade the existing module or add a new one. you just ave pick the one you wana build pick the defensive upgrade you want to build on it the the build process start again.

While upgrading the construction ship seems to move ALOT i did see it in other sectors not sure if he just go purchase the resources himself

Combat

*under construction*

Making quick money at the begining

Long range scanner is your friend!

When starting a freeplay you dont ave any ship beside the albion skunk
A good way to earn cash is to use the long range scanned and colect abandonned goods

in the menu select hud mode then long range scanner.
your hud will change if you want to leave tat mode at any time just enter the menu and press 1 it will bring back the normal HUD mode

when in long range scanner mode hold the R button and u weal ear the scanner charging you ave to release the button before the scanned overlod it may take some practice. The more you get the scanner charged the futhurer the scan wave will go.

When you send a scan pulde you will notice small white circle on your HUD those can be asteroid or leftover containers the second ones are the one you are looking for. Just come close to it and shoot it. the content of the box will be avaliable to collect.

You can find crediys reguler goods or illegal goods so watch for police scaning
jjust do some colection and go sell to a station and u will make money faster than in a mission.

Man, your english is not poor, it's simply pathetic. So much spelling errors!. Anyway, thanks for the tips

I think what this game really needs is a guide to the clueless! You just get dropped in and are directed to a station, but once you're there, that's it. There are video tutorials but they are way ahead of what newbies need, since just figuring out how the interface works is a trial and error exercise, and it isn't clear at all what you're supposed to be doing.

The first thing is to get some weapons, and maybe get your ship repaired, but how to do either is guesswork. It is that level of introduction that would be a help for newbies to get started. Tell people how to get everything up and running, and then the basics like navigation and control, interacting with ships, and how to control your weapons and targeting. All of the basic stuff that the game assumes you know how to do.

A simple video with you starting the game, setting everything up and then going off and engaging with some enemies would get people started without wasting hours bumbling around.

[grezo49]

Good Guide, after many months playing other games i decided to give X:rebirth another go after i saw all the updates, an felt hopeful athat the initial bugs would be fixed....oh dear how silly was i....started the game again and i hit the same problem as before, the stupid ship will NOT sell the food rations to the station no matter what i do, i even bought a new ship to do the trade again,.....still nothing...im so very frustrated an upset i cant play what could be an awesome game

[DeathMade]

It is funny but I found a solution after less then five min. :D
For those who have same issue select zour station->details-> click on manager and on managers details-> click on budget and click on change

and ENJOY!!!

[DeathMade]

And I also found out thart when I try to give manager more money, I cant. It just balance it 50/50 like 70M/70M credits I cant even withdraw the money. please help

[DeathMade]

Hi all,
I have a problem with that station from campain. I built it, gave it a manager, a cargo freighter, and it should have 100M credits.

So my problem is, when some ship tries to trade with that my URV station, it will fly to the trading port(I don't know how to call it :D), and it will park next to it(like she would like to launch the cargo drones) but it will do nothing and flies off.

Any ideas?

Sorry for my poor english. And BTW GREAT GUIDE!!!

I just cant seem to get the hang of trading. I mean i understand the principal but i dont understand why all i can find is Wares sold at +ve Adjustment and sold at -ve adjustment. I cant find anywhere to actually sell stuff to make a profit. What gives? What am i doing wrong
