~First Encounters

A few tips obtained via the Internet from David Mackintosh. 


I have found.. (or maybe someone else did first but I dind't hear 
about it).. a Brilliant trading route which is totaly safe! the 
route is :


1: Go to sol (system)

2: Sell all equipment except for autopilot nav computer and 
   atmospheric shielding.

3: Buy enough fuel for a trip to Bernards star (near Sol)

4: Fill up remaining cargo space with luxury goods

5: Hyperspace to Bernards star

6: Go to a station (I used miller depot)

7: Sell all luxury goods 

8: Buy enough fuel for a trip back to Sol.

9: Fill up remaining space on Robots or Computers

10: Hyperspace to Sol

11: Sell Robots or Computers for huge profit. (look on bulletin board
    for special buyers)

12: Repeat until very rich.


To give you an idea of how well this works , in two hours of playing 
I got from a viper defence craft MII to a Griffin carrier!!

~I've been hired to kill somebody (as usual) , but when the time came
~for the 'somebody' to come out of a space station - he didn't ! I 
~tried loading an old game  and trying agian; but it still didn't 
~work.  Can anybody tell me why this is happening please? Also does 
~anybody know how to edit the amount of money you have in the 
~floppy version?


Usually, they will not come out on the exact time.. if you wait l
ater, about 3 or 4 minutes, sometimes they come out.. I've had 
someone come out much later, and MY problem is that they jump into 
hyperspace immediately.  However sometimes I try to launch a missile 
at them, and as SOON as I launch, there is an explosion, (my missile 
exploding right in front of me, and its not a result of ecm either) 
and then he disapears.. no hyperspace cloud or anything.. but about 
5 miles out there is debris.. metal alloys.. I'd return to collect 
my bounty, and they say that they are disappointed etc.. Its pissing 
me off because I can't do any assasinations whatsoever! I too have 
it patched.
