Trading from the Start : Step 6
STEP 1   STEP 2   STEP 3   STEP 4   STEP 5   STEP 6

Once your route has been created, click the link in the sector to start trading.

That's your first trade done.

Now you need to upgrade your Hull to get bigger profits. Do 2-3 trades and go back to sol 0 and upgrade hull only, use what you can afford and make a note of what the next hull upgrade will cost. Return to your trade route via warp links only and trade until that amount is reached, then go back to sol and upgrade hull again - I usually go back and forth until my hull reaches tech level 13 at a cost of 8,192,000 credits, then its time to concentrate on ships engines.

You need to reach tech level 13 for engines to move around using 1 turn each move, so you'll need to trade another 8,192,000 credits from your route. Once you have that return to sol and buy engines (13 tech) then you can go into open space and find more trade routes to upgrade your hull further.

In the early stages of the game concentrate on hull for bigger success.

Move on to Stage 2!
