Thirded. I'm getting the hang of it but other people might be put off by not knowing what to do.

heres a quick explanation of how to first make cash
you fly to a few different sectors, looks for a place that sells stuff that has a sector adjacent that sells stuff, for egsample (these arent real trade routes) sector 2562 could sell ore, and sector 2561 could sell goods, what to do now is go into your trade routes and click create trade route, type in the starting point ( 2562) and the ending point (2561) then click for it to warp ( it can do this becuase there adjacent and only uses 4 moves, wheras real space would take over 100) and also click both ways, then go back to the main menu and a new option in trade will be there, click on that and PROFIT!! repeat the process until rich
with special ports you can buy upgades for your ship, like hull, means you could carry more ore and goods, which means more money
also you can link a trade route from there to a planet you have captured so you can send supplies or collonists there (i think)
if any of this is wrong ill edit it
oh and they only suggestion i have at the moment is descriptions of the items, or just what they do

What we really need is an idiots guide.
With screenshots and condescending captions.
