Here are some pointers for the new people.



1. Choose your game. ie don't jump into a game that has been going
on for a more than a day, you will just be killed. Your best bet is to
start in a game right when it is rebanged. Learn about the edits you
are playing, BEFORE you play them.



2. Never, never hit someone else's fig. It just tell them where you
are so they can come and kill you. Be a ghost, density scan in every
sector and if you get ANY density reading above zero then holoscan.



3. Get and use a helper like Swath, the combination of Swath and TWXProxy is considered the best when it comes to helpers.



4. Ask questions, not in the game but in the forums at the servers
at which you play. Ignore the morons. Don't whine about getting killed.
Instead ask, what mistake did I make to get myself killed. Remember if
you died it was because of something you did or something you should
have done but didn't do.



5. Remember this is a war game, its object is to kill. Thats why they call it Tradewars.



6. Corp up. Join with other players, it serves 2 purposes, you get
to know the players you play with AND two players are harder to kill
than one player.



7. Play low turn games to start. They are slower and once you get
good at playing in a low turn game it is easier to play the higher turn
games.



8. Improvise, adapt, overcome. Don't stay locked into a mindset
that gets you killed at every turn. Be paranoid because we are, in
fact, out to get you!



Remember, be a ghost. And ask lots of questions in the forums. Read everything you can find on how TradeWars is played now.

1. turns games are generally safe longer than 1 day, also, how do you learn an edit w/o playing it?

2. hit figs, but hit them fast, and don't stick around for someone to come looking for you, and learn what the densities mean, and you won't need to waste turns holoscanning all the time.

3. Zoc > Swath

4. ask to join someone corp, ask for help in games, many people will answer your questions and maybe let you corp up and learn.

5. sure

6. yes, and no, 2 players are just as easy to kill if they both don't know what they are doing. try to corp with people who know what they are doing, and are willing to teach.

7. playing low turns doesn't help you get into high turns, playing low turns teaches you things like resource management, and general game strategy. high turns ignore things like building and turn management and just teach fast cashing, and fast killing.

8. don't be paranoid, paranoia leads to fear, fear leads to turtling, and turtling leads to not knowing how to win.
