Always check an enemy's weak points

The game provides you information about a new enemy whenever you encounter one. The most important information are its weaknesses to various weapon types. Pay extra attention to this. The enemy can receive only minor damage if you attack them with the wrong weapon.

The information panel shows recommended weapons and informs you which ones you have.

Explore every location carefully

The planets have multiple locations. They are divided into a few types. Being part of a certain group means that you will find items from the same category. The short note on the map informs you what you can find in a given location - simply move your cursor over it.

Besides the items listed in the note, you can also get a few extra ones. Simply open every chest you come across and destroy every breakable object.

Use environment objects during combat

Locations can feature exploding containers. Shoot them to cause either a frost or heat explosion. Besides regular damage, your enemy will receive other negative effects (they need to stand on the stain created by the explosion). Remember to avoid contact with these stains - they can also damage your ship.

Use combinations of attacks

A good way of increasing your firepower is to use the right combinations. Thermal shock works great at the beginning of the game. An overheated or frozen enemy attacked with the opposite element will receive a lot of damage. This is especially useful when you are fighting with the Cyclops.

Be on good terms with the Observatories

Observatories are facilities located on every planet. Their goal is to scan the nearby terrains. Start cooperating with them and you will be able to use their data to reveal all hidden parts of the map that are within the observatory's radius.

Don't try to explore the entire map in one go

The game adds all the available locations on your map upon your first landing on a given planet. However, not all of them are suited for low-level characters. Move your cursor over a location that interests you to learn its recommended level.

Do not change the assignment of pilots to ships

When you play with a particular pilot, he or she collects experience points. They describe their experience on a specific ship. This means that when you change a ship, their level will drop again. That is why you should assign a given pilot to a given ship on a permanent basis.

Use the hyperdrive drive wisely

The hyperdrive is extremely useful when moving around the cosmos. It allows shortening the time of travel between planets. However, it can also be dangerous. Using it, it's easy to collide with asteroids or fall into an ambush of the Outlaws. That's why you should use hyperdrive only when you're absolutely sure you won't get into trouble over it.
