Everspace 2

• The game is a looter shooter at heart. Regularly look for upgrades to your equipment, even if it means changing weapon types.

• Pay attention to the Challenges section under Data. Every star system has an explorer challenge that unlocks fast forward while in supralight, which is unbelievably useful. Make completing this your priority.

• Different ships in the same class (striker, bomber etc) can have different passive abilities, so check those before you buy. Later, you'll be able to choose between 2 sets when you buy.

• Flak cannons will pop an entire mining node in one shot, which is great for efficiency, but beam lasers give more and better materials if you mine with those.

• Save the System Recovery Routine consumables; they are almost mandatory in a later system.
