You start  the game as Commander Jameson and start off on a station in the Lave system with 100 in cash and your trusty Corbra Mark III. You can start trading and make your first from Lave to Zaonce like many traders before you. There are missions to complete but you are essentially the story  but real objective is to get to the rating of Elite. Completing missions, trading goods between stations and fighting Pirates and Thargoids will see your mostly harmless status soon change, and let’s hope it’s not fugitive.

Once you mastered docking or if you are lucky enough to have a docking computer you then can enjoy Oolite even more. If you speed blocked on the way to a space station the make a cupper come back and your almost there. You can use the keyboard or joystick to fly/combat, and you cover long distances with your hyperdrive system. when docking with stations you might want to take notice to the buy/sell prices for goods so you can make a profit.

If you’re new to Oolite then save everytime you dock .

Oolite has a large online community the where you can contact and get tips and advice with forums and wiki to keep you coming back for more.
