* Be wary of your security status. If it falls below certain levels then Faction Police may shoot you if you enter a high enough security system. E.g. Sec status -2.0 or below means you will be shot in systems with sec status 1.0-0.9. Sec status of -5 or lower means you are kill on sight to everyone. Train diplomacy to remedy this a little. | * Be wary of your security status. If it falls below certain levels then Faction Police may shoot you if you enter a high enough security system. E.g.

{{expansion past | It used to be possible to add anyone to your contacts and get notified when they logged on or off. This made it possible to add competing traders to your contacts to see when they log off. At that point you would then undercut all their orders knowing that they weren't checking the market. To counter this tactic people would leave their trade character logged on all the time. This is no longer necessary. Nowadays both players have to consent to see when they log on or off (buddy list).}} | {{expansion past | It used to be possible to add anyone to your contacts and get notified when they logged on or off.
