Missions
You can start out with 1 of 3 missions. It takes a long time to get far and experienced so I haven't beaten any of them yet, but I started out with the first mission. When playing the actual game, you will receive many mini-missions when you land at planets, and you will need to carry them out on time so that you can receive credits which you can buy stuff with later.
Mission #1: Go deep undercover to find the reason for pirate attacks on the galaxy Terra; the galaxy that contains Mercury, Venus, Earth, etc. I haven't figured out how to do this yet, but I'm sure I will as the mini-missions get more complex. It may also have to do with attacking the right pirates to possibly acquire information. Again I don't know because my ship isn't good enough to fight tough pirates.
Mission #2: Assist Abiddon in their war against Xiati. I'm guessing this is a battle between two pirate groups although I'm not sure where or when in the whole map the battles take place, and how to finally complete it.
Mission #3: Enter Amonkrie territory and discover their hidden purpose. I'm guessing, again, that this is similar to how you complete the first mission except harder because it's mission 3 instead of 1.
Personally I think beating the 3 main missions isn't the biggest achievement in the game; this next part is my favorite......
Ship
When starting out, depending on the mission you choose, you will get to choose between 1 ship for the 1st mission, 2 ships for the 2nd mission, and 3 ships for the 3rd mission. Now depending on the ship you choose you get specific items on your ship, and a limited amount of cargo space. Some of the things that are included with the acquiring, or purchase, of your ship are armor, shield generators, weapons, extra cargo hold, and engines. Mostly all of these items are cheap in quality and should be replaced, to upgrade your ship. Any and all of the items in your ship can be sold at a spacedock, but be careful what you sell for example if you get rid of your life support your ship will quickly be destroyed because the "crew" on your ship will die, therefore leaving the ship uncontrolled, therefore causing it to eventually explode. You will need credits to buy new items for your ship or o buy a new ship.
Credits
You can acquire credits 1 of 2 ways. Number 1 is completing missions, which I suggest you do first, or number 2 attacking pirate ships and collecting their lose cargo (boxes which glow red on the vertices) after their ship's have been destroyed. I suggest you do this when your ship is well armored and you have good weaponry. If you get lucky you will find lose cargo laying around because of a fight between two pirate ships themselves, always try to pick it up if the area isn't dangerous. In the event that you don't complete a cargo carrying mission and you have lose cargo, sell it quickly at any space dock for some extra credits.
Enemies
Their are one type of enemies throughout the whole game, and those of course are pirates. When looking upon you map you will see the areas that are relatively safe and the pirate galaxies. There are mini-missions when you become more experienced, to destroy pirate ships and gain credits, and those pay out very well. I'm not experienced enough yet, but I believe if you take over a base or kill some specific pirates in a galaxy that galaxy may become safe. In the event that do encounter a pirate ship in a safe galaxy and your ship is not good enough to fight it off, slow down your speed and head in 45-70 degree angle away from the pirate. Most of the time it will leave you alone but if it doesn't, go repair your ship at a space dock and dip from that galaxy. Often there will be very small pirate satellites tracking you, and to avoid any problems just destroy it (you don't need much firepower), and you won't get tracked. Most likely pirates want you for your cargo, so as long as you sell your loose cargo frequently, save even more frequently (never know when you might die), and keep a low profile until you get good armor and good guns, you'll be safe and good to go.
