How character creation works

Character creation continues until your character owns a ship or runs out of available years. Each paid choice advances the life simulation by one year, so an option can improve the character while also increasing age. The collected beginner material warns that older characters may begin with worse physical conditions, making every extra year a real tradeoff.

The starting ship is also described as one of the largest influences on early difficulty. That means character creation is not only about accumulating traits: it also determines when you stop preparing and accept a hull. The material does not provide a verified universal best age, skill combination, or ship roll, so those values remain deliberately unranked.

Review before committing

REVIEW RESUME is the safe information option because it can be used repeatedly without spending a year. Check current money, learned skills, acquired traits, and generated contacts before choosing another life event or accepting a ship. This is especially important after SEEK ADVENTURE because its rewards and penalties are not predictable in advance.

A practical decision loop is to review the resume, identify the largest missing capability, and then decide whether a predictable purchase is worth another year. If you do not have enough verified information to judge a listed trait or ship, leave that judgment marked as 待确认 rather than assuming it is valuable. The final site will link to a separate starter-ship page only after that keyword has enough sourced material to publish.

What happens after character creation?

After taking a ship, follow the tutorial objectives until the first safe location or Base of Operations is available. The supplied beginner notes say bills and mortgage costs are collected every shift, with a shift lasting six in-game hours. They also warn that unpaid station bills should be settled before undocking.

The first repeatable progression loop is to obtain the required salvage permission, fly to a nearby derelict, scan before boarding, remove useful equipment, return the cargo, sell it, and pay ongoing costs. Electronics, motors, and undamaged equipment are described as stronger early targets than undifferentiated bulk scrap. Exact item prices and the best first hull are not included because the collected material does not verify them.

1. Use REVIEW RESUME before spending another character year.
2. Choose WORK ON SELF for a predictable skill or trait purchase.
3. Choose SEEK ADVENTURE only when you accept a variable outcome.
4. Treat SAVE SOME MONEY as a weak option based on the supplied community summary.
5. Inspect ship choices carefully because selecting one ends character creation.
