-Click NPCs twice to fire at them or click them once and select your ammo type to fire.
Step 1: Fly out into the world. Look at your white dot on your bottom right minimap, this is your current position on the map. If your white dot goes off the map you will be damaged by radiation.
Mine your first asteroid and/or kill your first scout. Click the quests tab on the left side for directives about what to do. You must be within a close range for your lasers to fire.
When you mine asteroids or kill NPCs you will gain rewards (at the top of your screen and in your log) that you can use to improve your ship. Asteroids give you rewards for each hit, NPCs give you rewards once you destroy them.
Step 2: Make sure you spawn your drones on the right side “Drone” tab to help you fight (guard mode) or go off on their own to find and mine asteroids (mining mode) for you. Drones can mine while you are away from the game for idle rewards.
Step 3: Buy lasers to increase your damage, or shields to increase your shield amount and stay alive longer. You can purchase and then equip them by clicking the + button in your “Equip” tab.
Step 4: Buy a new ship (recommended you buy Support ship first once you can afford it), you will have to fly back to your station where you originally started to equip it.
Step 5: Whatever you like, once you understand the basic premise you can work to improve your ship however you want. Buy more lasers for more damage, get more drones for more mining rewards, save up for the fearsome Dreadnought! The Atmosphere is now up for you to grab your portion of.
