Hints : Use guest initially. Hit "B" and "V" twice each, to get planet resources on tactical and galactic maps. If you get lots of blink, set updates/second to lower value ('O' to bring up options window). Click on updates number until it's correct. Declare peace with everyone. Watch fuel supply -- orbit a friendly or neutral planet with fuel can. Avoid chasing ships, it's tough to dodge their fire.
