D. Raising Experience Points Rapidly

Go to a Class 7 Port and buy 14 Ore, 8 Org and 2 Equ Trade for 2 points each time. Jettison the stuff and repeat. In theory you can earn 6 points of Exp per turn (it works out closer to 5 points) so in a 1000 turn game you can earn 5000 points of Exp in one day! Exp and Align can be bought with credits!
 

3. AUTO PILOT

The autopilot has been improved. It now shows the number of "hops" and the number of "turns" to reach a nonadjacent sector. Single stepping is much more useful. Instead of stopping in every sector and making you engage warp again, it asks if you want to stop allowing you to exercise several options including porting and scanning and then asks again. You can then continue on by simply pressing N. This can be very useful when you are looking for something!
