You can drop the item you're currently dragging regardless if there's open space on the floor or not. This means that you can strip all components off of any ship, drag 'em to your cabin and drop them on top of each other.

Here's my tip: NEVER use the save money option or make decisions in character creation based on starting cash. The gig kiosk will almost always have courier tasks that start and complete within K-Leg (the starting station). If a courier gig has a $0 fee, it likely has an active salvage permit. The only penalty to forfeiting a gig is the initial cost, effectively giving you free permits. In character creation, you should focus on skills and traits. Whether you do that directly or via adventure is up to you.

Smart

My first playthrough i decided to save up money for a couple years, which got me like $1k... felt nice until i saw that the street vendor charges $400-$600 FOR A SINGLE MEAL. Your character has to tighten their belt for a whole year just to afford 1 meal. Yeah, def don't take the save money option.

Steal the fucking doors is truly a Detroit moment

Can't have shit in K-Leg Station.

[@KitsuneOfKamis]

Most of these tips are rather devious...I like it.

a thing you will figure out quickly is that you want to make your airlock a double, so that you have your main outer airlock area that you can empty of air since you really don't want to lose too much of it at a bad time - so making a second area airlock behind it will help a lot - basically you need 3 airlock doors, your outer that you interface with other crafts with, then one door to close the area off behind the outer door with pumps that empty out that area automatically, then the 3rd door to give you access to the inner airlock space, also with pumps to empty out the inner airlock space... (basic 3x3 rooms work fine for both airlocks, you can make your inner airlock space your trade one)

Oho wise advice, this is an experienced ship breaker here

This is truly a Barotrauma moment.

man i remember buying this game when it first released on early access, nice to see that it has advanced so far, im gonna wait for 1.0 before i start playing it

You will always find fuel and oxygen canisters on ships (~$500 for N2 and $1-2k for O2, depending on how full they are). So never pay for fuel or oxygen at the fuel kiosk, only power. License permits have a 'read' option that tell you their expiration time, durability is NOT time remaining. The Black Market dealer rotates their stock and prices constantly, so if you don't like the price offered then go 'browse your social apps' and then come back. There is no penalty for using the entire station as your personal storage bay, stash your goods and loot until the prices are high or you are ready to build an expansion onto your ship (which you can and absolutely should do).

ah of course the steps to success copious amounts of crime .

[@Khono]

Instructions unclear, I drank from their fridge and stole from their toilet. Help!

[@APGamingReal]

@@Khono good enough

[@Khono]

@@APGamingReal Turd burgling approved!

[@Therian13]

Can you even say you ever lived, if you didn`t steal a toilet?! Not everyone can afford a shit-bucket.

[@JoshuaRawls-u1l]

I got arrested

[@Shinypiggy101]

I got pulled over with two bodies in my storage room

[@slavikantonyuk7408]

I can't refuel O2 and N2? In the fuel distributor I can only recharge batteries

[@Mimerneos]

if your ship is out of power, the fueling station can't see how much fuel/o2 the ship has or doesn't have. So recharge first, then you'll see the fueling options
