The tips and tricks thread
I'm starting this thread as a place where people can share their tips and hints to help people get the most out of their time in Starmourn. Post up any tidbits that you feel will be helpful for others as we start this journey together. I'll post some of the tips from the closed beta that might be helpful to you all too, to get things rolling.

Combat feels deadlier. I could usually take two creatures in Achaea or Lusternia at the same time, but combat in Starmourn is tough. Most creatures worth leveling on are going to be a tough fight.
If you are not paying attention to evenly matched opponents, queuing attacks, and prepared to heal or dash then be ready to accept a few deaths.

- For those yet unaware, you can participate in INCURSIONS on your ship and shoot down those pesky invaders to familiarize yourself with your weapons controls, and also to raise your Captaincy rank! (INCURSION LIST, INCURSION MAP helps.)
- Those finding for joints of leesa skins (mmm, space drugs) to smoke should hang out more with those who enslaved or tried to enslave Cassandra Min. My favourite unintended find so far.
- Don't neglect to put some stats into Lifeforce, Evasion, or Regen. They help a lot when you're beating up things that hit like a mini asteroid.

Using the gears button in the bottom right corner (Settings), turn on "Hide all chat messages in the main window if they are shown in another tab"
Back on the client page, right-click anywhere, hover over over Channels, and click on Newbie.
Right-click on the page again, hover over Tabs, and click on Global Communication Window.
As of now (at least for me), turning on the Faction channel tab doesn't work, and with the global chat tab gone, Newbie will be on its own, and everything else will appear in the main window. If you keep the global chat tab open, ALL chat will appear there, meaning newbie, says, faction tells, others, and NPC dialogue, which makes it impossible to do quests.
On a similar note, CONFIG SHOWDAMAGE ON to show how much each attack is hitting mobs for.
Config mxp adds links just like nexus has by default.
Also great navigating skill lists, help files etc.
Read the HELP MINDSIM file for more details!
Our factions may be ideologically opposed but so are modern day real life countries. We have a glorious galactic community and economy. Go RP with your rivals. It doesn't mean we're all sleeping together. War is still war; buying Pollivar a drink doesn't mean I won't try to burn him to a crisp later at a Cosmpiercer.
Don't shit this game up like the others.
EDIT: Modern parallel: there’s obviously tension today between Russia and the US. That doesn’t mean any time an American meets a Russian IRL it’s going to be a Mexican standoff. Russians and Americans can be pals. It’s cool. Your culture might not be the same and you might have opinions about the other country’s politics but it’s not like the two countries have an embargo going on. The average Russian does not have beef with the average American just for being American, nor vice versa.
