Opening moves?

[Kings Bounty Hunter]

I kind of like this game but it's hard work. trading is kind of boring and fights are ok if you have a good ship with good weapons, but they cost lots. The game hinges on only two things, trading and missions it seems.

I'm going to persevere a bit more and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I understand Galian gear is the best and sometimes i cant join in fights against dominators as the fights are far away, sometimes.

ANyway, what should I do
