Other things to know
Don't insult anybody in anyway, you can lose a lot of money to anybody that holds a grudge and likes to blow up your ships and Pods. You could easliy drag the Corporation into a war that we don't want.

When you get blown up, as fast as you can, dock to a station. Some low lifes like to blow up Pods.

Do not open other peoples cargo, this is stealing and they will probably blow up your ship. Alot of players lay traps to attract thieves.

If you are near a station or stargate and open fire on somebody else, your ship will be destroyed by station guns faster than you can blink.

If you are in need of more info, there are many resources to get your answers.
