Here's what I did:
First time around you buy a infimp drive and check out prices at stations. Once you found a decent place thats sell low and another that buys high then your set. (Type !resetme to rid of the infmip and reset your money)

Now you buy a cargo transport and a cargo bay and use found route and hopefully get enough money to buy an infimp.

Hope that helps.

Yup that's what i thought of.. but other station on other system.. but how i travel with out other system by the normal drive?

How i use stardrive? I click on other system. and click stardrive. It only says "Your stardrive has a maximum range of 4 parsecs" And nothing.......?
