Hi lazer, welcome aboard. Sorry that the startup can be a bit confusing - its a big old game and we dont write enough good help guides :] Don't worry tho - everyone goes thru it :]
1. where is Biplaneworld? can i go there?
I think biplaneworld is offline at the mo. Where did you read about it? (Theres probably some out of date docs that need updating)
2. wheres the spaceport?
They'll be on the planets - but some planets won't have em. They're not used much right now (But will be in the next version or two).
3. my star drive is limited to 4 parsecs, so i cannot mmove more than between 2 star systems
You need to earn cash and buy a stardrive L8 to move past the first 2 systems.. or.. see 5)
4. i can only buy 1 ship, the cargo trader
Again, you need to earn cash by doing trade runs to earn enough money for different ships.
5. the infinite probability drive costs 171 credits, on the game manual it said one was "relativley cheap"
You might be able to find it a bit cheaper if you hunt around a bit.. but it is still cheap (relative to the amount of money most ppl have :] )
and 6. how do i make the fipro display more than 5-7 planets?
You cant. That is what the infimp drive is for.
no way to get money in space i get a space craftcargo trader and then when i got it i buy food stuffs and....
You should definitely read the space trading guide on the help menu. Water is usually a good item to start with as its in high demand and usually theres places that sell quite cheap.
If you have no money left now, it might be an idea to do !resetme to restart your galaxy character. You'll restart with 100cr - with that, buy the ship, some water, and go make yourself a profit. It soon adds up.

I would not buy a infimp drive before a cargo transport but I'm completly sure you can find an infimp for 50 credits or less. I don't think you even need to hunt around.


welcome to the game...hope you like it

Did you check the...um...main system Cirrus Minor for the infimp?..The trading guide is at the help menu in the top left corner of the client.
