 It's not bad, but it's not good. There were just not enough times where I was able to take advantage of an opening. However, if you do see an break in the enemies' defenses, feel free to attack, chances are you'll wreak some havoc.

	(Ŧ€5)) Leveling		(Ŧ€5)) Leveling
		+	Leveling with slaves allows you to bypass all but one part: the Preload levels.
		+
		+	Leveling alone, however, is different. So I have illustrated my way of leveling without help from others.
		+
		+	Preload:
		+	Flylet Broodship till I reach level 5 or until I wish to stop gaining augmenters. Do not ask to complete the mission unless you are absolutely sure you are going to get out preload! Also, be sure you complete the Mining missions for a Mining Laser Deluxe.
		+
		+	Relative time: Not long
		+
		+	Nexus:
		+	Missions, killing Volcoms, and killing rats until I reach level 8 or 10.
		+
		+	Relative time: Twice as long as Preload
		+
		+	Universe (8-15):
		+	Destroying Serenities with Preload's Mining Laser Deluxe, destroying Volcoms, destroying Flyswatter Maggots with a tier 2 weapon.
		+
		+	Relative time: The bulk of the time
		+
		+	Universe (15-17)
		+
		+	Destroying Serenities, Flyswatter Flylets and Flyboys, Mini Kaspers, Space Blue Alphas (do not shoot the scouts, they are strong)
		+
		+	Relative time: Not long
		+
		+	Universe (17-20)
		+
		+	Destroying Serenities, Flyswatters, Mini Kaspers, Space Blue Alphas, Goldenboy Coins and Statues, Goblins

 (Ŧ5))Leveling as an F2P may be long and easy or short and harsh. I, as a promoter of quick leveling, have listed my leveling doctrine for your speedy benefits:
 Leveling off Ragnarocks by multiclienting a level 20 slaver and another character almost always gets 510 exp.
-Ragnarocks are often found in east W1.
 Anything that is not a Ragnarock, Serenity, Goblin, Space Blue Faction, or Goldenboy is not worth killing.
-Use an Overcoat+ and Hulett radar+ on everything that has less than 200 vis!
 In Earthforce Trading Outpost, kill the flylet broodship whenever you have the chance for about 100 experience.

 (Ŧ€4)) Setup Creation (indepth notes)(excludes drone deployment and remote control)
 Level 10: Weapons (and piloting if you can)
 Level 9: Weapons, piloting
 Level 8: Shielding
 Level 7: Weapons, shielding, piloting
 Level 6: Weapons, shielding, piloting
 Level 5: Weapons (borders usefulness), piloting, equipment
 Level 4: Weapons, piloting (to an extent), energy (borders usefulness), shielding, equipment
 Level 3: Energy (borders usefulness)
 Level 2: Weapons, engine, energy, radar (borders usefulness), shielding, cloaking (specialized), Warp Navigation (specialized)
 Level 1: Radar, Warp Navigation
 Level 0: Shielding, cloaking, radar, Warp Navigation (borders usefulness)
 Engines 3 and above is superfluous, the Engines Rebalance essentially removed the need to pick the best engine possible.
 Weapons are generally arranged into three groups: Level 10, 9, and 4. Level 10 weapons are powerful but specialized (extreme knockback, extreme damage, extreme range), level 9 weapons are all-around useful, level 4 weapons are just as strong as level 9 weapons in terms of potential.
 Radar is useless, I only use it to get the Tibsi radar
 Equipment is gamebreaking, Gear Glue is a must, the Overloader Rapid is an incredible force multiplier, the Liberty Shield Capacitors are cheap but powerful, etc.
 Energy is a minor but important asset. The Faranji Force/Energy 1 and 2 and Vazaha Flicker Cluster energies are amazing for both their buffs and potential.
 Piloting is an important part of Star Sonata's F2P dimension. The Faranji Wingship is an embodiement of twilight, the Pax Prismatica is a layer of death, the Hotrod+ is a speaker of many languages, and the Banshee+ is a silent sentinel.
 Warp Navigation is SS's version of a 'tech tree,' it allows F2Ps to specialize into unnamed classes (defined later).
 Cloaking is a specializer: once trained it will make and break your character.
 Shielding, like energy, is a minor subject. There are three basic types of shield levels in the F2P world: Speed, bank, and stealth. Speed protects the brawlers, bank embodies the droners, stealth defends the ninjas.
 Level 9 is generally the roof for F2P skills. Level 10 leads to the total destruction of one aspect of a normal character.
 Level 8 in most skills is completely useless due to the lack of content. However, the shields are nice.
 Level 7 survives by a thread: some ships are amazing (i.e. Banshee), some weapons are amazing (i.e. Rinduan Misslecannon), some shields are amazing (i.e. Prism series)
 Level 6 is like level 7, it hangs by a thread because of several grest weapons.
 Level 5 has the Hotrod+, Undead dungspray, and Overloader Rapid: three of the most useful F2P items.
 Level 4 is the epitome of F2P usefulness (in terms of equippable items).
 Level 3 lives because of the Whiskey and Nexus series of items.
 Level 2 is like level 4: the content is amazing (Vazaha Shields, general equipment, Jelly items, Uncirculator+, Warp Navigation 2 skills)
 Level 1 serves to hold the Tibsi radar, an energy regeneration boosting radar.
 Level 0 contains the specialized Faranji Supreme Defense. It's the Deadstop of level 0 (3.62k bank, 0 regen)

 Nowadays, it might be a great idea to choose an engine with a small size requirement; the Ganglite Push Alpha is my recommendation.
 Of course, extra turning or thrust wouldn't hurt, but the extra nimbleness won't really affect anything (flanking is rare in the F2P world)
 (Ŧ€2)) Unneeded skills
 The Engine Rebalance had a side affect: the Zen of the Spin skill is no longer a usable skill in the F2P realm.
 I am unable to decide what skill should replace my former recommendation, so you will have to figure out your play styles and make changes yourself.
 (Ŧ€3)) Multiclienting
 Multiclienting greatly increases your power. You can spread out damage, you can drop more drones, you can create a wave of undodgeable energy pulses.
@@ Line 39: / Line 41: @@
 Multiclienting will require a guide of it's own, a guide that is currently undeveloped.
 The basics of multiclienting includes the use of Alt-Tabbing and awareness over every character though.
