   When you destroy an enemy, some of its cargo is left behind, which you can collect and sell.
   - BUT before that, sign up for a "Quest" that gives you EXTRA Credits, Uridium & Experience points for collecting rocks & destroying alien ships. , (Which actually can be a relatively short amount of time if you use your lasers a lot). ,, (you start there and it is not easy to forget where it is.) it will be a giant Blue square ,, This resource becomes useful when and if you are killed, to repair your damaged ship.
   
   Alternatively, you can buy a different ship or take the starter ship (phoenix) which is free ,, One of the main reasons this game is fun to play is because you are constantly upgrading and maintaining your ship. , Remember that there are two sources of income, Uridium is better than credits because it's much more valuable and can be used to buy better quality items, but it's harder to obtain.
   
   Spend it wisely. , Update your Skylab modules to mine and produce the minerals, then transfer the high value minerals to your ship and sell them.
   
   With enough in game credits you do not need Uridium.
   
   You can buy anything in the Trade window with enough in game credits.
