== Take it easy == Failure on your first [[captain]] is just the beginning. Each new captain gives you a chance to explore different builds and strategies, and you will likely start over many times. Try a non-combat build. Get some experience with [[trading]] and the complex game systems before focusing on [[Ship Combat|battle]]. Start with Demanding [[Game Difficulty|difficulty]] or below. At Hard difficulty and above, your Captain is no longer invincible. Mistakes can be costly and frustrating. Don't just blame the [[Dice Mechanics|dice]], learn how to stack the rolls in your favor and be prepared for failure. Don't rush through and hope for the best. It's important to make wise choices, so take the time to read and understand what is going on. You almost always have options. Even when it looks bleak, there still might be a way out. Digging your way out of a challenging situation can be very rewarding. Details matter. Don't just skip over [[Missions|mission]] text, [[rumors]] or events; you will make better decisions with more information. Don't push your limits. [[Water-Fuel|Refuel]] before you get low. Always visit the [[doctor]] and [[spice]] hall when available. Avoid [[ship combat]] unless you have a good selection of Ship Combat [[talents]] available (buffing, debuffing, repair), and are not outclassed (check opposing ship details). If a rumor or conflict such as a [[Conflicts|trade ban]], embargo, enemy fleet event is blocking your progress, go to [[Factions|independent]] worlds, do missions, or go [[exploring]] while you wait for it to expire.
