The distance between two star systems is too large to be conveniently crossed by regular means. The FTL engine is a critical ship module that allows a contractor to cross that gap in seconds. Star that are close enough for a jump appears bigger than star that are further away. To jump there, aim at the star, then hold [key.Travel], the key assigned to the Travel skill. A FTL jump is a dangerous process. To preserve the ship from harm, the contractor should use the mag-plasma shield integrated to its FTL engine. Such a shield consume mag-plasma. It is possible to choose how much mag-plasma to use before jumping with the mouse wheel, but using less than the amount required will almost always result in costly damages. Some path for FTL travel will be under the effect of a jump modifier that alter the way the FTL jump function, and might make travel more difficult. Contractor will have to discover these modifiers themselves. The quadrant is cut into sectors. Each sector has an exploration level, that restricts travel within to contractors having reached this exploration level.

[DEPRECATED explain : - how to find and scan gravite - there exist different kind of gravite that will behave differently

[DEPRECATED explain : - What affect temperature ? - How does it kill you (ship and persona)? - how to get protection ?

[TODO explain : - How and why to land the ship (maybe could be merged with ship controls ?)

With a mining laser equipped on your ship, gather various ores by aiming toward a resource node and holding [key.Mine], the key assigned to the laser mining skill. Each resource node has a mining tier, that determine its toughness. The mining laser mining tier must match the one from the node to be able to mine it effectively. Every node is formed by a unique blend of ore, but it might also contains a few rare finds.

Exploring a planet is the process of identifying all resource nodes present on its surface. Resource nodes will require the use of a scanner the first time they are encountered to be identified. To scan a resource node, aim toward it and hold [key.Scan], the key assigned to the Scan skill. It will then become available to mine with the proper equipment. Most planet have natural Landmarks, that can often been seen from space, and may contains unique resource node that cannot be found anywhere else on the planet. Both exploring a planet and identifying new resource nodes with the scanalyzer give Exploration Experience, that will eventually unlock a new Contractor Level. Each Exploration level allow the contractor to go farther into the quadrant and unlock new recipes and abilities that helps with exploration.

Contractors might find complexes belonging to various factions on the surface of planets. These mostly buried facilities are accessible through a surface elevator, that may sometimes be locked by an access key. Such area contain restricted data that you need to find to complete the area. Leaving the area without completing it first will reset the contractor's inventory to its state before entering. A completed area can no longer be visited.

Some items can be studied in the laboratory. Depending on the item, several levels of study might be available, each requiring a certain amount of copy of the item. Once the necessary items are delivered, the Laboratory automatically studies them. The contractor has to get back to the laboratory later to obtain the results. Each level of study unlocks new crafting recipes using the item, and gives Science Experience, that will eventually unlock a new contractor level. Science levels give access to the creation of powerful exotic resources used by every contractors in the quadrant.

Orient your ship with the mouse. Hold [key.Forward] to accelerate until your ship reaches its maximum speed. Once at max speed, you can release [key.Forward] and keep steering your ship with the mouse. Hold [key.Booster] to use your ship's booster and reach even higher speeds, at the cost of increased power consumption and increased heat generation. Press [key.Backward] to decelerate or move backwards. In a planet’s atmosphere, hold [key.Descend] and [key.Ascend] to control your ship's altitude and [key.Left] and [key.Right] to strafe left and right.
