Next, head back to Texas and fly to either of the prisons there to either take missions collecting pods from Liberty Rogues, Xenos and selling them back to the prisons for big money. Next, head to Detroit Munitions and get some good shield busters, preferably two of them.(keep them on your lower lvl gun slots, you'll see why in a second) NOW, head to the Bering system just past the Texas system to the Freeport there.(watch your 6, the Unioners are pretty ruthless and very tough at your current level) MAX out your Defender with the thruster, shields, mines, CMs and weapons you find there, try to keep your shield busters on your lower level gun slots while the heavy Zoner guns go in the lvl 5 slots. If you want to earn cash the HARD WAY through bounties, missions and so forth, you'll want to head directly to Battleship Missouri in the New York system and buy a Defender. Take advantage of some of the maps I have to find the fastest and (hopefully) best paying routes! Visiting many bases is the best way to find the best routes, always!

Later you can venture out to other systems, get a better cargo ship and expand your trade routes. If you want to earn cash the easy way through trading, buy a Rhino and start running good paying routes in New York and surrounding systems, the starting amount of cash should get you sufficient armament and enough capital to start making short range trade runs. My best advice to all new CF singleplayers/multiplayers going solo is this:
