Lander stabilization key: ------------------ Use the stabilization key even while flying to keep yourself from tumbling out of control--especially after getting hit by weapons fire. Fuel efficiency: ---------------- Your first improvements to your lander should be in fuel efficiency, because you will find yourself burning a lot of fuel in the early stages of the game getting the hang of your lander. Nasty crashes: -------------- Be careful to compensate for the weight of whatever is in your tractor beam, and not to get it caught on objects. This can cause nasty crashes.
