Good point Hollywood, which brings me to my next suggestion, a Trade wars for newbies start up list. including what not to do, as a newbie. you can probly think of 5 things you see most newbies do wrong, just learning to interact in the game, let alone how to make a citadel, get commision,etc.
heh... hmm off the top of my head:
1) Blind Warp (you got to have a fig in the sector you want to transwarp to, theres one exception, but for the interest of the newbs who read this, i won't go into that in this msg)
2) Exchange Starter Ship (When a game starts the ship your in usually sucks, try to get to SD immediatly and trade it in for the best ship you can afford with the lowest turns/highest holds ratio.)
3) T-warp Colonizing (Unless your in a 30k or unlimited turn game, etc, you should take advantage of beamer/transporters on your citadels, by using those to beam to terra, then t-warp back with the colo's you shave 3 turns off your trip in a 4tpw iss)
4) SCAN SCAN SCAN (You should have a holographic scanner as soon as possible, always density scan any sector your warping to. as a general rule 100 density is a port, and 0 is nothing (tho someone can setup a decoy 100 density) , anything else such as 105, or 5, or what not is something you may not want to warp into. If in dought holoscan.)
5) Deployed Fighter Polocies (This kinda is an extension of the above to a degree. Unless your playing against people who are all your friends, and you are ohhh so friendly with each other, never pay a toll, kill the fig and as fast as possible if your going to warp into the sector, and this goes for any fighter type. Otherwise you may end up loosing your turns to a photon, getting attacked, or having a lvl 4+ planet dropped on you. If your really new and don't know how to avoid these kinds of attacks its probably best to avoid any enemy fig sectors if possible, unless that team is offline.)
I'm sure theres more but you asked for 5
