Hello there folks! So, Techniques and Tips is a board that the TB were nice enough to set up for us to share information with each other on how to do this and that in game. Problem is, well things are crowded in the forum and it can be a little hard to find the information you need. What's the solution? Well, I've decided to try to consolidate the information and guides out there into a single thread, this one! I'll post links to all the guides out there and it will (hopefully) allow you guys to easily find the information you need. Do I have everything here? Nope, not even close, but I went back a couple pages in the T&T forum and tried to find the things thatwere the most helpful. If I'm missing something here, I'm very sorry about that. Message me and I'll add it up ASAP. I'll try to keep this post relatively up to date, so scroll down to the bottom of this post to see when the last update happened.The guides will be listed like this;Title of the guide (author of the guide)Hopefully that'll let new players contact the right people with questions if there is anything they are not clear on in the guide. If there is no author listed then the thread is a discussion thread and you should just comb through it for information.) goes into great detail about whacking xeno and gives lots of good tips for boarders.provides some good detail in the second post A list of good trade routes .

General tips on trading , you should look particularly at's post which is the 7th post for good trade routes.
