You finally decide on the life of a mercenary, working for other larger companies to earn a keep in the wide area of space known as Evochron. It's not an easy life you're sure, but it's worth while and a good way to increase your reputation with the various companies out there. The first thing your decide to do is open your inventory panel in your flight screen and look around it.
You can see all your holdings on that single screen and it is a pretty sobering thought. You have spent a lot of money getting set up and now you only have 40,000 credits to your name, the ship and the basic kit they installed for you. You think about buying a few items that might come in handy, like an improved Shield Boost and a Mining/Tractor beam for picking up dropped cargo to sell. Then you notice the "Available Contracts" button on the display. You selected it and the screen changes slightly.
There are a few contracts available that tickle your fancy to try, blowing some asteroids out of the sky sounds like an easy buck to you as well as racing and the occasional dropping off of cargo or cleaning solar arrays. You know you have to start small to get your reputation with the large companies going and to learn the ropes as you go.
