	Your starting weapons have horrible accuracy. Try going on night missions at the start.

	Don't hesitate to abort a mission if it looks unwinnable. Sometimes it's better to just kill whoever's near the LZ, grab their loot and run.

	Bows and other indirect fire weapons can be really useful early on, don't be afraid to give gals with good throwin' grenades, throwin' knives, or even rocks, especially on Ratmen Rodeos! It is also wise, regardless of throwin' skil, to keep a couple of Molotovs on each of your gals, as fire causes panic, ignores armor and is especially deadly to early game bosses, give them a taste of the dragon's breath!

Bloodraven117: /* Early Game */ Corrected false numbers for terror missions. -100 means its better to ignore pogroms instead of making an appearance and then immediately leaving. Updated research tree to recruitment, added warning without spoilers to the two options. Updated other warnings and tips, added flavor.

	There are many different enemies and environments in X-Piratez, which require a large variety of equipment. There is no 80 item limit on your craft, so stuff everything you could possibly need in, and make use of the inventory save/load function.

	Don't hesitate to abort a mission if it looks unwinnable. Sometimes it's better to just kill whoever's near the LZ, grab their loot and run. OTOH, most weapons can be used without being researched, so use that loot to try and win the mission.		Don't hesitate to abort a mission if it looks unwinnable.

	Bows and other indirect fire weapons can be really useful early on, especially on Ratmen Rodeos~~. Also~~, keep a couple of Molotovs on your gals, as ~~they are~~ the ~~quickest way to kill drones and cause panic.~~ Furthermore on Ratmen ~~Rodeo missions~~ be sure to bring a gal or two armed with hammers or pickaxes to destroy walls that Enemies may be stuck behind.		Bows and other indirect fire weapons can be really useful early on, don't be afraid to give gals with good throwin' grenades, throwin' knives, or even rocks, especially on Ratmen Rodeos! It is also wise, regardless of throwin' skil, to keep a couple of Molotovs on each of your gals, as fire causes panic, ignores armor and is especially deadly to early game bosses, give them a taste of the dragon's breath! Furthermore on Ratmen Rodeos, and even on most other quests, be sure to bring a gal or two armed with hammers or pickaxes to destroy walls that Enemies may be stuck behind, or to bypass troublesome choke points.

	~~Furthermore~~ you will eventually access space missions, one of these missions, "Disruptive Transmissions" is VERY dangerous for the two gals you will likely send, so make sure you have space suits and laser weapons for them to fight with. Ignoring Disruptive Transmissions will incur a penalty.		As you develop your pirate crew into a mean lean fighting machine, you will eventually access space missions, one of these missions, "Disruptive Transmissions" is VERY dangerous for the two to five gals you will likely send, so make sure you have space suits and laser weapons for them to fight with. Ignoring Disruptive Transmissions will incur a penalty.
