View source for Zeren's Tips & Tricks

Below is an info dump of all the fancy tips & tricks I've accumulated throughout several years of spinning in [[Sol]]. Hopefully these will help you out somehow. Enjoy! (Page is still a work in progress)

== UI ==

=== Useful Chat Commands ===
<BR>
See also: [[Ingame Command List]]
<BR>
* '''/help''' - Shows you all the chat commands usable in-game.
* '''/mc [Item Name]''' - Does a 'market check' on the item, showing you its current prices on the marketplace. This will be your bread and butter for buying/selling anything.
* '''/ap [Galaxy Name]''' - Autopilots you to [Galaxy Name]. Put double quotation marks before and after [Galaxy Name] if the name has a ' in it. <BR>(Example: /ap "Iq' Bana")
* '''/avoid [Galaxy Name]''' - Removes the galaxy from any future autopilot routes. Can be undone by typing in the command again.
* '''/avoid [Team Name]''' - Removes all galaxies owned by [Team Name] from your autopilot routes. Can also be undone.
* '''/showdamage''' - Shows the amount of damage your weapons are dealing.
* '''/showbotdamage''', '''/showdronedamage''', '''/showbasedamage''' - Shows the amount of damage your assets are dealing.
* '''/showsquaddamage''' - Shows how much damage each person in your squad is dealing.
* '''/showpain''' - Shows how much damage you're receiving.
* '''/age''' - Displays how much time you've wasted on this game. Might cause an existential crisis under certain circumstances.
* '''/f''' - Did your UI bug out? Having some connection problems? Try typing this in. Refreshes the client without exiting it.

=== Fancy Controls ===

* Hold down [Shift] + [Alt] to drag the camera around. Re-center the camera by double clicking with the keys held down.
* [Shift] + [S] key to auto-brake. Moving your ship will toggle it off.
* [Shift] + [Spacebar] to auto-fire. Pressing spacebar again will toggle it off.
* You can cycle through targets in reverse by pressing [Shift] + [Q, Z, Tab, Ctrl or whatever]. Extremely useful when going through shops.

=== Efficient Inventory Management ===

* Hold down [Shift] to select multiple rows of items in one go.
* Hold down [Ctrl] to select multiple items separately.
* Combine [Shift] + [Ctrl] to select multiple rows of items separately. Maximum efficiency.
* You can pin items to your ship by right clicking on them and selecting 'Pin Item'. This will prevent them from being tossed or transferred. Use in combination with the [Shift] and [Ctrl] keys for absolute satisfaction.
* You can search for [[Modifications|modded items]] by simply typing the mod name into the search bar.
* You can also search for items with certain tags on them, such as <span style="color:#9ACD32">[Lyceum Diploma Blueprint].</span>

== Equipment ==


=== Transwarp Devices ===

* Basically the fast travel feature of Star Sonata. You can jump to [[Warp Beacon|Warp Beacons]] with these. Purchasable via mission in [[Beta Antares]].  
* [[Fleet Commander|Fleet Commanders]] can warp their squad by using squadron transwarp devices. You can find them at the Fleet Shipyards base in [[Lyceum]].
* Can be substituted by committing [[Suicide]] and towing if it's not at full charge yet.

=== Microwarp Devices ===

=== Neurotweaks ===

[[Tweaks]] will make your life better. Here is a list of the most commonly used tweaks.
* [[Neurotweaks#Ace in a Pill|Ace in a Pill]] series: Boosts your speed, thrust, turning and docking speed. Also reduces your weight!
* Blockers: Sacrifices your RoF and shield recharge in exchange for a brief moment of massively buffed resistances.
* 

=== Tractors ===
