                      For extra cash :-
                      Buy extra passenger cabins, go to bulletin board and 
                        accept passengers. Then, try to buy another ship. It will 
                        be refused, but the difference in price between your ship 
                        will be given to you - so try to buy a cheaper ship!
                      To warp further than possible with Hyberdrive :-
                      Choose a system really far from you with Shift-cursor 
                        keys. You'll be indicated: nn tons required", "Out 
                        of range", "nn tons required". Now warp 
                        to where you really wanted to go, using same trick, and 
                        warp again.

                        A few tips obtained via the Internet from David Mackintosh.
                      I have found.. (or maybe someone else did first but I 
                        dind't hear
                        about it).. a Brilliant trading route which is totaly 
                        safe! the
                        route is :
                      1: Go to sol (system)
                      2: Sell all equipment except for autopilot nav computer 
                        and
                        atmospheric shielding.
                      3: Buy enough fuel for a trip to Bernards star (near 
                        Sol)
                      4: Fill up remaining cargo space with luxury goods
                      5: Hyperspace to Bernards star
                      6: Go to a station (I used miller depot)
                      7: Sell all luxury goods
                      8: Buy enough fuel for a trip back to Sol.
                      9: Fill up remaining space on Robots or Computers
                      10: Hyperspace to Sol
                      11: Sell Robots or Computers for huge profit. (look on 
                        bulletin board
                        for special buyers)
                      12: Repeat until very rich.

                      Usually, they will not come out on the exact time.. if 
                        you wait later, about 3 or 4 minutes, sometimes they come 
                        out.. I've had someone come out much later, and MY problem 
                        is that they jump into hyperspace immediately. However 
                        sometimes I try to launch a missile at them, and as SOON 
                        as I launch, there is an explosion, (my missile exploding 
                        right in front of me, and its not a result of ecm either) 
                        and then he disapears.. no hyperspace cloud or anything.. 
                        but about 5 miles out there is debris.. metal alloys.. 
                        I'd return to collect my bounty, and they say that they 
                        are disappointed etc.. Its pissing me off because I can't 
                        do any assasinations whatsoever! I too have it patched.
