Just a quick heads-up to say... don't look up the videos on "top ships" or "top moneymaking schemes", etc. YouTube is full of these kinds of videos, and they obviously spoil the fun of exploration and discovery. We didn't even look up flying tutorials before trying to fly ysignal's ship, and we still did alright. We got it off the ground! (even though we didn't get far).
So we'll only be looking up guides when absolutely necessary, or when we've ALREADY done something, just to make sure we didn't miss anything. When in doubt, DON'T WATCH IT, and just ask me about it in this thread.
