I had a standard set of moves that worked pretty well in SR2 but are partially broken by Reboot. It goes something like this (from dusty memory):
1. Pick the rocket launcher bonus during setup.
2. Save at start. Fly directly to the medical base. If you can, take something to up your charisma or super tech.
3. Fly to the plague planet to-be (e.g Venus). Ask for a mission. You get the real-time training mission. Collect money. Buy meds and store in warehouse.
4. Fly to training coordinator and start tutorial. Leave heavy stuff there.
5. Fly to medical base and buy meds.
6. Fly back to plague planet with meds. Sell these meds and the meds in storage. Buy all the equipment you can.
7. Shuttle loads of equipment around selling all you can and buying more at plague-planet until this no longer makes money.
8. If you can afford it buy any useful probes you can, now.
9. Run mineral collection tutorial but you should have already been grabbing and selling any minerals you see.
10. Run the IPX-437 tutorial over and over until you get the little Singular engine and fuel tank. (This does not seem to work in Reboot.)
11. Fly back to science base and upgrade this engine and fuel tank.
12. Return to trainer and start your career as a ranger.
13. Take FedEx and text missions while also searching planets. One text mission you really want early is the ski resort mission. This has a 10,000 cr bonus that will make you the richest ranger out there.
14 Keep running missions but start fighting Dominators asap. You want to be building experience and advancing in rank. If you are comfortable with the real-time missions by all means take them. They pay very well.
15. Use stimulators but always keep track and save just before. That way you can back up and redo if you get addicted.
16. Keep track of where you see equipment you want to buy. Early in the game 3 cr is a lot. Save, search, reload.
P.S. If anyone has any Reboot-specific opening moves, please post.
