SR2 Reboot: Are the first years always slow?

[modo]

A couple of tricks are to do easy missions (take the easy option for ship and syetem defences as these are often in the begining and the techs are not so advanced as to pose a problem).

Sure, the money and exp are not as good but you can do alot of them quickly and safely (the short time means you've got good chances of succeding without having to babysit the target ship / system and can concentrate on other things).

Blowing asteroids will also get you money (both from selling them and the rewards from planets).

Try to visit each system that had dominator attacks, at about six months apart planetary combat can be found on them. It gives you more money and exp than any other type of mission.
