		+	You have probably used up the majority of your extra ticks getting to this point and will not have enough duranium to construct any more buildings until there is another tick, therefore in the next chapter we will be looking at ships and trading at a supply station to obtain more duranium so we can advance faster.

-	You start the game with a single DY-500 class "Colony ship". Your ship overview shows you where your ship is: in this example, the ship is in Sector 514\|503. Your ships start just above your home colony. After the location, you can also see other key pieces of information about your ship. From left to right, these are: the amount of energy the ship has: 50, the amount of deuterium on board (fuel): 123, the number of crew on board: 12, and the amount of food on board: 15. A colony ship can carry up to 20 people, and it allows you create new colonies elsewhere, and 'beam' down goods and people to get them started. "Beaming" down is a well-known mode of transport used in the science-fiction series Star Trek, and it uses energy. Your colony ship can beam 20 goods or 4 crew per unit of energy, to and from the colony.
-
-	Remember that on every 'tick' ship crews and colony inhabitants consume food, and ships burn fuel. (Ticks occur at 12, 15, 18, 21 and 23:30 UK time). Every 5 crew on a ship, or inhabitants on a colony will eat 1 unit of food (rounded up - in this case, 12 crew will eat 3 food per tick). And the reactor on your Colony ship will convert deuterium to energy at a rate of 1 fuel to 1 energy. A Colony ship's reactor can generate up to 10 energy per tick, and its solar cells can generate up to 4 energy more if in orbit of a planet. Always make sure your ships and colonies have enough food and deuterium aboard. If there is no fuel, the reactor will not generate energy. If there is no food, energy will be used to run the replicators (1 energy per food needed). But if the ship has no replicators (or no energy to run them) then the crew will abandon ship!

-	~~==Finding an Alliance==~~
-	~~You're now almost ready to advance to level 6 and leave the beginners zone, while we wait for a few ticks to build up a small stockpile of resources its time to look at alliances.~~
-
-	The majority of active players in STNE are members of an alliance, however it is not a requirement and it is possible (although generally more difficult) to be a successful independent player. Even if you wish to become an independent player it is still worth looking at the [[Political Map of the Galaxy]] so see where different alliances are located. This is because some alliances will not take kindly to new players moving into space they have claimed, so if you want to be independent its best to find a set of coordinates in neutral space to move to.
-
-	~~[[File:JHQg4AA.png\|link=\|600px]]~~
-
-	If you are interested in joining an alliance check out the guide on [[Guide:Finding the Right Alliance\|finding the right alliance for me]], which goes lists all of the major alliances and alliance blocks and what kind their focus is - be it trading, military, raiding, training new players etc.
-
-	If you've found an alliance you want to join, go ahead and send an IGM to their leader (or recruitment player if one is listed on the alliance page) asking if you'd be able to join. Once you've joined an alliance they should be able to give you coordinates in their space to move to. This will avoid any costly relocations at a later date.
-
-	~~==Upgrading to Level 6==~~
-	~~Before you upgrade to level 6 make sure you've done all these things~~
-
-	*Built up a small stockpile of [[Plasteel]] and [[Duranium]] - This will come in very useful for building up your next colonies
-	*Joined an alliance or found some coordinates in neutral space to move to
-	*Used up all your extra ticks - you will not get extra ticks after you upgrade and any remaining extra ticks will be lost
-	*Gained at least 800 experience - it is not possible to upgrade to level without this
-
-	~~Now you've met all the requirements its time to upgrade to level 6 and move out of the beginners zone. There are three ways to do this:~~
-
-	*Click https://game.en.stne.net/i/b/up.gif <font color="#FFCC00">[</font><u><font color="#33FF33">Upgrade level</font></u><font color="#FFCC00">]</font> at the top of the page
-	*Go to the main screen and click <font color="#FFCC00">[</font><u><font color="#33FF33">Request higher level</font></u><font color="#FFCC00">]</font>
-	*Go to <font color=#777777>"Help" --> "Apply for a higher level"</font>
-
-	All of these options will take you to a screen where you can input the coordinates to move to, you should input the coordinates for your alliance space or neutral space and then click <font color=#777777>"Move to desired coordinates"</font>. It is also possible to move to a random position, however this is not recommended.
