	Since we need to trade for some duranium, first we need something to sell, for this we are going to collect some deuterium with one of our ships. Generally deuterium is collected with deuterium tankers, however any ship which has bussard collectors can collect some - in this example we used the [[Oberth]] class exploration ship, your [[DY-500]] class colonisation ship would also work. Deuterium can only be collected in certain sectors, and different sectors will result in different amounts of deuterium.

Therefore to collect the deuterium we first need to find one of these and fly to it.
		+
		+	Luckily in the [[Beginners Zone]] there are a significant number of dense deuterium nebulae so finding one should be relatively easy, check the LRS of your ship and if you can see a dense deuterium nebula click on it to fly there. If you can't see a dense deuterium nebula click a couple of sectors away from your planet to fly there and your LRS should show some new sectors - one of these will probably be a deuterium nebula.
		+
		+	Now you've arrived at a nebula its time to collect deuterium. To do this click on the "Bussard Collectors" button on the gas density row of the ship controls:
		+
		+	[[File:BussardCollectorButton.png\|link=]]
		+
		+	A screen should then appear to ask how much energy you wish to use to collect the deuterium, in this case just click max and the ship will collect enough to fill its cargo hold.

		+	'''Helm Control'''<br>
		+	An alternative option for flying, helm control allows you to travel a set number of sectors in a straight line - the amount of sectors travelled can be changed by the warp factor drop down box. Helm control also features a "Fly To" box for feature pack users allowing them to enter a set of coordinates and the system will then fly to that location. Underneath helm control is a button for ship preferences - this allows things like renaming the ship or setting a ship message, and below this is the stellar cartography button which allows you to explore the map without needing to move your ship.
