Greetings, fellow space travelers! Just finished the academy, and doing some exploring and mining to build up a little cash... One odd thing I've noticed, and wondered if there's a reason for it? You can't BUY any armor or shields at Sol? You've got to learn how to build them yourself, and that seems to take a lot more "science" than us newbies get. Is that intentional?

Look forward to meeting you in game!
