Engines and cargo were my main priorities. Then weapons. Then armor and shields. I have been doing things in a bit of moderation though.

I focused on Shielding, Personnel, and Combat Tactics, then moved to Engines and Cargo

For a pirate a good first point of focus is researching Advanced Cargo Bays. Having somewhere to put all the loot is mighty handy.
It might surprise some people but weapons research is fairly low down on my list, since I get to pick and choose who i engage with.

ya i noticed that cargo bays just are a good time investment.
currently i have tier 4 cargo tier 2 science tier 5 viper squad tier 3 worm hole generator and tier 3 ftl.
up grading science bay helps a lot with getting more well every thing.

There is a difference between researching something and actually upgrading a module.
Research Cargo untill you can build AdvCargo Bays. But your better off investing your money in increasing your ship size and using Mark-1 modules to increase cargo capactiy and then build AdvCAB's when youve reserached them than making a CAB-3 or 4. Same goes for SLB's use more SLB's rather than higher level SLB's

and remember, it's cheaper to manufacture a module than it is to buy one from SOL...

Unless of course your buying a pre-made module at Earth. That is actually a little cheaper. |

It is cheaper when your mining the material yourself and then putting it together lol. Your going to have to make most of your modules anyways.

even then for example manufacturing CAB costs 1050$, 50$ more than buying

I used the old saying "In order to make money, you need money" and
invested in Science 1st, followed by Mining and Cargo Bays
The Science assisted me in researching the others.

With science in the beginning I have used just MK 1 labs. Hell most of mine are still those. I will be upgrading those soon though. When it comes to areas of focus, i focus on science labs the least. At the moment though I can build MK 20 Labs though.

When you have a decent mining source for the material needed for manufacturing a particular module. Or at least 1 of the resources. Anything that off-sets the cost of buying them all from SOL will make it cheaper. |
