Taking your time has its merit in this field of work, and this method is the second most used method for space salvaging. Your station has enough supplies to provide you with the ability to create your own little science lab, where you can turn your ship into a fully functional micro-station. //include image of Black Market Burst in same way Alex Rosewalt sets up black market burst// | Taking your time has its merit in this field of work, and this method is the second most used method for space salvaging.

Black Market Burst
The Black Market Burst is the heart and soul of your work. Without your ship, you wont be able to do much. Make sure it is protected at all costs //include image of blackmarket burst here for reference image// You and your ship will be spawned on an asteroid in the middle of nowhere space. Weather you call this your station, your home, or your hideout is up to you, but in the end it is a place of respite and calm where you can ~~stash valuable and illegal things~~ go back to and relax.
Preparations are key
Preparing for your adventure is key. While you may have a gun and a ship, you are not invincible, no matter how much you think you are. There are multiple strategies to going on your space adventures, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.
Get up and go
Arguably the fastest method, the strategy is simple. Grab your gun, suit, tools and ammo, and start searching the cosmos. When doing this you will quickly get into space and be able to find POI's very quickly, however it does also make you vulnerable. You will not have much support, and you will rely on the space gods to provide you with iron to supply your autolathe at home for ammo, and medical supplies to supply your slowly dying body. You will beat people who go from the station to space, but should you perish, your own hope is that ~~the admins are feeling kind~~ someone from the station finds and saves you. Not a recommended strategy for someone who is not confident in their skills as a space explorer.
Slow is Smooth

Strategy, tips, advice
The fact that you are in space, alone, and without help, means that you need to be your own station. You cannot rely on anyone to give you the aid you may need in the vastness of space.
- Trying to grab medical supplies should always be high on your priority list. Ensuring that your health is maxed at all times can be the difference between suffocating on the floor of your ship alone, or barely scraping by enough to heal yourself properly.
- Ensuring your ammo is topped up and always ready to go is vital. The last possible thing you want to have happen, is being moments away from killing a syndicate gunner, only to hear the most horrible, and dreaded click...
- Knowing your locations and what is dangerous and what is useless is excellent knowledge to keep. See a large syndicate looking base? Consider if you have the right weapons, ammo, and skill to get through it, or if you should skip it entirely.
- Knowing how to properly explore space will give you the best chance to get everything you need. Using "page up" and "page down" on your keyboard will move you through Z levels. KEEP IN MIND ITS NOT PERFECT! Keeping a GPS on you and marking each Z level with a navigation beacon to ensure you have been to each Z level will be best, as sometimes clicking page up or page down will skip a Z level.
- Scanning every Z level and every area of a Z level will give you the best loot. The moment you think that there is 'nothing else here', there will be, and you leaving it alone, is inviting everyone else to grab that syndicate modsuit/powerful gun/desperately needed food and medical supplies.
