You could, you know, trade at the start.
Tried this a few times today with different set ups. Usually I would run out of money trying to make long distance trades because of the lack of fuel I could afford. At least this starting path gives you more supplies to work with, though.
It always ended the same within the first month though- as an example with my last game, my mule was simply intercepted by a large pirate fleet in hyper space. Not much to be done about that. GG.
Edit: Trying something different. I started in the Hammerhead again and there was no one to fight in Corvus so I decided to go to Hyperspace to see if there was anyone I could catch to fight. There was not anyone nearby so I decided to fly off in the west direction to check out any other place that maybe I coul make money doing something. I ended up getting caught by a huge pirate fleet and died, unable to escape.
Also I stress it again, I am not complaining nor do I think you need to re-focus your effort on this mod. But again, I want to point out that giving a Tri-Tachyon starter with a wolf a bunch of needlers does not help the player afaik.
Edit 2: So I started out as Tachyon, killed some stuff in Corvus, having to cheat myself some supplies due to the lack of money for said supplies. I decided to go to the Valhalla system so maybe I could base with the Tachyon there and fight the Hegemony. Something different. Nope, can't do that. No stations owned by Tachyon in the system have any supplies. Mimir and Skathi are both devoid of Supplies and food, but hey, they got thousands of gasses, so that's great. What is the point of systems like this? lol
