Hello Commanders,

One of the main tools that I believe is great for any commander no matter their experience level is Inara. Using this tool you will be able to check trade routes, look up stations that may have certain materials or Technology brokers, planets, moons, stars, factions and even more detailed information that would normally be really difficult to find by yourself.

You can also search modules to modify your ship, check if certain Fleet carriers are buying or selling certain materials that you may need or can sell to them in order to earn easy credits.
