So, I know I ask a lot of questions but I don't see this game as very intuitive. Even the hints given are not always easy to understand.
But, the thing that seems to be holding me back are AI units. I seem to be seeing that you have to do bounties for those, which is all fine, but for that you need your weapons (laser and torpedoes) to be at a good level which is gonna need AI cores, same goes for shields. Do I shuffle those around from unit to unit (if possible, not tried it yet) depending what task I'm going for...I mean I can limit the cargo and engines if the bounty is close to home, just not sure how that affects anything else. Is the idea to get AIs in those two systems then go for more?
Also, I see smuggling missions but I don't have a cloak and looking through the Walkthrough it's not very helpful in locating one.
Any help/suggestions would be gratefully received
