Random tips

1. Prefer multi-containers to single-resource ones to save space. If all you have is single-resource containers, then you don’t have any options to collect specific resources in a situation where a container gets destroyed in a battle for example. (Where are you going to hold your organics if your only organics container just got blown up?)

2. SOS-signal. The SOS signal can be used when you've say, run out fuel. It essentially gives you the ability to summon enemies to your location. Sometimes they may be straight up helpful, but usually the result will be a fight, which hopefully leads to resource gain. In my experience, these fights tend to be slightly above average in difficulty for the sector you are in, and may well scale in some way.

Nevertheless, if you find yourself doing well but perhaps low on resources, remember that you can summon a fight often resulting in 2-3 modules, just by using the SOS button. This can be useful if you've recently gained in combat strength, but have had fewer encounters than ideal.
