on tatooine, I can't work out how to buy a space ship/find somone willing to ferry me to a certain destination (the guy in the port doesn't have the planet i need..)

Ok, Most members will say read the guide..That is Key, but here is some helpful tips:
1) Find a faction, they will assign you a ship and pay you.
2)Buying a Ship is only through other players/factions.
3)Transportation groups will take you anywhere for a fee.

thanks alot *goes to do these things :P*
