      I recently downloaded frozen heart and converted it to EV, but was somewhat frustraded when I read the docs. Some missions cannot be completed if you fly a large ship?! What's up with that?! What's the biggest, and most powerful ship I can buy while still being able to complete the missions? Thanks in advance.

      You don't need the giant warships. I think you need a ship with a jump time of one day (mass of under 100 tons).

      Keep waiting...the Rim Prospector is an excellent ship,you can do most of the missions with it,until you get the chance to buy the Tachyonic Fighter,the best ship in the game.
      Trust me,the Tachyonic rox!

      Try completing the bulk of the mission strings in either a Courier V7, or a Bucaneer. Then get the Tachyonic Fighter.

      I flew a shuttle until I could afford the Tachyonic Fighter.

      OK, thanks for the tips. But, if I want the buccaneer, it only has 15 tons of cargo space. Is there a good upgrade so that it can have 20? Do I need 20? I'm also having trouble getting missions. Where can I get them? Is the tachyonic fighter always available? If so, then where can I get it? Thanks.

      The Tachyonic Fighter becomes available after you complete the (fairly short) chess match mission string that starts in the mission computer on (I believe) Earth. In general, remember to always check the mission computer when playing Frozen Heart.
