How to level up fast in Starstruck Vagabond

By now, you should know how to pilot your spaceship like a pro, so it’s time to prove it by leveling up like your life depends on it (which it does). Read on to find out how those in the know do it. Be careful, it will get dirty.

The trick to leveling up fast in Starstruck Vagabond

This will seem like an exploit. Hell, it could be an exploit. But the way I see it, if you’re going to start losing health as soon as your stamina depletes, then it behooves you to get as much stamina and health as you can as fast as you can by any means necessary. If you have to bend the game mechanics to do it, then so be it.

First, take your ship out into open space away from any planets, and bring up the System Map on the command console. You’re looking for dust clouds, and anyone will do. Make sure you have no mechanical or life support problems. Just do a spot inspection and make sure nothing needs fixing or cleaning. Once you’re done, steer the ship into the heart of the dust cloud and engage.

Common sense and common sense would tell you not to fly through the cloud, they would also tell you not to aim your ship at as many individual dust clouds as you can. To the devil with sense and common sense, we level! Fly through as many as you can. Don’t worry, everything will become clear.

This is the warning symbol that appears when dust begins to clog vital marine equipment. When you start seeing these appear, you know you’re doing it right. The more of them you see, the better. Go through the dust cloud, get out into open space and stop.

Your ship should now be full of these blue symbols. That’s the signal for you to break out the Ion Purifier and start cleaning the components for all their worth. You will find that most of the dirt is trapped in your Air Cycles and the Reserve Coolant Tank, but it can’t hurt to go around and check everything. Because guess what, for every filth you clean out of the systems, you’ll earn XP.

Don’t forget to suit up and perform EVA outside the hull. There are a few systems up there that could be full of gray gold. The rest will most likely be hiding in the ram scope assembly, but there is always the power generator and the impulse motor as well.

Now everything is clean, and there is only one thing left to do: turn your ship around and do it all again from the other side of the cloud. You’ll have maximum stamina and health before you know it.
