You completed your first tour on a level 2 ship rather successfully. You are feeling great, since you won almost all the battles. Your spirits are running high, as you start this second tour, now on a level 3 ship.
Don't know if it was the hour of the day, just my luck, or doing this level with knowing what comes ahead. However, I hated this level. Most ships were either barren and lower rated, which implied grinding hard before being ready for the next ship.
It is easy to loose on this level. After hours grinding, your mind wonders and don't follow the battle. Many ships are poorly designed, and are easy to defeat. However, it becomes tedious, and when any ship fights stronger opponent, you can loose by not paying attention.
Your success depends solely on you, it is easy to fail. Below are some rules to keep in mind. This is a break it or make it time. What comes next on level 4 is amazing, but many players seem to quit at this stage. Maybe they just breeze onto level 4 without being ready, and find it overwhelming, for which they quit.

- Don't battle if you can't focus on what you are doing
- Don't fight against ships or weapons you don't know, see the image below, even if you are aching for a good payout
- You will find higher level ships, but have a higher firing rate than what your ship can handle
- Even if your opponent isn't that higher, he might have a stronger ship, and an AI that can fix their ship. This will cause you to timeout even if you did everything correctly
- Keep it simple until you have upgraded to take on more challenging ships
- Upgrade your armor when you can, before that keep drawing crew with minerals. You need mineral storage 5, otherwise you don't have enough for the armor
- Get the lab as soon as you can, you need to do much research
- Use all the bux you save to get Advanced Engineering 1 and 2, for which you need 300 bux
