basic questions

Hi, newbie with big big dreams here! First set of questions, something I'm not getting is the difference between cruise(ing), trade lanes, and the afterburner? What does each do?
I am planning a large total conversion mod, and will set aside much time in the future, but I ask this becasue right now I can't play the game because I just don't have time right now for the storyline, etc. I do have time to read the tutorials in consecutive parts... the tutorials are great, but this is the most difficult to mod game I have ever seen, but I think its finally one thats going to be worth it.
Thanks forany and all responses... seems kinda quiet here...

Welcome to TLR

Afterburner - limited speed burn based on engine, power suppy and energy available.
Cruise - Speed of 300 not dependent on energy and continues unless you get hit by cruise disrupter, or shut it down.
Trade lane - is about 2500 speed and can be disrupted and goes for a limited length

There is a lot to read here on the forums, enjoy. **Note, avoid the spoiler forum, if you don't want to know a lot of the story and things. **

There are some Open MODS that allow you to play without going through the story line. You should be able to find them in the Download Section.
