| − | Gas can be collected by skimming the surface of Gas Giants (gas planets) at high speed. The colour of the atmosphere, and your speed travelling through the atmosphere surface, will determine the quantity and the type of gas (Hydrogen or Oxygen) collected. Gas is used to manufacture your own [[Space Stations|Space Station]],as fuel for your [[Hyperdrive]] or sold on the [[Completing Contracts|Contracts]] board.

| − | Best results are obtained by starting at a distance, ie:- the star base or jump gate, setting your view to 1st person, lining up the relevant part of the gas planet, turning gravity anchor off and going flat out into the colour at as fast a speed as possible.
