Recommended starter gear for Planet Calypso

OK, everyone hears the hype about Entropia being free. It is free to play, but to do much beyond walk, talk, and get killed while sweating, guess what? You probably should pay in some, just like most other MMORPGs that are worth playing.
Here's the rundown on what a total newcomer needs to begin hunting the wildlife of Calypso instead of being their prey:
Pixie Armor Set (M)- 21.0PED
Opalo Laser Carbine- 3.8PED
Omegaton M2100 Pistol- 2.2PED
1000 of any ammo- 10.0PED
Vivo T1 (First Aid)- 10.0PED
The prices listed are for items at full repair values, ans a smart shopper might easily be able to pick up some used items for less that are servicable. So, a complete set of hunting gear would run less than 40 PED ($4 USD). Sweat from mobs currently runs about .005 PED per unit, so that.. what.. 8000 units of sweat?
If you're feeling frivolous, spend 3 PED to get your outfit repaired to a nice shiney orange sheen. All the cool colonists do it.
So, if you choose a single weapon, get ammo, armor and something to heal yourself up with, a 10 dollar deposit gets you a complete noob kit and over 50 PED in your pocket for whatever else you want to do with it.
...and if you want you can sweat for the next 20 years without spending another dime if you don't wanna. 
There are plenty of other equipment options to mull over. I selected the most common and readily available ones for this posting.
Got questions? Post 'em here. Someone will be along to answer.
Cheers!

Also while in game don't be afraid to ask questions, there is always help around.
Dash...
Find a good mentor as well
Don't forget to "Walk" around a bit and grab some fruit/dung etc. You can later sell that and make some pocket change.
Good additional tips guys, keep 'em coming!
