What is there to do once your out of energy? It takes maybe 40minutes to go through 100 energy (Mist tank) so what else is there to do? You can't level up another character cause they have the energy linked on each character on the account and any that is used on the same computer unless you buy some. So yeah, what else is there to do? I like this game cause its easy going but soon as that tank is done your done.
Out of energy...

Wait. Or if you can trade crowns for CE and keep playing.

In the early stages of the game all you can do is wait, which sucks because those are the most addictice stages. Just try to reach tier 2 as quickly as you can so that you can run through levels to make enough money to buy CE and continue running through levels.

There have been a couple Tier 1 gates that allowed me to sustain constant energy just by waiting for the arenas and doing danger rooms. It's entirely possible to do before T2.

If...
If it only takes you 40 minutes to go through 100 energy, you are probably not breaking every bush and exploring every path and are reviving for CE multiple times, and are perhaps wasting mist on energy gates to treasure boxes that aren't worth the cost. If you clear every level thoroughly and don't die, you can probably buy CE to keep going with the crowns you earned and still have some profit (plus you're collecting materials, tokens, and heat.)
However, if it's too late and you already raced through the levels just hitting the exciting parts, then you can auction off your materials at the auction house, or putter around in the advanced training hall to figure out the best ways to use weapons and vials, maybe practice your shield-bumping.

You can make 4000 Crowns per Tier 1 run.
If you kill, bash, smash and cash on everything you see, you'll earn around 2.5k. You can then make an additional 1k-2k of Crowns by selling your Materials Smartly on the Auction House.
By doing this, you can just have enough Crowns to buy 100 energy to play some more.
Oh, wait, the Energy Market went to [crap]. Ignore this post ;).
Poor newbies. I'm glad I got through the Newbie stage right before the market went skypocket-rocket.

@Azkanan...
Your post made sense right up until the end. If you are making 4k on a 60 energy run, then you are making (tap tap tap) 6667 per 100 energy, more than enough to buy 100 CE to keep going. (Also, of course, in practice, it costs around 9CE per level since your mist keeps recharging even as you play and is usually '001' but sometimes '000' or '002' at the end of a level.)

I would kindly ask some people if they could be so very kind and could stop saying the "But one time CE costed like 7K!! QQ MOAR" thing.
I know for a fact that those prices were even lower back then, but it does not matter - we are talking about the present, not the past... so I think it's a bit irrelevant to the "newbies are poor" thing ;)

I remember when the market
I remember when the market was around 7-8k, lost a tidy fortune because I sold all my CE right before that price jump. It got me rather flustered, I count my blessings even though it's a little over 5k now.
Anyways, aside from what everyone said, you could you know stop playing and wait until tomorrow? Maybe read a book or go swimming, it's monstrously hot where I'm from. :(
Edit: just saw Replicant's post, he just blew my mind. :O

The thing is...
7k prices were under essentially the same economic rules as now, only at the moment we have a huge number of newer players buying into their starter kits. If there's decent player retention, that won't last because eventually the playerbase will be large enough that new players will not be such a large factor.
10k-20k prices were under a system where gates cost half as much (or less than that during energy surge and finale), meaning there was twice the earnings potential (or more) per CE. A lot of other things were different in preview as well - different recipe costs different crafting costs - making it a totally different set of economic rules that has no relevance to the current game and only providing a chance to say you had to go uphill both ways back in the day.

Oh, Senshi. You know me so well.
Go do something else or buy more. Problem solved; next thread.
