Just look at the screen. It should indicate the stuff needed for the 
next level right under your level. Either it will say MISSION or it will 
indicate a certain ammount of money needed.

It is related solely on your net worth IIRC with the exception of the 
storyline where it is also dependent on the progress of the story.

I think it counts for the worth, but I am not 100% sure here.

Definitely sell 4 of em (except you are a collector that wants to 
compare their graphics). No fighter can mount 10 guns. But there are 
better guns then the code guns out there...
BTW: Personally I like the 2.0 guns.

Of course. Played to the last level and looted every wreck. Not really 
worth it however. You've seen pretty much everything that is cool in the 
storyline. You can however find the wreckage of the Hispania and you can 
find 2 special systems (don't bother exploring either - one is empty, 
the other one only has the two planets that are visible from the start)
