I should probably learn to play again before trying anything daring mind you... I had been playing WoW because that's what my friends played. However, I'm very bored with it and have always preferred SF to Fantasy. I am VERY seriously thinking of starting Eve (total NEWB!). However, my research lea...

Tsar, I've seen no mention of the Si trade. Since it was such a cornerstone of the X2 Universe I'm surprised no one else has reported on its virtues. With a buy price in the low 200's, a sell price in the mid 700's, and able to carry almost 200 of them in a Merc's cargo hold, that's a potential prof...

BouncingNRG, You must use the Special Commands SW in order to transfer pilots. When you transfer, you specify the source first (the one with the MkIII pilot), then the target (one with NO MkIII pilot), then a friendly port to make the transfer. You will end up with a ship named "---" (the original s...

The quick fix to a CF that can't sell for max price is to put another SPP in the sector. Keep your SPP's crystal buy price pegged at 1684 and keep your CF's crystal sell price at max.

Sooner or later the AI will discover it needs your crystals.

IMO the Demeter, Caiman, & Dolphin are all quite viable freight haulers. The other 3 (Vulture, Mercury, & Pirate Ship) have no role in my Corporation. Although I agree with all of BoronSticks observations I disagree with the conclusion. I feel Caiman & Demeters are about equal in survivability. The ...

IMO, neither the Express or the Toucan are useful. To put it another way, one or more of the other TPs can do any job better than the Express or the Toucan. For a speedy, L or smaller sized bulk cargo hauler - use the Manta For the fastest (jump capable) cargo hauler (i.e. crystal hauler) - use the ...

Agreed...

The demand for ecells in the KE RD area can easily support 2-3 SPPs. However, the supply of crystals will only support ~1 new SPP. So if you wish to put more than one there, you'll want to supplement the crystal supply.

... Do you know where i can buy it from? Not sure which you're asking about... You can't buy Khaak ships period. The specs require you to have completed the story line. Then you'll be offered the chance to buy them when you check the BBS. You'll need to have a high race rank with one of the races i...

I resemble it!

Yoda speak, cute it is. As long as long dialogs he engage in NOT. Otherwise tedious & annoying it becomes!

By end of movie, throttle Yoda, I come to wish! Heheheheee. (<-- Yoda laugh).

I've gotten it every time. Don't know what the trigger is (perhaps the amount of damage to the Mammoth?).

Although the best stations (for making money) are the SPPs, you'll find that eventually you'll need/want to branch out to other stations. Probably the first of these with be crystals or secondary foods.

Both of these earn good money and run desperately short in the X2 universe.

Nah,
they don't fit in my cup very well and their constant struggling tends to spill the hot liquid in my lap.

Tarcon, I've got 30 of the suckers roaming my universe. I rarely have to intervene to restart any of them. I've noticed that they suck up all of the cheap Si & crystals BUT there's still plenty of good opportunities for my to manually trade when I want. Right now I'm starting up 10 new STs in few se...

I've only ever capture 1 M6 and it was destroyed in seconds by shots already in the air. So enjoy the caps when you get them... I use lots of Hydras. I pair them with a Dragon (Dragon set to protect the Hydra) and the kill anything smaller than an M2 without breaking a sweat. They're also much faste...

What I meant was that you couldn't sell EC at 9 or 10 because you would be making a loss The min. price for Crystals is 1432 1432 x 2 = 2864 / 276 = 10.3 Sell at 11 to make profit :) Some other points of reference: Buying crystals at avg price (1684) yields: 1684 x 2 = 3368 / 276 = 12.2 (sell ecell...

15-20 UT's are fairly common. All UTs do in the long run is to reduce the amount of Ecells in the x-verse from jumping and reduce the amount of good manual trading oppurtunities for you. They have additional effects, including: earn loads of cash increase the general productivity of both AI & playe...
