So does that mean (for now) that Discoverer, Buster, and Nova are all classed as S-class Argon vessels?
Thanks!

X4 Question - Shiptypes

So I'm still watching the X4 Presentation on youtube, and one of my questions is regarding shiptypes. In the video, the Argon Nova (previously an M3 class heavy fighter) is classified as an S-class ship now. Have we lost the M5 and M4 class ships (recon and medium, respectively) from the game in thi...

Ahh right, cheers!

I went up really close and finally saw the docking pods.
Got confused because the bracket for the station doesn't cover the ship :lol:

[X3TC] Argon Capital Ship in Veil of Delusion?

Hello, Just checked the system out in my X3TC DiD Game, and spotted an argon capital ship (looks like a Titan or similar) sitting right next to the mercenary facility, all rusted up. Is this wreckage, scenery, or something plot related that I've missed in the past? I can't seem to target it at all, ...

Heh, I guess I sort of did the same thing with my osprey keeping stuff of my back then :wink: It's just the strafe drive and strafe runs on Those little bitty things on the M0 That drove me nuts. I don't think I can expound enough on how much the flight mechanics in the X3 series improved so wonderf...

I used an Argon Nova for everything, (or very nearly). Beta HEPTs on the front, and a Gamma IRE on the back. Considered using a mass driver, but never needed it. IonDs were sometimes useful. That ship is pretty much a rock. You can easily take apart clusters with a little skill/luck. :) I ended up d...

[X2] Finally "Completed"

Yeah, it's taken me nearly 10 years to do it. The final mission is a nightmare. Specifically, the bit where you have to sit in position around the ship, followed by the bit where you shoot out those nodules That whole section is/was an unending nightmare for piloting. Strafe drive mechanics were pai...

Hmm maybe.
Although a lot of the names in Final Dominion made it into X2 as sector names, while the use of X8, or X4 or whatever as sector names seemed to be quite a thing.
Makes me curious how that all got tied into the games.

[X2] SPP questions

I've been using the SPP guide listed in the guides thread, and I've got a few questions. Should I be using the SMS? (I'm guessing not?) Should I use a Split Scorpion as recommended, or is there a faster/better ship in X2 that can carry M-class cargo? (I keep imagining the disco can do it, but I know...

Old Fan Fiction Question

Much of it hosted on the kiwi.nu x universe fanfiction site. Specifically, many of the stories, including the notable Rogues series by Steve Miller, and the Traders Tale series by S Haworth, refer to a selection of sectors labelled X8, X10, or some other X# number setup. This is also in Crunn's Dark...

missiles take up low cargo space. Also - pirates are set to show as friendly except when directly hostiles. Recommend changing this to show as hostile to you at all times - because pirates are pirates. Just watch them, and wait for them to blow stuff up, or be blown up. then go scoop the stuff that ...

I've actually just done this start, and gotten a nova. Admittedly I also made use of the stock market prior to the update, but it should still be workable. Firstly Elena's Fortune, and all nearby pirate sectors are a goldmine in disguise. As other players have said, scavenge stuff. Especially missil...

Thanks for the stock market clarifications - On the local exchange, was this to ensure the market acted in a more believable manner, as opposed to fluctuating up and down more than an overly aggressive rollercoaster? :wink: - Fixed exploit involving player stations with production turned off.

I'm curious as to the changes on the Stock Market - could you please elaborate as to the exact changes that have occurred in regards to this feature? Is it to do with the local stocks fluctuating during the early game, or some other component that hasn't been mentioned? (Basically, how will it affec...

Bit of a pity I guess, but I can understand. The Hub has put me off X3TC for now - but my economic plans will eventually get me back in and allow me to complete it, if only because I want to get rid of it :lol: And in Bastion, I'm stuck on a level where you need to use a rapid fire gun of some sort ...

I use either/both methods for purchasing games. Hardcopy, if I want backups and/or something I can hold in my hands if the game deserves it. The Superbox got this treatment. That encyclopaedia was nice. On the other hand, sometimes I'm lazy, and/or don't care so much about the game, and so I'll buy ...

On an average day, Apricot, I'd tend to respect, and agree with you. But here's where I must respectfully disagree: It's a new game, with a new engine. They're not using the old X-btf engine like they did with every other game in the series (including X3 and X2, with X3 originally just being an expa...
