When I have missions such as "Aiding the \War Effort" or even "Defend X station", do wing man kills count or do I have to make each and every kill myself? I didn't read all the responses yet, so if this is answered already, my apologies. Sadly, only personal kills count for the "Aid the War Effort"...

Just a quick note on poll biasing via exposure (or lack thereof) : having this poll in the XR forum guarantees that the result is biased from the outset - few of those who don't play or didn't enjoy the game frequent here, and therefore few of their opinions will be represented, so the poll result ...

In X3TC's Goner plot, there is a stage when several "waves" of 2 pirate syndicate M8s are faced in quick succession, and they bail very readily - perhaps you are thinking of that? I don't remember, either way, whether these ships appear anywhere in X3AP. Ships missing the factional prefix letter are...

This is a constant source of "irk" for me - there are none to be had for purchase. :( Until now (and thank you!) I didn't even know they could be found in the manner you did, the only times I've seen them is deployed here and there in Terran space (normally next to jump beacons.) Isn't there a play...

I can only also suggest launching a few fighter URVs, to hopefully distract a couple more of the enemies. I personally don't like the escort missions for precisely the same reason that you're struggling here - ridiculously bad odds, and your ward has no self-preservation instinct or training. There ...

In vanilla, you can't make a mining wing/fleet - that's only really for military escorting (and even that doesn't really work.) You'll need to keep an eye on them and manage them manually (adding them to your squad will give you "louder" reporting on their activities, but whenever they finish mining...

Ha, I tried this too and hit the station so often that I am now at -16 :( There's a fairly simple way to reduce the odds of this happening: make sure you are flying as close as possible to the station, that way your pirate targets are most of the time "space-ward" from you - problem solved. (Of cou...

What I did: I hit "T" (that's <shift>+<t>) for trade every few minutes. At some point I could see fusion reactors for sale and I immediately sent my Rahanas there. Mind that you have to be quick. If you first have to cancel orders on the Rahanas they are likely gone again. I also talked to every bl...

You need to work on your PMC rep then. Actually Dormant Bear is a good place to do that as the Pirates tend to go there to attack the mining asteroid and you can get increased rep with PMC if you kill the Pirates near enough to the station. This. ^ You only need to get your reputation to (if I reca...

What Ezarkal said, along with: those STFs occasionally (read: "quite often") run out of some resource. This holds up production, of course, but getting yourself set up to keep tabs on their resources and production as Ezarkal outlined means you'll be able to identify such shortages, and rectify them...

I honestly cannot remember the situation for standard Pirate Bases as I so very rarely find them hostile anyway - not unless I've been deliberately damaging them or their laser towers. Pirate Bases are oddly and inordinately proprietorial about jump gates in their sector (even if the sector itself ...

Incidentally, to sell the ship at a shipyard, one of the following conditions need to be true: you need to either
- be docked at the same shipyard, so that you can conduct the transaction, or
- you need to have the Trading System Extension installed, which allows you to transact remotely

Thank you very much. I appreciate the effort you take in helping me... You're welcome - it's a pleasure, in fact. :) Thing is: I haven't bought a single L or XL ship in this game since the beginning. At the moment I own 10(+1) Rahanasses, 3 Titurels, 2 Sanahars and 3 Phoenixes all courtesy of diffe...

Every time I start a new game, I wish I could forget that location, as I don't like freebies, they upset my metering of my progress. So I have to simulate "not knowing" by not going for it unless I see it - of course, when I do get around to exploring Drippy Ascent (be it early or late, depending o...

Even CLS pilots will do the same thing. Only the conditions that were present when the pilot decided on an action seem to matter, even if conditions change in the meantime until the action is complete. I've seen 3 ships leave one of my stations, one after another, to pick up a single ship's load fr...

-I never saw a ship having to jump to another system in order to refuel as long as there's an allied/neutral refuel station in the system. ... (Actually, the only reason I could think of is the fuel station is empty... That would explain it.) I've seen it, more than once - it was either price or av...

He says though that he boarded it, and that probably means that he obeyed Yisha and killed the jumpdrive and engines. :wink: The word "board" is broader (heheh) than its narrow in-game usage - when you board a train or a plane or a boat, do you first attack with a strike team? ;) So I allow for amb...

Right, so I take it this is that Rahanas in Drippy Ascent , in Omicron Lyrae. The reason it won't refuel in the same sector is probably because it found a better price elsewhere, or possibly there is a queue of ships planning to refuel there. Fear not, this isn't a problem. Ships without fuel can st...

Asteroid Belt and Jupiter are war sectors in X3AP, and so I suspect their spawns and despawns follow their own specific rules to do with that set of game mechanics. By the way, Neptune has a gate and thus supports UFJD, as do the "extra-Solar" Terran sectors beyond that gate. Neptune itself is heavi...
