Its different for every race, the Teladi one is something like Loss of Profits or Danger to Profits.

Rules for my new game (old universe gets to crowded) No bug abuse - no XI missions with cap ships, no cloned XI missions - no cloning of items (only buy 1 ship at a time) Don't rule the Universe - no M1/M2 class vessels, single M6 (probably Dragon) - max 3 factories - max 5 UT - no save/load abuse s...

Spring of Believe
Patriarch's Retreat

Forget M6 ships. The only ones with dual weapons in front are the Centaur (slower turning than the Dragon) and the Osprey (slowest M6). Actually, forget about all Teladi and Argon ships when you want a speedy fighter. Tried the Paranid or Split M3 yet? Or check the M4 class for a real challenge (Pir...

Its less than 200k for a single 25 MW shield

Well, when the extracted files override the original stuff, you only need to unpack the files you want/need to change. Its easier to keep track of what you changed when there are only a few changed files and not everything. Its also easier for non-modder when they just need to put a few files or eve...

Xtension is the addon to X beyond the frontier, the first X game.

1. Mods placed in the /mods directory and activated using the startup screen. 2. The original 01 - 04.dat files in the X2 main directory. 3. If these have been deleted (or moved is a better solution) then it will run the game off of the unpacked files. This is probably not the right place, but I th...

I just read an old post about that and apparently a respawned asteroid has the same type of mineral but a different yield, can anyone comfirm this? From my experience they spawn with the same yield. I mined a lot of sectors (all asteroids with less than 25 yield) and none of the respawned ever had ...

A crappy shield is better than no shield at all *cough* spaceflies *cough*

Do you use a joystick? Tried strafing with the keyboard? Maybe your joystick sensitivity is to low, so you don't strafe full speed?

Wait with fighting untill I have one (or several) M2, ready to invade a Xenon sector to increase my fighting rank VERY fast... :fg: Uh, I don't think 'VERY fast' is the appropriate term. Even 'fast" or anything else than 'extremely slow' would describe the rank increase as soon as you reach the hig...

Enter the forum code (should be in the manual) in your Forum-Profile, then check the Scripting + Modding forum for the mod (Shadowtech something IIRC)

Also check the download page from the main site for lots of additional stuff (and the patches, if you don't have those yet).

Goals for 2005? X2 related: get to AoA 1st, cap a K, restart for The Return (I'm playing a modded game at the moment and want to play a "clean" game at least once with the expansion) life: finally get my diploma, get a job, earn some money, get a new PC + a joystick for The Return so I'll be able to...

Repair the ship at a shipyard or dock/wharf/...

I placed an Ore Mine on a yield 1 asteroid in Kingdom End as dedicated Homebase for my traders (8 at the moment).

Max credits set to 8 million (1 per trader) which is way to high, but I'll probably set it to 10 million like in every trading station/equipment dock I own.

Get the scripts working... My experience of scripts for this game is simply put: Hyped, Glorified and NO *BEEEEP* DOCUMENTATION YOU PIECES OF WORTHLESS ORCDROPPINGS! what scripts are you referring to? I use the signed scripts/bonus material most of the time, and those are well documented (readme in...

I'm guessing earth ships should be heavilly advanced and have the best weapons. Actually, I don't think so. Earth had no contact to any alien race ever, no conflict in space since the terraformer wars (which came from earth so no new "alien" technology there), no connection to the gate system for h...

Dolphins and Mercurys can't use the mobile drilling system, but the Demeter, Caiman or Vulture can.
