Even easier - provided you are running version 1.4 :) Just go the 'change factory parameters' screen - the one where you can change your buying/selling prices. There should be a number in brackets under the selling price for your energy cells. That number is the break even price. If you are selling ...

What ship you'll want depends entirely on what you want to do with it. For 300K-500K you can get a nicely kitted out freighter, like an Argon Mercury or Boron Dolphin, which you can then use to trade and make more money with. You can make friends with the Paranid using your starting ship and a suppl...

Myself I've never had much luck with mines unless I give them a ship set to 'sell ware for best' price to move my stock. SO I'd go for a selling ship on your mine when you can afford it. Looking a bit further ahead you could build a Cahoona Bakery in Red Light. There should be enough Cattle Ranches ...

The lottery is just the X-Universe's version of the 'Big Issue' - UK gamers will know what I mean. Spend your money, get something to read and be happy that you've helped a poor, otherwise unemployed, Boron ticket seller! Got to admit I tend to buy lottery tickets if I get a good sob story to go wit...

Lastly, when Rainy was talking about the time investment for end-game content, he was talking about pickup group time and so on. What he didn't mention was the time taken to reach a level where you CAN do those endgame instances. Even the most frenetic powerleveller in WoW can't expect to hit level...

Well it is sort of a comparison i am going to make. Take frontier, elite 2 and the other one after that. They were huge games, No, they weren't, at least not in the way that the X-games are huge. In Elite (all of them), you were only in one system at a time, and nothing happened in any other system...

yeah thats one thing i think they should look at, the scale of the game. in x2 the stations and cap ships were too small. im mean compared to the docking bays when you get in, the fabs were very small, kinda tardis like thing going on. big stations/caps ego!! I only find this from the first person ...

As a general point - if you get stuck with the plot, check your Pilots Log. It often has useful hints in it.

Not yet but I can't see it being difficult. Time consuming yes but not difficult. If you've got even a bit of trade going with each race, your rank will increase with time. Killing Pirates or Khaak will help, assassination missions will help. Unless you make a regular habit of shooting up space stat...

Take it easy! I can't say I've noticed a massive amount of feedback to any stories on this forum so I wouldn't take things personally if yours don't generate a lot of replies either.

And besides - you can't leave the Queen of the Xenon dangling like that!

I sent my Ray to protect a factory in Family Njy during an assassination mission to prevent this happening. It's now six game hours later and I've just noticed that my Ray has gone missing. Looking back in my log I see it got scragged by a Xenon K about five and a half hours ago. I forgot to send i...

Not sure how it compares with yours but: I'd just spent a while puttering around the Argon core systems building some factories. Everything was set up nicely, the profits were rolling in and I figured I'd take some time out to go exploring and asteroid mapping. I dock the old Mercury at my Quantum T...

I'd have to say Xenon - as I am plotting the extermination of every exterminatable station (non respawning) in the universe I voted Xenon (for the same reasons). Why there's currently only one vote for them :gruebel: Without wishing to be rude, possibly because this particular poll crops up repeate...

It was going to. Then the Split designers realised they'd better put at least a token shield on it as well. I think dual GHEPTs combined with a 5MW shield would reflect the Split attitude nicely

in x2 i read this poll posted on an argon station about the ressearch of a 10 000 MW shield :twisted: . but they say the project failed long story ... but if egosoft could put that in the story of X3 !!!! just imagine THE POWER :twisted: Well no wonder the project failed - they clearly forgot the R...

I usually go for S type freighters (cheap to replace and I don't lose that many) and L type fighters (saves scrounging up shields and weapons. I suppose that once I start building and trading in dodgier parts of the universe I might start buying L freighters too.
