Well everybody has there own tactics, but for me thats the same as cheating :x2: That's not cheating, it's using the unlimited funds and stupidity of local trade stations for your own profit :D If someone is dumb enogh to buy high and sell low they should be exploited, it is just common busines sen...

I do it all the time. My crystal Fabs in Herron's Nebula and Red Light sell to the local trading station at max price and my manta buys them at 1684 and then takes them back to the fab to be sold again. Every round is 23k profit. Especially in Red Light, and sometimes in Herron's Nebula, I get a nic...

I have one feature request: Would it be possible to show the results of the find resource command on the map? For example there could be an icon or something in every sector that has a station that sells or buys the product. Perhaps one icon for a dock and another for a factory? This could be an opt...

I did the mission in a Barracuda. I killed the first Khaak cluster quickly and the TL got in safely. After that I killed the rest of the bad guys quickly (never hit a freindly ship). After the mission Elena told me that she had something in store for me (not her exact words, can't remember...) Anywa...

The best strategy is probably to setup your own Split food factories in Kingdom End. It's a lot cheaper than any sector defense, and will also increase your own profits and eliminate any food shortages you might have. I think you'll need about 2 million to setup those factories. Until then, the best...

Immediate goal: Buy a Dragon and kit it for personal use. Ultimate goal: Play the game until either a) My computer can't handle the amount of stations/ships I have and it crashes or FPS becomes SPF (Seconds per Frame) b) I can't handle the complexity of my empire and my brain crashes c) I get tired ...

I will try to prioritise this, however I can't promise anything. Cheers LS LordSuch, I sent you an email. I'm pretty sure that if you set your computers regiona...

Bug!!!

Just found a nasty problem with Sector Planner. I added my factories and saved the sector map. When I tried to open the file I get an error message "Input string was not in a correct format." I did some further testing, tried with an empty sector map (started Sector Planner and saved the map) and th...

Great app

Great work Lordsuch. This is an extremely useful tool. I was just thinking about building Stott Mixeries in Argon space to help AI Cahoona production, and your app answered the question "where to build" very nicely :thumb_up: Regarding printing, I don't see the point when you can just hit Alt+Tab an...

Build a Crystal Fab in Red Light. My Crystal Fab in Red Light is one of my best selling factories. The trading station there keeps buying them at 1936 cr and my SPP can then pick them up for 1684 cr. Cheap crystals for the SPP and more money for me 8)

The yield determines the lenght of the production cycle. The higher the yield, the shorter the cycle. Also with high yields the amount of ore/silicon per production cycle is larger. A silicon mine on an asteroid with a yield of 26 can provide just enough silicon to keep one crystal fab running. :ro...

My two SPPs in Kingdom end an Rolk'd Drift had some downtime lately because there where no crystals to be found within a 2 jump radius. That's why there now is a crystal fab in Kingdom end. Some of my SPP's sometimes get filled with ecells. That's when one of my extra mantas goes to help sell them. ...

Why more than 1 ship per factory?

I've been playing the game for a few weeks now, and with the help form all the guides in this forum have started building my industrial empire. One thing has me baffled. Pretty much every guide says that you should buy two ships for your SPPs. One seller, and one buyer. Now, I can see why this would...

Making money selling and reselling crystals

Hi. I've been playing X2 for a few weeks now, building an industrial empire with all the wonderful advice i've read from this forum. I currently have SPPs in Kingdom End, Rolk's Drift, Herron's Nebula and Red Light, a crystal fab in Power Circle and a cattle ranch and a cahoona bakery in Herron's Ne...
