hello, i have X2 v 1.4 The MK3 trader doesn't seem to have a level, and stops trading quite frequently - after looking around it seems that its because the MK3 was upgraded in the bonus pack! So a few questions: 1. does the steam version of the game come with the bonus pack installed? 2. can i expec...

thanks, i did buy 1 mk3 software, but my trader keeps running out of stuff to trade and keeps askign me for help =S don't think i could handle 10!! i started it in Home of Light, it stopped, started it there two more times after it stopped. Then tried Kingdon's End, stopped there twice, then went to...

Well, that is true, if you leave the ions on when the shields are down... But, if you don't zap them when the shields are down, then you still will get the equipment. I have capped 475 ships and have sometimes still zapped them a bit and got equipment left. Sorry to bring up a year old thread but t...

hmmmmm thanks I was mobile mining for a bit, and i was thinking of getting a manual mine Red Light seems to need a lot of silicon, and I have a SPP there too. So i figured i could place a Silicon Mine on a nice yeild astroid there :D But will it work well? My mine will need energy.. i'd think having...

yeah i want a TL as well :D I was thinking of buying an M6 to hopefully make some money with it to enable me to get the TL... or should i just keep doing what im doing for longer and go straight to a TL? My Perseus handles clusters fine with its 2 PSGs tho =) I'm considering a Nemesis as my M6 choic...

ah ok then =)

I can buy the khaak sector specs though right? just not the ship specs (if i want to be able to capture khaak still)

I currently have about 10 million, and i realised i have enough money to buy an M6! I think i will still need to save up a little longer but thats no problem (in fact i might invest in a Nova and go try capping to 15 mill or so, i have a Perseus at the moment so Ion D's might make things a bit easie...

im using patch 1.4 (X2 - The Threat) i think i read that you can only capture khaak ships once you have bought the khaak ship specifications and are a high enough combat rank, is this true? (if you what combat rank?) i havn't bought the khaak specifications yet but i can capture khaak ships.. if i b...

ok i think found the problem

it goes from paranid freind 75%

to paranid friend of priest 55%

thats actually good right? =P

yeah im running 1.4...........

OK, so i picked up an assasination mission in paranid space, and my rep was on about 77%

Had to kill a paranid nemisis M6 escorted by 4 M3's

I killed them all but then my race rep went down to 50 something % !

I tried both killing the escorts first and after... does this always happen?

ok these are my current money making options, i have about... 4 or 5 million spending money! what combination of these will make me the most money do you think.. 1. Setting up one or more of the above mentioned factories 2. Restarting my mobile mining operation, but with some cargo ships collecting ...

(note i don't run the game on overnight SETA) I have 3 SPP's (Kindoms End, Red Light, Paranid Prime) I might put another one in Lucky Planets as well.. But i dont want a mass of SPP's.. what other factories sell well? Also, are captured Pirate Ships good buyer/seller ships? cheaper to aquire ^_^ and...

ohhhhhhhhhhh sorry my bad, the unknown objects are just the lasers - i havn't played in so long i forgot weapons show up in frieght bay

thanks though!!

i captured a khaak M£ (completely by accident) and it had 3 lasers on it (all "unknown") and 3 unknown objects. So i'm flying around with my new M3, after repairing the hull and giving it a 25MW shield which i had from a pirate capture, when i decide to test out my new ship. I see a split caiman, so...

hahahahaa

oh yeah non modded/scripted game..

i did mobile mining for a bit.. i was thinking fighting/capturing might be more profitable tho?

OK, i completed the plot, i have 3 SPP's (Kingdom End, Red Light, Paranid Prime) - i just built the third one recently Besides the selling and buying ships, I have a M3 (Perseus), M5 (Pegasus), and mining TS (Demeter). I have about 3million credits overall, will all my factories and personal credits...

The docking music is still there, you just can't go inside the station. Except for the Argon and Teladi trading stations, they do still have a small dock area. ^_^ X games wouldn't be the same without docking music :D .... I find this slightly more plausible than weird, spherical nebula that eat hu...

Perhaps you misunderstood me. Your stations can have freighters assigned to them to buy and sell, in fact there are more options of how to do that than X2 had. What has changed is that NPC factories no longer own ships, either freighters or defense fighters. All NPC traders are free traders. Yeah i...
