Pathetic.

thats the difference between X2 and X3. In x2 you could stash loads of M3's in a station, but in X3 this is finite and small. I have had the same problem with the ship I am flying in until I have zoomed in and seen all the docking bays full.

Still think 50 is too many though


Dunners

You have to give the nova specific orders to jump as well.


Dunners

perhaps with 50 traders there is nowhere to sell crystals at a profit.

I am not sure what the max is but 50 is a hell of a lot.


Dunners

Mosquito missiles: to get someones attention
Wasp Missiles: to get them to panic (M3's) M4's and M5's will die

Anything esle is superfluous.

....and what have we learnt today boys and girls??

Always use your salvage insurance Miss

Wear a dress and wink at them, saying "ooh ar Jim lad" usually works.


Dunners

The link that is often in their sig was removed because they had a link to some illegal copies of X3 manuals. A genuine mistake.


www.facts-x2.net is their current web address.

Personally I think you would be better of at www.themadgoner.com, its where all FACTS veterans end up.

I use the age old verified and validated method of not pressing the fire button. Works every time.

You can specifiy the TL as your homebase.

You can launch all the fighters in one go, select one of the fighters via the landed ships, go the command screen and select command for docked ships, and as above launch and return to homebase.

The graphics look like they have been upped to suit the rest of X3.

I turned all my water into a frozen asteroid in Ore belt.

I added some colour with B PACS and the odd dead astronaut, and now it looks quite nice.

Mybig gripe about info reguarding patches,is with the vagueness of the info. They say some new gameplay material will added with this patch. How does that help me? Will more starting options be added by this patch,if so why not tell me. I can hold off and wait for the option I was told was going to...

The problem with M6's is that the rudder has been severley nerfed, so fighting M3's is a pain. My M6 is now on sector patrol duties, and I have gone back to an m3 with two wingmen.

One word of warning:
Dunners

No. The 12 is the maximum he will buy at. He will wander off to try and buy some at 9 credits.

If I were you i would set the level at 13 or 14 credits. You will still make a stonking profit, and wont have to wait for ages for your trader to get back.


Dunners

Ermm.......No.


Dunners

No your pilot is doing what you ask him. he is off to get e-cells at 12 or under. best buy means he will try to find the cheapest.

If you dont want him to wander off then alter the max jump settings.


Dunners

patience young Padewan.

It takes a while, and depends on the profit he/she is making. Give it time and the level will go up.

I had four starting at the same time, one was level 25 before one them had reached level 3, so it depends on where they are and what they are trading.


Dunners

The only advantage of APPC over BHEPT is range. Personnaly I would stick with the BHEPT.

As for trying them out on a station this will not work. Stations have mega shields now and neither weapon will even dent the shields.
