Any alien "illegal substances" to trade and manufacture in XR?

Ravenhurst · Post by **Ravenhurst** » Sun, 29. Sep 13, 01:14

So, since Breaking Bad is ending I was just asking myself, wouldn't it be cool to have Breaking Bad in space, so.. is it possible to run a candy empire with space factories cooking and selling some alien substance (blue colored

in X Rebirth?

was that possible in one of the earlier parts?

Too new to the X-Universe to know?

Space weed. Space Fuel. I've seen signs of both.

We'll definitely see illegal wares and hopefully more illegal factories. In fact I want to see certain weapons and missiles and such be illegal unless you have the rank in that certain area of space. Of course if it is your own then sure go ahead and do what you want.

Yet I want to see what we do in the universe again have direct input. So for all those other factions selling space weed, y'all better be prepared to lose them facilities when I come!

I can confirm Space Fuel sighting in the latest video, the one dealing with trade

There is a cocktail glass icon (looks like a Martini glass) and a weed "leaf" icon in the vids.

In Bernd's trading video he tags one of them and they show up in the menu on the Skunk.

I vote for space RVs!
I'd love to be able to produce on ships not only space fuel but also missiles and other things for my fleet.

I saw "legalised space fuel destillery" station in one of the videos.

ok tradeable items, but can we actually build facilities to produce this.. "stuff"?

I vote for blue "Space-Candy" and labs where this commodity is manufactured

there must be some Breaking Bad Fans at Egosoft, or don´t they watch that show in Germany.. ?

then add 3rd person view for avatars and let me wear a Pork-Pie hat

Any chance this tradable "spacefuel" might actually be a resource; fuel for ships.....this time in Rebirth...when so many things are different than previous x2/x3?

Imho 'weed' and 'fuel' are not a 'Alien illegal substances'. But i'm playing X over ten years, and I don't see any substances of aliens origin

Just one query on this - why is there a poll attached when the subject doesn't lead to there being a need for one?

Spacefuel is no more of a "fuel" than moonshine is collected on the moon.

The real question should be "is there a bigger fish which will be less than pleased at my incursion on to his territory?"

If so, you can go all Walter White on that poor pirate that thought his established crime organization could mess with the lone (at the start) Albion Skunk.

Sure, smuggling would be cool, but crime factions in X Rebirth that compete with you would be even better. Imagine the satisfaction of eliminating them as competitors.

Considering we could do just that in past games, I'd be surprised if we can't in Rebirth.

Of course there are factories for it. There always have been. They have talked about it being in Rebirth already and even provided a screenshot of it.

A5PECT · Post by **A5PECT** » Wed, 2. Oct 13, 07:32

I'm hoping licenses actually play into the legality of wares, i.e. certain high-end products (particularly weapons) are illegal to manufacture/trade in certain areas without the proper license. It would add some nice depth to trading and piracy if we can choose between the two.

Bobucles · Post by **Bobucles** » Wed, 2. Oct 13, 14:37

I wonder if there will be military raids on player complexes to keep down the supply of illegal drugs and weapons?

Not that I would ever run a violent mafia-esque empire, that would just be wrong.
