Re: X3 Terran Conflict/Reunion

If you pick the right sector, sector trading can be very lucrative. Universe trading can cause your ship to wander around aimlessly and often getting into trouble. Try sector trading in Queen's Space and Empire's Edge.

Re: 79th -> 33rd

I haven't done anything now for over a week, and I'll probably not bother going back. I was pretty taken aback when they demoted 90% of the regulars to privates for not being good enough at melee. If you want a way to kill a gaming group then that's a pretty good method. Maybe we should just form a ...

Re: X3 Terran Conflict/Reunion

Early on, capping ships will be very useful for gathering money if you prefer combat. Avoid M5s and M4s for fighting, go straight to M3s, use something sturdy. The Nova is one of the best M3s in the game. I used a Mamba Raider, which is very fast but lightly shielded like all Split ships. But with 8...

There should be a way to make that ugly sidebar disappear unless you need it.

Also, if you want free ships, look here:

Bear in mind a lot of them are in nasty sectors. You should be able to get the Toucan Hauler in Menelaus' Frontier easily enough though.

Re: X3 Terran Conflict/Reunion

You will have to consult online guides and forums on how a lot of the gameplay mechanics work, because despite being a huge tome, the game manual is rather useless. However, as Sanjar said, the community is great with advice and guides. Always go for the easiest start, often the hardest part of the ...

Re: X3 Terran Conflict/Reunion

I was saving up for an M7, but in the end of the TC campaign I bought an M6+ Springblossom, and was lucky enough to find a well stocked P-MAML forge. That thing goes at M5 speed, and the 10 front P-MAMLs rip through Qs like butter. It's such an overpowered ship, perhaps even more so than the Hyperion.

It's criminal that pay-for-perk games like this are described as 'Free to play'.

It is excessively large. Why not start building in the immediate area around what you have started. Show us that you are dedicated to using all this space well, then we can talk turkey. And you really need to reserve entire biomes for a few castles and villages?

On the subject of the Initus market, why not make that the only place to put shops? The capacity can be large, and it would create a trading hub with some good chances for competitive pricing, and would give people more use for Initus.

Well so long as its done decently, it doesn't matter that much. Most of the East side of Initus needed blending by creating the terrain manually.

Very well, it sounds like someone had access to your minecraft account and for the briefest of moments the griefed what was probably the first house in front of them. I suggest you be careful with regards to saving your password on WoM and using it on shared computers. Appeal accepted.
