Terran Conflict X3; Extreme Addiction!

Boron ships are interesting. Look along the lines of the Vorlon ships from "Babylon 5", meaning organic in nature. Might have to start re-watching that series again.

Dain,

Youre right on. They do look like that. Very 'organic' and living, like giant fish. If they were black, they would look like that evil race that was spreading through the galaxy in Babylon 5.

The Boron supply freighters have an interesting look to them. Love the front sections.


I didnt know about a cheat drive that doesnt use Energy cells.. Sounds like a 'futuristic' mod to me. :d :d :d

A new 'fission / dark matter / universal transference dimensional shift drive...' lol...


If you find the exact name for the cheat script, could you post it please? I am off to find it now. I could use it for my new prototype Baracuda.




Has anyone noticed that you cannot 'Hyper Jump into Terran sectors, but you can Hyper Jump out????


Do you know why??? I finally figured it out.

I'll post it in a while so you guys (and ChaCha) can think about it and figure it out...



:d
 
I don't think it's futuristic. Actually can you say that in a Sci-Fi game about the future? LOL :icon_lol:

The thought behind the mod, if you have weapons and shield generators, you should be able to use that energy for a jumpdrive. So I think after you jump it leaves the weapons and shields drained, which is fair in my book.

I have done nothing with mods or scripts yet. I was thinking of trying it this week.

How does one create a hot key?

Found it.

For those that dont know;
* Go to bottom left Menu; Controls
* Select Interface (top tabs)
* Scroll to activatable command
* Click enter on it
* select a button and apply it
* select Apply when done (if it doesnt conflict with other controls and command keys)


Does not lock on until you 'apply' it.

Shucks, I'm trying to find info on how to activate the mod, and come to find out, change name to "Thereshallbewings", run Command Console, and it's already done! LOL

Loads the stuff on Argon Equipment docks. Now I have to drive to the closest one and check this out.
 
Yipes! Not a cheat at all! My reputation is way too low, and since it's millions to buy I won't be getting these for a while. *sigh*. Good "Addon" though...

That "Free Jump" might be a better solution, Bill. It deducts credits in the same amount of Energy Cells you would have to buy. I think that's fair too.

hmmm.. I didnt notice the drop in credits. I can deal with that I guess. So long as I do not have to contiunously dock at Energy Cell stations all the time for mini hops..

Yep, its already in there. Just go to Jump Drive in Nav mode and you see all the controls in there.

Nice script!!

Looks like version 1.4 added the credits exchange. I picked that one because it added jump commands for Wings.

This is much better! Now I can seek abandoned ships!

I have to confess,

I became an illegal trader of Space Fuel.... Dang! I wonder how? I was blinded by the huge profit.... I was so guilty I want the local police catch me, but they would not.... man, how will I straighten my act?

It was good it was just a game.... will I surrender to local authorities? :icon_lol:

You better watch out! I got a freight scanner, finally. I'm also getting my Law Enforcement licenses for the various races. I'm looking for you! :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:




So this blew my mind last night. What fun!

Captured a Demeter Super Freighter last night. Then right after repairing it up and sending it to dock, another pirate one appeared. As soon as I got the shields down, the guy bailed! So I'm the proud owner of two Demeter Super Freighters. :icon_lol: Wow, they are big!
 
Well, I ran my first trading run last night as a "humble trader." Humble, indeed, as I think I lost about 1,000 CR on the deal. I ran the little run described in the game manual to see how it's done, as well as exercise some of the basic ship commands. I'm getting the hang of the autopilot and issuing commands to the little fighter that came with my Mercury. Wow! I haven't left the sector yet, and am still looking for a station that will sell me some weapons. I'm a little nervous flying around without any defenses.

I received a message last night telling me to fly to Omicron Lyrae to help with Terran settlers, and I don't want to go into that unarmed. Must find weapons!

I can see how this can become so addictive. I was amused by a paragraph on one of the first few pages of the game manual - "Say goodbye to family/social life." :icon_lol:

Edit: BTW, my older PC rig seems to have no trouble running this. A single-core 3Ghz with 3GB RAM and a 256MB AGP graphics card work just fine, both before and after applying the patches.
 
There definitely is learning curve to this game. It can be frustrating at first, but it's not too difficult a curve. The thing is there are so many different opportunities for someone. It's so open ended.

Last night, I saw a ship. It belonged to some royal family it turns out. I'm noticing more and more personal ships in the game. Then later on I realized that's for folks that truly want to be "Privateers". So you can even be a pirate if you want. Arrr! :icon_lol:
 
Congrats Dain in your new Super Freighters. Those are cool looking ships. They remind me of the Naboo styling in SW. Sort of 1930's Emperial design, complete with gold trim, lol..


Craig,

Watch your prices. Never purchase Energy Cells for more then 12 or 13 Cr. Always check the prices before you buy, and always check the buying rate as well. I wouldnt buy EC's for 15 and then sell 2,000 of them for 16. Wouldnt be worth it. Try best sales, like buying for 12, and selling for 18 or 19 Cr's. Then you make a ton of money on each sales run.

Some military 'munitions' factories purchase at higher prices, such as Ore. For instance, Ore should always be bought at 50 Cr, then sell for no less then say 145 Cr. Teladianium Foundries will purchase Ore at 145. Some missile factories will purchase Ore at nearly 200 Cr and more. (I think I have seen 240 or 280, cant remember). When you get a super freighter, then you will start really raking in the money.


Back to alien freighters and fighters. I tend to like the Split ships most, and then the Boron ships. (I dont know why). But yesterday, I noticed at Walmart, a SW ship available that looks like a Split cargo ship, lolol... All rusty and reddish looking. Reminded me of the Jawa sand crawler vehicles. Big, reddish things, built for hauling cargo...

I'll have to check out a Split fighter and see what they fly like.

Geez folks this thread is going nuts, 14 pages and over 4500 reads...:ernae:

I will be watching for the next few days cuz it looks like the Media Center is "Toast" the error looks like a corrupt file on the OS drive and I can't seem to replace/repair it, so I am going to blow it away and reinstall... What a PITA!!!

Oh well when I am done I hope to be running a nice shiney version of Win 7 so I can use all of the 8 gig of RAM I have installed.

Wish me luck I am about to start backing up the apps now so hopefully I can restore the current configs after I reinstall everything.

Some days I wonder why I gave up drinking....
 
Heh, I've gotten two more smaller Frieghters. Kinda tickle them with the lasers til they bail. Think I just went into the "Previously Owned Frieghter" business. :icon_lol:

And speaking of...

I picked up a couple of the pilots, since I had a cargo bay life support system. Seems like you could 'trade' them somewhere? But I can't remember where. :kilroy:

Hey Mike,

Sorry to hear that. I was hoping you could do a repair on the Windows from on another drive. arrgh..

Could you load Win7 on a diff drive and have that as your primary and just use the present primary as your secondary?

(hope that makes sense)

Hope you get it running soon.. You're missing out!



Roger that Dain,

Man.. You will have a fleet of Freighters, lol..

I just went up against about 7 Kha-Ahk fighters and scouts and lived.. Well, once, nearly done, I had one fly into me. So I had to reload from a saved point where I ran off to reload missles at a station. (arrgh).

Got them all though. I couldnt get one to give up. Coms were 'hangups' lol.. Fiesty little booogahs..!
