Terran Conflict X3; Extreme Addiction!

Bill, to purchase a Player HQ, you need to complete the BelGi missions then it is added to some of the shipyards and you can purchase it. Or of course you can use a cheat script to add it to the bases, there is on listed in the mods & scripts form on Xuniverse, I have not tried too many scripts but it looks easy enough to do.

As far as storing surplus wares, your best bet would be to build a trading station, and adjust the parameters, you can blacklist specific races from trading so just ban everyone but your own race and you should have the whole thing to your self, then just make sure you set your prices well abouve market so no one from your race will buy your stockpile. You should be able to lower your price back down for trading any time you wish. I have not tried it yet in Terran Conflict, but if I recall correctly I used to do a Freight Exchange with my station to get my wares on and off my ships, rather than selling the goods to my self, give that a try.

Thanks Mike.

Good to know. So one does exist. :d

What a busy night, lol.. Working at adding 3 super freighter Mercury's to the fleet. You can only get them at Omacron Lyrae at the Argon Shipyard, so off I went to the other side of the Galaxy.


Getting them home would have taken an hour or so without jump drive. So sitting there at the shipyard, I realised, I could bring over the Tokyo via hyper jump, and deploy several small ships from her hanger and dock at the ship yard, freight exchange the Jump Drives to the new super freighters, then return the small ships to the Tokyo, send the Tokyo back to Argon Prime, and send the ships back to Home of Light for new Jump Drive replacements, and then with the new 3 ship fleet of Mercury's, send them to the next sector over, pick up Energy Cells, and have them jump back as a pack fleet, and reandevous at Argon Primes equipment yard.

I used the Nemesis as the primary HQ flag ship and managed the missions and flight deployments, freight transfers, etc.

and.............. For a moment, when the Tokyo came back to Argon sector, following just behind me, I had a photo moment and had to take some screenshots..

The Nemesis high over the huge Tokyo, her small fleet out getting refitted as she sits in park orbit high over Argon Prime.

..........then.. I set up 2 of the new Freighters for Sector Trading, and then started up Commodity Logistics with number 3 Freighter. That took a while. Slow learning on that thing. What a bit of sophistication. I read through the instructions on this new trade software, but I may have missed some things, or the newest version is different from the early tutorial.

But the ship is running and hauling ore. Should be interesting. Spent a fortune on everything, outfitting the freighters, buying them, etc. About 8 Million.. Now to recoup the investments and begin getting into the green.

Mike,

I cannot find the HQ station. I am thinking its only available at certain yards or a certain location. But its not available in the Cheats. (Perhaps its a diff script? or they only allow it with completion of that mission you talked about.. ).

From what I was reading it should be avaliable at "some" stations after the BalaGi missions, I am running the Apricot Mapping Service Mod right now and the Player HQ is part of the mod. There are a couple of Mod Scripts that look like they should work to add the PHQ, take a look at this FTP site : http://apricotmappingservice.com/X3TCdownloads/

From what I can see you need these 2 files :

Thanks Mike. I'll give that a look.

Man, I found many new sectors last night.. (many....!!!). I couldnt believe it. I found my first Boron shipyard. What a huge 'thing' that is. Looks like the Boron ships are definately organic or living. Looks like their ships are 'grown' in that thing. Pretty wild.

I took a ton of pics of it. My huge Nemesis corvette is a dot compared to it. You can barely see it. (Posting for those that havent seen one).

In the second two photos, you can barely make out the Nemesis parked next to the tower structure. Small tuning-fork looking thing. :d

I have not made it to a Boron sector yet in TC, I did cover them all in Reunion and I don't recall any ships like in your pics, I am on the hunt now.

I did find a couple of total mods for Reunion and I was up at 4:15 AM getting them set up, I will try to post some shots later. In the mean time you have to see this, I grabbed some shots from the WIP BSG Mods, now this is going to be VERY COOL, I also downloaded some add on ships, and if they are the BSG models I will post some from my own games as soon as I can figure out how they are activated.

I am working on some of the scripts now, I want to try the super tuning on my transport, "I feel the NEED for SPEED".

OK Quiz time, can anyone identify the ships in the clips and where they came from, 1, 3, & 7 are not BSG craft...
 
1. I dont know
2. 1st series Base Star (Cylon)
3. ST Federation Ship that protects that station near Bai Jour
4. 1st series Cylon Raider
5. 1st series Cylon Raider
6. 2nd series Cylon Raider
7. I dont know


I wonder if ships 1 and 7 are sketch designs for a SW film?
 
I've got a long way to go to catch up to Mike and Bill. Here's what I've been up to so far...

I've made it to most of the sectors surrounding Herron's Nebula and Argon Prime. President's End is depressing, and The Hole is just creepy. I've managed to make enough money hauling energy cells, ore, and space fuel to make nearly CR300K. I've applied most of the available upgrades to my trusty little M5Discoverer only to abandon it in favor of a used M3 Nova Raider some guy was selling. The M5 was fast, but it could only go so far with weaponry, and had absolutely NO staying power in a fight. I discovered the hard way that one salvo from the pirates was all it took...:pop4:

Speaking of pirates, I've taken some "protection" jobs and have managed to bag 4 of the pesky little things, capping one. The fanatical little b____rds simply won't give up. No biggee, though, I didn't make that much money off the one, and I can use the free missiles they drop.

I've been promoted several times to "Entrepeneur" as a trader, and "Novice" as a fighter. Things are lookin' up!

I figured 1 & 7 would not be easy, you are of course right on the others, #3 is based on the Defiant, which was in ST and Bablon 5.

Any other ideas on 1 & 7, they are tough!
 
Sounds good Craig!

Making money at first can be difficult. I did well at Ore. I could do some runs and in 2 days have a million credits saved up.

Now that I have my conglomeration fleet of everything I could find a several cheats, I have them working as sector and universe traders and I literally make a million during one quick game play. They work pretty hard and efficient. Some of the Freighters I found way over on the far side of the Galaxy trading.. .lolololol.. Its like, DANG!!!! They are worse then women in finding the best deals and sales, lolololol...

That's what I haven't figured out how to do yet - automated trading with the best buy/sell software. I figure I'll put in a couple more manual ore runs to build up cash again and then splurge for the software upgrades. I still haven't purchased the jump drives yet, either, and I know that will come in handy! :jump:

Once you go Jump Drive, you never go back. You jump everywhere.. Time is of the essence. All of my fleet each have a JD engine. Everytime I find one or buy one, I install them first thing with SETA drive.

For auto trading, you just purchase the bestbuy and bestsell installments for each ship and off they go, getting the best deals. Totally automated. Expensive, but very nice. Does your moneymaking for you and pays for itself in quick time..

#7 looks like a Heretic from Privateer 2.
 
Mike! I got it!

Some screenshots..

I didnt think it was that huge.. All I wanted was a station that acted as a wharehouse..



Here is a diagram of the scale of these things..

Right on Madman, from Privateer II the Darkening, I loved that game and X3 is just much bigger and far more advanced but the concept is just the same.

Any idea's on #1:isadizzy: :kilroy:

Bill congrats on the HQ, they are pretty awsome!

I will have to take my fleet home for a group shot soon, 82 strong now.
 
I think that the last spacecraft could be based on Jedi Starfighter from The Revenge Of the Sith..
 
I'm on a mission where I have to follow a Pirate ship to its base and then scan the base. I have every scanner available and no matter how close to the base I get......when I click on the base the scan option is not there !?!
Any suggestions ??

Thanks,

LD
