Anybody know where to find weapons platforms ?? I think they're Argon, but I've looked everywhere ....... and nada (including "cheats").
 
If it's an "Orbital Weapons Platform" - I think you might find those at a shipyard. If the 'regular' shipyards don't have them, the 'super' shipyards might. There's an Argonian super shipyard in Legend's Home. I was just there, browsing factories. OTAS has a shipyard there as well.

Checked it out but...............not on the menu.
Like I said, they're not even on the "cheat" menu ! Weird !

Hey LD,

It was only a guess. I'm a little surprised. I did a little digging and found this thread over at Egosoft http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=226074. Apparently you can't buy one, but it might be possible to capture or claim one. Getting it back to where you want it seems to be the trick. It wasn't clear from the thread how successful anyone has been in doing this.
 
Just out of curiosity, can you even dock with a weapons platform? If not, and if it doesnt do anything, then it might just be a stationary scenery object, like asteroids.

After reading the thread, my understanding was that it had to be boarded by Marines (like you would with an 'enemy' ship) in order to capture it.

The thread then went on to imply that you could 'beam' over a jumpdrive and e-cells and command it to jump to the sector where you wanted to place it, but it had to be tractored over to its desired position. At one point a mod pointed out that having an M2 on patrol might be a better (simpler) option.
 
Laser Tower available at 'Oceans of Fantasy' (perhaps near the Nevada sector???), none in stock at my visit, but they can be purchased there.

:d
 
Which ship is this?

Hey all... Is that one of our ships (from X3) that Ickie has used for the top banner beside Merry Christmas? I believe it is, but I'm not sure which...:applause:

Yes Yank... That's our very own Nemesis


:ernae: :ernae: :ernae:
 
Yep!

I had done it for just our room. I didnt think it would be accross the entire forums. eeeks..


I wonder if the Nemesis is designed for ramming ships!? With this long prongs on the front and the odd hatch like apparatus, it almost looks like it rams its enemies, and then cuts into the hull through that opening section.

Cool looking bird...



Bill
 
The Nemesis is one of the coolest looking ships there are.

There is one other that has the pincers, but it isn't as mean looking though.

Good job on the banner Bill, very cool.

Thanks Marlin,


I felt kind of bad though. Its a 'flight sim' website, not a space sim website. I only did it for us in here. I hope the others arent angry about it.

I guess they can think of it as a futuristic Tube Liner... :d

OK, simple question here... How exactly, do I activate/utilize/or make work the cheats? I've downloaded and installed the "cheat package" and plug-in manager written by "cycrow", but haven't figured out yet how to activate anything.. I'm really new at this, but was really loking only to get the "carry passengers" cheat installed, so I can earn a bit of money while exploring in my Discoverer ship. I've used most of the money I was given to start with improving its speed and rudder (goes about 400m/sec now), but I've got no weapons and minimum shields. Was cruising along last night, went through a gate in a pirate sector (found this out this morning when I peeked at a map) and was run into by a much bigger ship, causing me to explode...lol. I'd been warned about not lingering near a gate, but got a bit of forgetfulness while I looked at my sector map... Dummy, eh?? lol :isadizzy:
 
Hey Yank,

Its such a huge game, theres no way you can learn it all quickly.

If you have installed the package via the Mod Manager, then its ready to run.
* Bring up your Command Console menu (dark gray or black, bring up via Shift-C when 'un-docked' )
* Click / select 'Special' and then Cheat, and then Add Wares, Upgrades, and Equipment

There, you can now select Shields and select add max quantity of shields. You can add Equipment, and select 'Add Cargo Lifesupport. Transporter is also in there.

There is also a Mod for hyper jumping. Well, 2 actually. I downloaded both, and they are now in my Command Console / Navigation menu. I 'hot-wired' my quick jump to my ~ key and now if I want to jump somewhere, I use that key. But I need Jump Drive for it to work. I always purchase my jump drives. I usually only cheat on things I cannot normally buy or obtain.

Quick Jump will not require batterys. One version of this Mod though will deduct the amount of cost of batteries for each jump, so you at least have some realism to it.


Yep, hanging out by a gate will sometimes have bad results...

I was watching a Xenon J pick off people as they came through the Xenon gate. Each time a ship came through, it barraged them with a huge wave of weapons fire, lol... Bumms...


Bill
 
Bill, you are absolutely right about the games "hugeness" t say the least. I really only want to get the "carry passenger" cheat activated at this point, just to be doing something while I'm exploring. I just got out of the safer sectors last night for the first time, and after reviewing a map this morning, I could see I was headed right out of the pirate sectors I had go into anyway. I do not have the map-tied-to-the-game installed yet, and will probalby keep it that way fro awhile, as the exploring is good fun for me right now. I'm sure I'll drift over to the fight them area soon enough, but that's for the future... so much space, so little time....:isadizzy:

I didnt at first either. Not till I had found just about everything did I start looking at the map, and that was usually just to find the routes as some of the routes seperate in junctions and you have to find a joining link to get through to certain sectors without the Jump Drive, (like when bringing home a new clunker one finds for sale cheap on the other side of the known galaxy, lol).

Man its fun finding all those new sectors... I would fly for an hour each night finding new ones and mapping out each sector. So much to explore...

LD;

I just found this in the ships listings. Weapons Platforms are called;

Small Orbital Weapons Platform
Medium Orbital Weapons Platform
Large Orbital Weapons Platform


Look for that in the cheats
