X3 For A Noob

[Pablo72]

Got this game several months ago. Played it for a week and gave up. I now hear that a ton of patches and mods are out for it, making the thing a little easier for the noobs.

Any chance some kindly X3 veteran could give me some pointers on what I should download, where to find decent noobie guides for the game, and general advice for a first timer?

I was going to put this into the main X3 thread, but thought I might stand a better chance reaching a larger audience with a new thread.

Thanks in advance.

been capping the boron im pirate space and the paranid in argon space and been selling the components to start up a large wheat farm. then I got enough for 2 space fuel m factories to create my space fuel complex and selling at 715 credits....never gets above 200 stock ....always sold out.

done that in the split sectors as well and am doing it bordering the boron and paranid to get rep back up again ;p


im currently driving the xenon lx which I capped earlier...cost 3mil to repair though ;-( and that wasnt including shields and weaps.
the lx includes an improved air conditioning system and power steering ;p

Almost as confusing as the game itself! lol. Glad I asked.

Seriously, thanks for the comments... I will be heading over to the Egosoft forums as suggested.

Well, I have been into the X3 forums, done a lot of reading... and decided I just don't have the dedication to learn this game. Don't get me wrong, it looks and sounds like an amazing game... just not for me.

So of anyone wants to buy a hardly used copy of X3... I'm yer man! lol.

Thanks to those who responded to the original post.
