You can always bypass the xenon sector just go the long way
you will also map a large part of the galaxy doing it.I really shouldn't have started reading this thread. I'm getting the X3 itch really badly now... I love the x-series, but have resisted TC so far.
The thing is, when I start playing these games everything else tends to fade into the bacground, and I waste hundreds of hours on it. Not sure how much longer I can resist thoughI already have it installed and ready on steam as well!
play it you know you want to
[edit]
I noticed the universe map link on the OP was broken so ive found a new one http://eng.x3tc.ru/x3_tc_map/?c=NDQ1MDQxOQ#1 OP updated

The only way to transport software is by installing it on a ship.
so you have 3 options
1) buy a fast ship (m5) install the software and send it to the station.
2) order the ship you want the SW to the equipment dock to buy the software
3) if you have the proffits to spare. Buy a TM and several fighters fill the TM with them, fully equip the TM. Install the software you want on the fighters and jump the TM to the station.
Transport the software from one of the fighters to the new ship then jump the TM back to a EQ dock to re supply with software. (hope this makes sence)
sounds like you need a jump drive
You should already have enough rep for one,
Stations that sell jump drives
Terracorp HQ - Home of light
OTAS HQ - Legends home
Atreus HQ - Queens Harbour
Torus - Earth
See if you can sneak into Earth. It's good fun
we should have a competition so see how long you can survive in earth orbit with out access rights
Not tried it myself but now im going to have to have a play.
energy cells
TC is more than just a few more ships/sectors.
1) Lots of new ships inc 5 new ship classes. There must be over 100 new ships available.
2) Lots of new sectors inc the entire earth system. Without counting there must be over 40 new sectors.
3) a new easier to use interface
4) An M0 you can actually get and use without scripts.
5) complete rework of the entire weapon chart, gone are the days of alpha beta and gamma weapons.
6) addition of 10+ new weapons.
7) 10 or so different plots for you to follow at your will.
8) new mission types and rewards
9) cant think of any more but im sure there are a lot more.
They need to add more depth to the game, something genuinely new and interesting, perhaps some fps elements for stations and planets, they could do something like mass effect but focused mostly on trading and stuff, it needs something new for someone whos been playing all these years, i hate to feel this way about a series i love but sadly i do.
Just wait they are working on something new its going to be big... really big.

ooo where do you get that?
You will find it abandoned in one of the sectors the unfocused jumpdrive takes you to.
There is a trick to captureing it, cant remember the details right now but its doable.
Well in my current game i have a few 100m credits and a reasonable sized fleet nothing special.
MY fist game i had several billion credits and a massive empire. But things become to easy at that stage so i restarted.
It would be nice to get a mk3 trader up and running as fast as possible to begin with, so any new or old advice for TC would be great!
Fastest way to get a mk3 up and running is to claim some abandoned ships sell some to get a mk3 and some credits. Then with one of the abandoned TS's send your mk3 to trade.
Guess you'll just have to keep an eye out for upcoming X3:TC mods
ah yes X3:TC XTM is in the works cant wait.
If you are doing the Terran missions then you wont need to buy anything better than a m4.
Rewards for Terran missions include a M3, M6, and a TP. So you can just upgrade with the freebies. These will keep you going until you need a M7
Use the right weapons for right job and you can minimise FF.
The boreas might be the best M2, but a M1 with full fighter complement will make mince meat out of a it.
Anyone here completed the hub?
The amount of stuff you have to collect for one blooming boron is ridiculous, it must work out to hundreds of millions of credits worth, they should have at least made it more realistic, how does he alone have time to use all that 450000 units of ore and 250000 crystals and so on exactly?
Ive not played in awhile keep meaning to complete that mission but never have.
The only reason to bother completeing ot is to get the PHQ mission.
There are scripts that make the hub easier.
I know thats one monster of a plot and you have to finish it in order to get the player HQ.
I much prefer the early small man against the universe stage
, this time i decided to do the Poisoned Paranid start.For those that dont know it start with its own mini plot, you need to make 25million credits in 3 days. If you manage this you get a overtuned Hyperion and a Advanced Perseus.
I managed to complete this plot in 12 hours and am now about 3 days in with 100million in the bank and about 200million worth of assits.
Im about to start the hub plot, i might even finish it this time
Its easy if you know how.
I started with a ts and a few 1000 credits, sold one of the shields from the ts giving me enough money to start trading you can easily make 100k profit per run.
Traded my way to the nearest abandoned m3 (in this case the mamba) once i had a m3 i started doing combat missions while i did remote trading with the ts, 20 or so missions later i had enough to get my hyperion.
3 days in ive got a space fuel mega plex pumping out 1m proffits per hour, several UT's running around and my personal flagship Xenon Crusher (a bores). With my combat rank as it is now i make about 10 per mission.
Recently found 2 patrol missions in the same sector, made about 30 million from the mission and another 40 million in dropped equipment. Thats 70million for a few hours work.
