No point in keeping the m5 you m4 you start with is much better. Does it have weapons? if so keep them.
ship classes go like this.
m5 m4 m4+ m3 m3+ m6 m6m m7 m7m m2 m1 (there is a m8 as well but its a bomber and is only useful for taking out large tartgets from a distance)
its not allway exactly like this as some m3's are better than m3+'s but as a general rule its worth knowing.
True but there are M3's out there that are just as fast as M5's.

Only fighters can dock inside a TL, its the same with all internal ship docks.
There is one exception to this and thats the Aran(M0) but you cant buy this you have to acquire it.
Hey,
I just started playing this last night and I have to say I'm a bit lost
Just picked terran to start and am following the missions from the start but how can I break out and find other missions to make money? Also it seems I can't buy anything
when you finish that patrol missions you will be given a m5 which you can sell for proffits (make sure you strip the ship of any weapons or shields before you sell it)
Cool thanks. I did this and went a bit further and got given a wing of m5's which were promptly sold as well.
I have got to the stage where I need to run a courier mission into a restricted area so I assume to continue I will need some sort of transport ship and the required items.
In the meantime if I am told one more time "my notoriety is too low" I am going to break something haha. Is it just case of running missions for the right faction to improve this?
Also (last question I promise) how do I get into trade runs being run for me? I tried to read up but it got really complicated quickly, not helped by the use of acroynyms such as MORTS?
Thanks for any help, I really want to like this game I just think I am getting held back by not understanding most things

Before you enter the system it is best to do the first mission of the final fury plot, this gives you access to the sector (you can start this by contacting the exterminator in omicron lyre).
there are 3 types of traders
1) factory trader
These buy and sell for your factories, set the home base of the ship to your factory and chose the buy or sell ware for best price command
2) sector \ universe trader
To start a sector trader you need to install "trade software MK3" avaliable from all good telardi equipment docs.
Once you have that installed you can start a sector trader from the trade menu. The transport will now auto trade, as the ship trades more it will increase in rank.
The trader will only trade in low level goods to begin with (EC's ect) so you want to place him in a sector with several spp's and lots of other stations.
when the trader is high enough level he will trade all goods and can also be setup to sector trade over multiple sectors or even be turned in to a universe trader.
3) CAG's
These guys can be setup to do trade runs and lots of other complex stuff. Best to wait until you fully understand the game before looking at them.
Finaly the long wait is almost over

Could I ask for some hints and tips ?. I've just spent nearly 2 hours getting to grips with the games controls and interface only to lose everything because I bumped into a ship while in auto pilot.
I'm going to install the XTC mod as soon as it has downloaded too.
XTC is complete conversion mod none of the x3:TC plots or sectors will exist, I suggest you play vanilla TC as well as some of the plots are worth completing.
Auto pilot can be very bad at times, be very careful with it if you are in a fast very ship or a slow ship with poor turning.
If you dock at stations you can save the game, when you have a bit of cash to spare find some salvage insurance (with this you can save anytime)
Get a bigger ship that way when the auto pilot screws up its the other ship that goes boom not yours
yes just fly your self if you are following (you can get the auto pilot to follow properly but its not easy), I only use the auto pilot to travel long distances with seti enabled.
If it gets close to a object seti will disengage giving you a chance for a emergency manoeuvre. It can still give some brown pants moments.
Personally i just go in guns blazzzing and wipe them out, not that hard if you have some combat skills. If you are lucky you can even force some to bail.
The xenon L's in the sector you start following the nova will bail easily a few hits into the hull and they will normally go blue claim those abandoned ships and make some easy proffits.
Yup its big there are mods out there that make it even bigger. Get you self a jump drive ASAP will make travel around the universe much easier
Same here I have had the game ages and really need to put some time into it, One of my missions has stopped and can't continue cos I sodded off somewhere and can't find the ship I was supposed to scan
Which mission might be able to help.
there are scripts that add repair drones that will speed up repairs
Some one may of created a mod to do just that you would have to check.
When you want to start doing build missions or when you want to start building complexes. You want a ship that can jump in drop its stations the jump out and grab some more.
There are massive differences,
New ships and new ship classes.
New sectors and stations
Additional Factions and companies you can work for
Lots of new mission types
Lots of plots you can chose to follow

Its possible that the trading station is the only station in range that wants bogas at the price you want to sell at.
Check the selling price and distance settings of the station.
Decrease the sell price and or increase the selling range and it should start to work. Remember to equip the selling ship with a jump drive and set it up to use it.
Equipment doc and trading station, can be setup to buy sell any ware you want. (i think you must have at least 1 of the ware you want to use in your cargo hold in order to add it)
The only thing they cant sell is software.
What type of complex have you built? Some stuff just isnt popular
how long has it been there? I can take awhile for news to spread about your complex.
Are you selling to high? If its to high they wont buy.
Are all your customers having to pass through a Xenon sector to reach you?
things you can do:
1) drop the price, to attract customers.
2) wait, it could be that ships are on the way
3) eliminate the competition, then they have no choice but to come to you.

Its the start of a weed and booze complex copying exactly what VoG did on page 43 (Stealing ideas, but mainly as a tster for the concept)
Maybe it'll just take time.
I can eliminate the competition after lots of money is made to buy the m1 m2 fleet to do so
A m8 will flatten a station quicker than any M2 and at a fraction of the cost, it is even possible to do so without any rep loss.
