Shipyards no, but you can use the HQ to build ships once you get their blueprints.

Giving this game another bash, starting off as a trader and planning to go combat as soon as I can get a decent ship. Currently trading energy and sometimes ore in the sector called Ore Belt.
Out of all my previous tries at getting into this game I just give up because it takes too long to make money, I'm currently at about 300k credits and the boredom is killing me as I try to get more. Any tips for quick credits?

cool.
So what you think then, put my 13 million into some more ut's, some factories or a better ship for me.,
Tbh I'd rather earn my way up rather than just being given stuf via the terrain plot (which is a tad dull anyway)
Depends if you want to kill lots of things or trade. Not sure what ships you can get for 13mil of the top of my head.
Go grab the nearby abandoned eclipse (half decent m3 and reasonably kitted out).
Do some extra combat missions to get 500k, use that to buy trade software mk3 and set your old hauler up as a sector trader in empires edge.
He'll bring in some cash while you also make money blowing stuff up
like i said I can buy the terran m6 or their m3's.
Or i can wonder off and do some other races missions till i unlock their m6's that should boost me up to around 15 mill too.

I like the Terran ships so I usually have 1 or more of all there ships at some point. But up to you want you want, on egosoft forums there are some links to stats ect for each ship.
Also make sure you can afford to equip the ship.

Indeed they are fast, well armed but little shielding.

Note to self, Don't shoot anything you will get utterly destroyed

I've noticed X3:TC for £25 on Amazong but just below it X3: Gold edition is £15 which has reunion plus TC, me confused but hey ho get both it seems! Not sure if i should play reunion first then tc, I like story but does this game have much of it?
Find the cheapest way to buy TC and just play TC if it comes with Reunion
It's basically a sandbox. There are some mission/story arcs within it but you can do what you want, build up your own fleet of ships, trader, bounty hunter etc or do the missions whenever you like.

well got my skiron, 8 HEPT in front, 2 PRG in the rear turret for antimissile/light fighter defence, 1 PRG in each side turret for anti missile defence and 1 EBC in each side turret for fighter defence. (but they can fire straight forward and straight back so can fire on main target).
The turning like like Stephen hawking trying to drag himself to the toilet, but in strafing runs it's excellent
Also got 2 plasma burst generators from my old m3 in the cargobay just in case
Suicide runs at other m6 +s are exclent.
IT's a Fly right at them as quick as possible firing with all guns, either they explode and we fly through the wreckage or we fail to destroy them and ram the bow through them (discovered this tactic when i tried to do a strafing run and realised too late that my turning wasn't good enough to pull out of the suicide dive )
Now just need to find some good missiles to equip it with.

Best way to make proffits quick is to do combat missions, it starts low but you will soon be getting millions per mission.
I want something quick and with enough fire-power to blast a ho0le in god
Then you want the,

Best way to make profits is to go here and read the thread http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=263657. Beats the initial grind anyway (which I have done too many times now!).
I along with allot of other people consider using that exploit cheating.
you might as well just script your self several billion. you will get the same sense of achievement.If you know what you are doing you can easily get passed that inital grind without resulting to this and it will take you about the same amount of time.
I managed to complete the poisoned paranid plot and got my hyperion with in 12 hours.
need some good missiles for my m6, currently using wasps in huge numbers to take out faster fighters.
Awesome thing, a heavy centar with no shields and about 85% hull can be rammed into oblivion att he cost of about 30% shield power

Beluga - similar to banshee(not buyable)
Cyclone - never used
Disruptor - (not buyable)
Dragonfly - good anti fighter missile
Fire-storm - anti capital / station
Firefly - crap
Firelance - crap
Hammerhead - anti capital / station (not buyable)
Hornet - good against slow m4's / M3's
Hurricane - crap
Mosquito - not much use against anything bigger than a m5
Rapier - same as mosquito
Remote Guided Warhead - good alround missile
Silkworm - m4 / m3 killer
Tempest - see hornet
Thunderbolt - see hornet
Tornado - useless
Typhoon - m3 / m6 swam missile
Wasp - m5 / m4 swam missile
Wildfire - nice anti m4 / m3 missile (not buyable)

If you think the skiron is good then you should try one of these.
http://x3t.roguey.co.uk/ships/get_ship.php?id=290
its better on all counts and can even dock 2 fighters
. you can even get overtuned versions with speeds upto 230.There is only 2 ways you can get one, capture them or complete a special plot that comes with the poisoned paranid start.
Or if you are a speed junkie, get your hands on the fastest M6 in the universe
http://x3t.roguey.co.uk/ships/get_ship.php?id=219
it can even mount flak like starburt shockwave cannon and the deadly matter - antimatter projector, thats m7 class weaponry in a m6.
You can only get them from the aladran shipyards, which you will get access to once you complete the first terran plot.
