X3:Terran Conflict has arrived

Just started playing again after a few years gap making a bit of money ATM just from buying used ship from ppl
got 4 mil
6 ts's with jump drives
1 nova raider

thinking of getting some UT going now

nuts to buying secondhand ships, just hunt & cap Dukes frieghters, his pilots are mostly spineless & bail at the merest hint of a PBE salvo across the bows, claim the vacant freighter, break out the repair laser & reap 100% profitsssssss :D
 
As its single threaded I am not to sure you would notice much if any increase (not that I know too much about the different Intel chips at the moment.)

All Egosoft have mentioned about TNBT (thing next big thing) is that is a space sim/sandbox game. No one knows if its set in a new uni or set in the X uni but in a different time.
 
Hey All,

Ok I have X3 (had it for a while never played it), I now have bought X3:Terran Conflict. Is it worth me playing through X3 first??

No just jump strait to TC.

The two games are very similar except TC has

More sectors
More ships and new ship classes
New races\factions
More weapon types
More Missions \ plots
A reworked interface (this makes is slightly more noob friendly)

The only thing you might want to do at some point is play through the plot in reunion. This wont take long as its quite short but is good if you want to know how\why the Terran's are so different to all the other races.

X3 is great until you get that m7m/m2 or whatever and realise you can basically pwn anything in the universe. Kinda takes the fun out of it

Once you get to that point you can self limit yourself to certain classes of ship or race, or play a game in character. Personally I wouldn't say it was a game breaker.
 
ok... wouldnt mind some starting pointers, I dont know what to do :) any ideas people??

Stelly

What start did you chose the pointers will be different for each one.

On a side note i fail as Dead is Dead, died 3 times now 1st to FF, 2nd a Un-lucky missile and finnaly last night i crashed into the m6 i was pwning. Thats it im taking a break and going for a nice easy poisoned parinid start.
 
any idea why there are not Trading software mk3 in terran space or do I have to go ALL the way over to split space or argon space

Maybe there lazy, or they got Avd weapons but havn't be trading for 500 years so never work on that side

What i'm trying to say is terrans have only just came to the X Universe so while they keep making new weapons there was so reason for them to develop trade software well that my way of thinking

Trading MK3 is a telardi invention and as such is only sold by the them. You can also buy it from the Terra corp hq (they must have done a deal with the telardi to supply the software in argon space.)
 
hey all, just downloaded this from steam. i have started as the terran, enjoying it so far, seems like a good winter game to while away the dark evenings.

I have a quick question, i have just been given a new ship an m5 i think am i best off using this and selling the old one or keep both ??
 
If I remember right, that M5 that they give you is quite a bit worse than the starting ship (an M4?).

Either way at that point in the game its probably best to sell the worse ship and use the credits elsewhere. M5s have such low shields making them pretty useless as AI wingmen at that stage in the game. Just having one or two of them doesn't make much of a difference and they go down so quickly that you will be cursing the loss of credits.

Until I had spare money and was building up some support wings, I only kept one of the really fast M5s that I used for mapping out the universe and getting from A-B quickly without a jumpdrive.
 
ideal, thanks for the advice. think i will sell the m5 as it is slower than the ship u start with.
Glad i found this thread, seams like such a complex game may need a lot of advice as i get deeper in .
