That link covers several X games so you should find it most useful ... I know I have.

http://x3.roguey.co.uk/stations/resource.php

That link will help you with trading until you have a handle on it yourself. Basically choose the resource you have to sell and it will tell you which stations buy it and the estimated buy/sell prices.

My beginners tip would be to start as the humble trader in Terran Conflict. Buy and sell ore until you have 1 million credits :)

good luck n' have fun.

Edit: Only buy from station with full or close to full stock ;)

Thanks mate - those links are very useful

So far so good - definately my type of game; can't believe I've never played it before!

if I trade in space fuel what kind of impact does this have on my rating etc? does it have any negative effect?
 
shame though one thing i always wanted was a system with a single gate and a load of battle stations around it :p

or to fill a habited system with about 5 fully armed large ones with full fighter bays and then declare war on the sections owner :P

depends on how you go about it.

small scale trading will make you some money but will invariably cause problems with assorted customs/police forces as it's illegal. large scale trading, as in manufacturing is pretty much a license to print money as long as you site your factories correctly.

i have a booze & weed plex in Avarice, the unknown sector between Montalaar ( Argon space ) & New Income ( Teladi space ). if your factories are in unknown sectors, the authorities leave you alone, & more importantly, your customers are the ones who have to run the gauntlet of customs/police etc & not you.

my Avarice booze & weed plex has paid for itself countless times allready & earnt me billions.

lol true dat, but it's made obscene amounts of money, is totally self contained & autonomous, & acts as a refueling station for my passing ships. oh & it's also paid for the best part of 20 Osaka's, so it can look like a pigs rear end for me :p
 
you seen those scripts that let you position factories/complexes in the most efficient manner?


they look awesome

I'm struggling with this game right now myself.

Trying to get things started but keep failling and just seem lost half the time. :(

lol that is pretty cool, how long did it take you to put that together?

Ok so I was raking the money in until I descovered it was illegal to carry it (spacefuel) in another sector and had to jettison the cargo, needless to say with it went a significant portion of my capital! :mad:

...and I was doing so well, anyway I have traded my way back up to almost a million again - live and learn hey! but this game is excellent, such a time sync but thats fine atm.

Taking a break but gonna go back to it in a bit. :D
 
Just finished for today. Got myself 3 Wheat factories in Argon Prime with 1 freighter each selling for 33cr or above. Buying Ecells from NPCs at 19cr seems to work rather well as none of the factories stopped production. I've put a 30k limit on each factory so the NPCs don't take all my profit by selling me ridiculous amounts of Ecells. I'm going to get 3 more freighters for the factories to buy Ecells rather than relying on NPCs plus they can buy them for 12-15cr instead of 19

So 3 freighters for the factories bringing in a not to shabby sum of money, I also have 1 more which is a Sector Trader in the Ore Belt which looks like a brilliant spot for now. Soon to be a universe trader when the pilot reaches level 8.

Really enjoying myself with this game. It's amazing how I used to think this game looked utterly boring when I was younger, yet i've spent 40+ hours in 1 week playing it. Spot the student on holiday.

Oh and note to self, don't park your ship in front of a gate while you go for a pee !.

Actually, thinking about it now I might go and say hello to the Paranid (I think thats how it's spelled) and see what services I can offer them. Hopefully they need expensive things :D It looks like they have a lot of ore and silicon which I can exploit :)
