X3:Terran Conflict has arrived

x3 tc can be added to steam, so you have the steam in game browser/chat :D

If you like you can even watch peepshow on 4od for long seta trips :p



Got a link to the auto explore script?



I think I'm going to try the poisoned paranid start :D

edit: hm,m seems i don't have that start unlocked, anyway to unlock it without having to play though the tormented teladi start?

edit edit: Did it with dirty dirty registry editing :p

One thing I found annoying is that npc stations are disappearing. Having read on the egosoft forums the engine decides to get rid of factories if they are not used. As an example all the tractor beam factories and complexes have gone so I had to build my own. It's not limited to tractor beams some of the high end equipment for battleships has gone aswell.

I am enjoying the game just trying set up my cages so I don't have to do as much micro management when some of my facs run out of silicon or ore. Currently doing the hub mission. Need to build more teladanium and ore complexes.
 
im still early game so far ive got
2x dolphin merchant ships with 7600 cargo (without upgrades)
only one has trade mk3 though i need another 100k to equip the second one

1x octopus ship with 543 m/s speed equiped with a triplex scanner auto exploring the universe (does a system pretty quick, ive got it scanning the asteroids to)

im flying about in my own octopus keeping an eye on things, im trying to play without going afk and leaving seta on because thats cheating imo so ill only use seta if im actually travelling somewhere
 
Not using SETA, that's hardcore :p.

I took onboard the tip about placing 1mj shield factories in Argon Prime ... awesome tip :) placed 3 in a complex and literally as soon as production completes the shields have been sold, there one second and gone the next. :D
 
well i dont mind SETA while im playing but i see no point in the game if im goinbg to leave seta running at times when i dont itend to play, i can imagine some people leaving it going over night etc
 
Are there any essential mods etc to download? I remember a long time ago when playing my ships would often run into things :(

Back then as well there were some trade mods that were very handy which improved universal traders and the like.

Might fire it up again at some point and see if I can't get a small empire running :D
 
I bought X3:TC in the Steam sale, after playing X2 a long time ago on a system that culd barely run it!

I've followed th Dummies guide so far and am trading between SPP and Ore factories in Ore Belt, and it seems to be taking for ever to get any profit, around 100k in the last 3 hours. Is there anywhere better to be trading this early on or should I stick it out for now?
 
it does take ages to get started.
basicly its just a grind until you can afford "trade command softwarem mk3" which costs 500k stick it on your hauler and set it to auto trade while you explore or whatever in a different ship
dont just stay in the same system or it will take ages for the prices to go back down i was just buying ore/energy for cheap and selling them on wherever almost all stations making militarty type stuff need ore just travel to a system and click on them all until you find one that is desperate and paying a good price.
 
Ah ok, I guess the money just keeps trickling in once I've got a ship set up to run around trading by itself.

Another SPP has spawned right next to the other in Ore Belt, so theres near enough no downtime now and thngs are happening a little quicker.
 
it hasnt spawned youve just found it :P
you can usually see stuff by eyes manually flying around but they dont apear on your sector map until you have flown close enough so they are within your ships radar range.

one of the reasons i added the script that allows the "explore software" to keep exploring every sector on its own without me having to manually tell it to explore each sector.

someone made a mod manager that lets you easily install/uninstall mods

took me ages to get this far but now i should start getting a nice income stream aslong as me satelite network deployer doesnt eat all the profits buying satelites

So stations don't spawn in the game?

Thats really odd! Its right in the middle of the flightpath between the original SPP and the nearest ore mine, at least I think it is lol.

Was offered a Boron Vangard for under 100k, complete with lazers, so snapped that up to use for a few combat missions once I can afford the MK3 trading software for my starter Mercury.

I wish i could games looks ok but i found it very confusing esp the user interface i couldnt get past a few mins after the intro :(
Click to expand...

then buy an xbox360 :D

btw i got 6 traders running now but im down to 64k credits LOL only 1 trader has a load to sell aswell... ive probably mapped the majority of the map with my auto-explore ship and my network builder has so far built 105 satelites XD (all in different systems)

i think now i might save up for a ship which can carry station modules so i can get into manufacturing

Is the network deployer an unoffical addon or in the vanilla TC game? Never heard of it before, always placed satellites myself :( pita.
