depends how you go about it really. i built 6 complex's containing 32 chip plants, i also stationed CAGS at the hub to buy up chips etc for the hub plot, & it took me atleast a good couple of weeks to complete the hub plot, as bare in mind you will need the following:

400 x Computer Components
500 x Microchips
10,000 x E - Cells (Gate Pair 1)
150,000 x Teladianium
450,000 x Ore
500 x Nividium
250,000 x Crystals (Gate Pair 2)
15,000,000 x Credits
400,000 x Silicon Wafers
75,000 x Microchips (Gate Pair 3)

for me the final 75,000 Microchips where going to be the hardest so right at the very start of the hub plot, when i gained control of the first gate pair, i put the hub between Asteroid Belt & Heretics End, & bought a Mammoth which i parked in the Asteroid Belt, i then built my chip complex's, set them not to trade with the NPC's, & set a ship to go round each chip plex, collect the chips & deliver them to the Mammoth for storage till later. all the other requirements can be met by the X3 universe with pretty much minimal effort.
 
Simple people transport quests, for some reason in my m3 with a cargo life support, i seem to be able to do most of them, but some, still only moving one person, when i dock they complain and say to get a passenger transport.

Any method around this, or know which quest is which prior to acceptance?

when you comm the station, read the briefing carefully as it allways tells you when a TP is needed, if there is no specific mention of a TP, then any life support equipped ship will do.

Hmm started playing this again after a year or so and now when I dock the voice overs no longer work? I cannot hear any talking in game at all now. (Yes I have checked the voice setting its set to 95%)
 
Strange, luckily I haven't encountered that one.

Its been really stable for me, I think I've had one crash in 140 hours or so.

Started some plots now also, still finding building credits slow, but getting there, must start building complxes later, at what stage should one buy a TL, as hirign them doesn't seem overly dear.

Basically wondering if a TL universal trade is an option? Or if it would ultimately turn into an expensive loss?

buy your own TL once your reps high enough with all the races so you can buy any station you want, that way, you can do station build missions for the NPC's, depending on the stations they want building, & how high your rep is, you can make C100 mill in a matter of hours doing NPC station building missions.

As for using a TL to UT, it's not possible, TL's can only dock at shipyards, equipment docks, & military outposts.
 
Is there much difference between this and Reuinion? I have Reunion ATM and I'm trying to figure it out and it would be nice to know if I got another game to go after this one.

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

I seem to have messed up somewhat

Made my first complex, a bofu bogas production in kingsdoms end, hoping to make bofu to sell in the local area, but whoopsie, seems my selling ship, runs between the factory and the local trading hub selling 4 and 5 items at a time, with his cargobay full of the rest of the stuff, and not progrssing to other stations to sell larger quantities.

I see oddles of time that station might sit completely inactive, and not ever recovering its production costs.

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.
 
Thanks Shadez, the interface enhancements alone tempted me because they are rooted deep on Reunion! Downloading as we speak.
