X3:Terran Conflict has arrived
- Thread starter Shadez
- Start date
Easy!
A+Q / D+E for the strafe and roll, mouse wheel to change speed and holding Right click to fire
In normal flight I use Z and X for speed control though
Don't really tend to need to control the ship when I have the menu open, I guess it would be nice, but its not a major issue. I can aim better with a mouse than a joystick anyway
Thats a lot of keys needed, you can do all of it with one hand on a joystick. You also have better control over the rudder.
Would be nice if the game was MP then we could see which is best
Good question.
I dont think ive ever done the same thing twice.
In my first game of TC i started off with a saber(m4) then upgraded to a nova raider(m3), then went on to a panther(m7).....
In my current game i started with a scorpion(m5) then upgraded to a blastclaw prototype(m3), then onto a HCP(m6), then a shreik(m7)....
Generally you want to aim for a decent m3. Then move onto something bigger.
The cost of getting a decent m3 ranges from 0 to several million depending on what method you use to acquire them.
I suggest you take a trip to one of these sectors and look around a bit
Veil of Delusion
Menelaus' Oasis
LooManckStrat's Legacy
Blastclaw prototype > Advanced EclipseIt's all about Ocracoke's Storm
If you like well shielded M3's I'd check out The Unknown Sector behind Xenon Sector 534. Not easy to get too, but a nice find
That ship is one of the best to use in a fighter wing, so keep it safe until you can RE it and make loads of them.
keep getting pwnt on the mission after the one where you have to follow the pirate nova and scan the base
That mission is easy, how are you getting pwnd.
1st this thread is about X3:tc not X3:R, in X3:tc the comms range is 25km.
1) When you first visit a sector you have to map it, once mapped you dont need to do it again, There are software extensions that will map a sector for you. You can also buy system maps from the BBS in reunion or from trade missions in TC.
2) Trading system extension, then bring up the info for the station. Or you could use the best buy \ best sell software.
3) see 1
ok, i dont remember the pirates attacking as part of that mission. If you cant destroy them then my advice is leave the mission alone for awhile.
Go and do a station defence or trade mission or something that will make a bit of profffits. This should give the pirates time to leave the sector and they wont be a problem.

If you had to create “the ultimate game” what would it be?
Probably just the "ultimate" version of what we do already - the PERFECT space simulation game. You can go everywhere, be everybody, do everything and always have a lot of fun. Sounds simple enough to do, right? Well, we are on the job…stay tuned
As you might know X3:tc is the last game they are making in the X series, but just imagine what a ultimate / perfect space simulation game will be like..... me wants me wants NOW!!!!

Cant remember the split wanting me to kill any freighters, there is a part where some telardi wants you to take out some competition. Is this the one?
If so what part is the problem. If its getting into the argon sector then go and speak to the exterminator in omicron lyree and do the first few missions of the final fury plot(this will give you access to the sector)
We got that major upgrade with 2.0a ie the aldrin missions.
I got this game when it was on the steam special offer weekend
Sadly tho , when I try the training mission , I cant get past the "I eject this cargo canister"
bit , he doesnt eject a cargo container so it cant progress with it
Or Am I missing something obvious ?
To eject a cargo container open your freight menu, select the item then chose eject. simples
Depends on how low its got.
If they still give you missions then its easy. Simply do a couple of combat missions then you will be fine.
If you cant get missions then your options are limited.
ways to gain rank,
1) destroy pirate ships in argon space
2) destroy Paranid in argon space, this will damage your paranid rank but as long as you are careful you will be fine.
3) Trade, anything you sell in argon space or to a argon will add to your rank
4) find a patrol mission that goes into argon space, once there all kills will count to your rank.
Last time i ruined my argon rank i picked on the paranid and pirates.
Ah that argon sector, talk to the exterminator in omicron lyree and do the first few missions of the final fury plot. This gives you access to the sector.
no its based on your combat rank.
You will need something much bigger than a Nova for this plot. You will come up against Kaahk capital ships.
The first mission is a xenon patrol mission in blackhole, you should be able to do this in a nova.
The second is goto the argon sector.
ok but the next terran mission takes me though a xenon sector chock full of hostiles!
goes from EASY to VERY HARD in the drop of a hat!
also this missions marked as "Average"! godda take this guy I rescued to some system or other!
There is always more than one route to your destination.....
Failing that Jump drive.
If you are having lag problems try lowing the texture detail to medium. You should get between 0-1000% boost in gfx speed when they release the 2.5 patch.
Dont think it will run well at all on that setup the GFX card will really struggle.
0-1000%
Well 1000% is probably a bit of a over statement probably more like 100%
details of the 2.5 patch
http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=258911
its not out yet, they have just released details of whats in it.
You could easily be suffering from the save slowdown bug. This is fixed in the 2.5 patch if they ever release it.
TY, i will wear the medal with pride
No need to wait, the game is fully playable with the 2.1 patch. The only major problems that are fixed in the 2.5 patch wont come along until you have been playing for several days.

The Nova is a good ship, keep do the terran plot for awhile and they will give you a vidar one of the best M6's in the game. If you dont like the vidar finish the terran plot and get yourself a springblossom (ever wondered how powerful a M6 would be if it wasnt as slow as a snail, well this baby is fast. When i say fast i mean M5 speed fast)
