X4 Foundations

isnt it just the person with the most admin centres, factions will war you if you try to claim their sectors though.

I don't see why it wouldnt be possible to take a xenon sector
 
Just realised not only pirate stations buy illegal wares. Neat. More profits. Currently building a station in argon prime that sells every single piece of war equipment.

Traders are idiots. My biggest ship filled up with 40k units of food rations worth about 2 mil and just sat in space confused. 2 jumps away there was a trading post with no food rations in stock...
 
I had to switch back to the main branch after I started a new game in patch 1.5 and found I couldn't access my inventory. Bit of a problem when interdicted by police who asked me to drop the illegal goods. I couldn't access it to drop it..I had to run and hide in their own dock.

Started a new game again in the main branch and it worked again. Just about to switch back and retry my previous save to see if it's fixed....

When I have given in to the Police, I drop my contraband from the option you get when speaking to them after pushing f or clicking their portrait. Don't go into the inv' the normal way. Maybe that's what causing it?
 
Can’t wait for the patch that gets the AI to actually make ships. My factory that produces every single war component is full and making very little cash other than a few intermediate products selling.

I wonder how long it will be until a new save is required for patch effects to be seen. I know they are trying to avoid this.
 
Captured a Mammoth. I have no idea why. I don't need one, besides saving a totally inconsequential amount of money when station building. It was just I hadn't captured anything that big before. It was fun. Out of 31 marines I sent in, 5 survived. Repairing the thing took ages. It took so long, in fact, that I got a "game over" screen while out in my spacesuit. I can only speculate I ran out of air. A warning would have been nice, but I'd been f5ing, so no big deal.

Also, went ahead and captured Heretic's End. Might try capturing a Xenon sector next. Scale Plate Green, maybe? I don't remember it being a Xenon sector in X3, so I'd be liberating it. I have two destroyers... that might be enough? Xenon capital ships are push-overs.

Yeah,m that's the route I took. Press F then option 1 to drop goes to the inventory screen which is totes blank.

Further to my last I did carry on my working inv save into 1.5 and it instantly broke again. Off back to the main branch again :(

Not going to get the game as I don't have the time and got confused by X3. But I got to hand to the developers and their commitment to the community and patching their games so quick.

Turns out two destroyers and a bunch of fighters is not enough to kill a Xenon defence station. Couldn't get the hull below 97%. Gonna have to get some more destroyers, I think.

probably can just get some small ships to fire torpedoes but rearming this is a pain in the ass until we get the resupply ships
 
Yeah, the need to resupply is why I only took weapons that don't need ammo. Bolt guns on the fighters, beams on the destroyer turrets, standard main battery cannons for the destroyer main weapons. I figured the main battery cannons on two destroyers would be enough to whittle the station down, but it self-repaired so quickly I couldn't get it below 97%. I was even parked close enough to the station that my beam turrets were hitting it too. Xenon stations can hull tank, who knew?

I'll try again with 5 destroyers once I scrape together enough funds to buy them. Then 10 if that doesn't work. I won't take fighters next time, they just got blown up without really accomplishing anything. Maybe one Nova or Quasar, kitted out with ions and bolts to take out station turrets. This sector shall be mine, one way or another.
