Just started really getting into X3 after being intimidated by it for a while, having never really played the X series before, but loving space/econ sims, and I honestly think I would of given up if it wasn't for these walkthroughs. Much appreciated.

Thank you..  Glad it helps :P

I wouldn't call ship naming your 1100th ship ...pointless. Either way, if you watch the entire series, I talk about ships being on standby.

@TheRealz: You don't have to buy one up front. Just hire one, it's much MUCH cheaper. I think it was 10k per gate jumped through.

CdrDave, I enjoyed a lot all of your tutorials!

Just would like to point out that the default values don't work so well. If you set to use jump drives and leave everything else on default, the ships will pretty much just shop around for the resources and not sell anything on the first hours. It's better to limit "Purchase Resources" on "Trade Duties" to something like 40% (instead of the default 80%) or use "Supplier Ships" up to 60% and "Trader Ships" on 20%... And change other options as well

My Commerial Agent won't sell my products for some reason I have him on default.

Shut up Douche.

im using commercial agents but im not sure...

Do you only need 1 agent per station? and will he order around all the non-agent traders based in the station or do you have to make each trader an agent?

You spend so much time talking about pointless things like why you name your ships whatever, and you don't bother editing out things like you buying and naming ships. If you're going to make a CAG tutorial, then tell me how to set up CAGs. I'm here because mine are on standby, not because I care what your naming convention is.

What ships are you using for CAG? Pretty much what I'm asking is, what ships is best for transporting your goods? Especially something like a 6 or higher Teladianium complex hub.
