X3 Reunion - Time of Peace, Time of War

This began life as an attempt to make a building tutorial. Unfortunately I didn't have enough decent footage so I started adding peaceful scenes, and then combat started creeping in...

The first part is a basic tutorial on factory placement and building complexes. Then it goes into some scenes I had that did not involve combat.

The second part is lots of action so hang around for a few minutes for that.

And yes the end is admitting I lost that particular fight. What a surprise. :D Oh and my loadout for the Medusa is 3 AHEPT and 5 APAC with 2 BPAC in the turrets.

Music :
E Nomine: 'Psalm 23' & 'Vater Unser' from the album "Das Testement"

Remix of Rammstien and t.A.T.u

"Psalm 23" from E Nomine, from the album "Das Testament"

This game is immensely difficult to learn ! I bought it a while ago , loved the graphics and the free roaming galaxies but could't fathom half of the controls. Is there some kind of basic tutorial I could take to learn the very basics of trading etc ?

I just get lost all the time and end up just flying around ):

[jjoshaugh]

Well for one thing the forums on the egosoft boards are the best I have seen for any game, bar none. The community is really helpful. There is also a document called the X3 handbook which really does talk you through it.

You are right it is a complex game, but its all the more enjoyable for it.

[jjoshaugh]

Am.. well You could try building a complex that makes a and B IREs, 1mn Shields and drones, and put it in Antigone Memorial. There's Equipment docks nearby that buy them and that one in my game is constantly empty. A 5 shield complex in Siezewell makes decent money, esp if you pump out nosdrop oil as well as the Teladi are always hungry.

The best money makers in the game are spaceweed and spacefuel complexes. I don't use them personally but nothing stopping you doing so.

The thing is, the OWP's are assigned as M1-class ships, not stations or lasertower-like weapons. They move at...1 xD but they can do anything a ship can do: jump to sectors, turn around, naigate, etc. They can't dock though, you'll need to supply it with replacement stuff if anything gets damaged.

If you're interested, PM me or leave a comm on my userpage, and I'll tell you what you need to use the mods, and I'll send you the mods too :)

[DevilDog016]

You have XTM? If no, I have pulled out a couple of ships from XTM and made them as standalone add-ons for X3 (XTM needs you to start a new game to use it, the mods don't). I made a OTAS Reaper Assault Dropsip(5x125MJ Shields, 12 front lasers, 2 turret lasers, costs 27 mil but it's armageddon with wings :O ) Advanced Centaur Mk2 Vanguard, and...Orbital Weapons Platform. Yep, a huge thing with 48 turrets :O killed a Kha'ak destroyer in less than 30 secs.

You've made a pretty big mistake in the fight. Particle Accelerator Cannons are very good at draining shields, but they do little damage to the hull (makes them a good option for capping ships without damaging them too much). Impulse Ray Emitters are effective against hulls, but against shields, it's like shooting a watergun xD. I still fly my M3 Nova as my main ship, and I've found out that PAC + HEPT = pwn :) HEPT's chew on both shields and hull.

the boron capital ships sort of remind me of Covenant cruisers. Imagine how cool it would be if someone made add-on UNSC ships and Covenant ships to X3...

[DevilDog016]

that would be useful in ore belt... you're churning out crystals, and all the SPP's get desperate to get their claws on your crystals... I currently have 3 stations in Kingdom End and Cloudbase SW (I'm only 2 weeks in the game). What do you recommend I set up to get some more income? If you have time, please leave me a message on my userpage, tell me few complexes, with what each contains, how much it costs, what ships would be useful for it, where to set it up? Thanks in advance.
