The Hole is a great place to find good ones right away in any case you won't have to leave Argon spaceĬOMPLETELY max out the speed on the Mercury as soon as you have the $. Start doing trade runs, especially for Energy/Argnu Beef. Also: buy the trade extension software - you'll definitely need it Making sure you have the maximum allowable 3 x 1 MW shield is a good ideaįollow the main plot until you get the Mercuryīuy whatever speed you can for the Mercury at that point, and don't forget to buy the shield for it in case you bump something (repairing a ship is expensive). Max out the discoverer (especially speed) as quickly as you can. If you use a game pad it's button 10, or J on the keyboard To get started I would (hope I don't leave anything out I'm still on my first game so I've only done the beginning once): On a secondary note, if you find yourself ready to leave your computer running all night while your ships trade, just cheat yourself some money rather then adding the monthly fee of a MMO to this single player MMO in electrical bills.īut it only takes a couple of solid trade runs to max it out (once you have the Mercury). edit- For the two options above, you can set them to automatically do such tasks while you go off and do whatever you want -edit-Ĭ- Buy a cargo ship and buy low/sell high yourself.īut most importantly, Read The Egosoft Forums for tips. Once high enough you can equip it to warp/jump/whatever over huge distances and rake in cash. The ship will "level" and be able to travel further for better deals. You buy software for the ship that lets it trade (buy low, sell high). edit- I recall from X3 taking down the shields really fast increases the chance of them bailing, but not confirmed -edit-Ī- Buy some cargo ships and mine asteroids (see the egosoft forums for detailed information such as where, what ship and what equipment/software).ī- Buy some cargo ships and use them for trading items. The chance of the pilot bailing is kinda random.
You can also salvage weapons or get a new ship for yourself. The less damaged the ship the more it sells for. You then wade through the ingame menu.įor making money, quick/easy/fun way is to capture ships (mainly fighters and cargo ships).The pilots will randomly bail if you slowly wear them down, so don't use hard hitting weapons for this. I hope you bought a hard copy of it, because if you bought it on Steam you have 4 installs left.Īnd yes, only game that comes to mind with a steeper learning curve is EvE Online.įor controls, load a game (tutorial or ingame as long as you don't save afterward) and scroll through the Options/Controls and test every feature you come across, making note of hard to remember ones.
