There's three X3's. Don't play 1 it's shit. 2 is a huge upgrade from 1, but still just a downgraded 3, although it does have some neat stuff; I like the ship designs, the Khaak, the atmosphere, and the cockpits, but it's not as good as 3 in mechanics. X3 has X3: Reunion -> X3: Terran Conflict -> X3: Albion Prelude. Each game is a direct upgrade, so you only need AP. Do not touch Rebirth.

- Liman Legacy, Aegis Orbis Station, HIP 16753 System

I'm like 68% sure you could do that in Reunion, and about 92% sure you could do that in TC.

There is usually some quick way to make cash thanks to how ungodly big the BGS is. Here is one current method I've found but I haven't tried it out for myself.
Go to GD 1192 with 4 cargo slots and as much economy passenger space as you can get. Stack passenger missions to this one planet called like LS 9360 or something, you'll know it's the one because it's to a station 1.8 million light seconds away from jump and you'll make 800k per seat. Don't accept the missions with a crown because they'll take up extra seats. Fill up, then turn them all in. Enjoy your Anaconda.

They did. They exterminated the space hippies. The space hippies' successors, the Aeon Illuminate, were what gave them a problem because the Aeon Illuminate were their match in military doctrine (ie, the use of ACUs and on-site army construction) and possessed better war machines in general (anyone familiar with SupCom will know that Aeon were the high-cost, high-stats, specialized faction with their units generally being the best in their given niche).

I looked into the vanilla stock market after the anon earlier mentioned it. It's crazy broken if you do nividium since there's only a few stations that will buy it, and they will only buy <10 units of it, and nothing AFAIK produces it. This makes it extremely easy to gather up more than any station will buy so that the supply is way higher, bringing prices down so you can buy nividium stocks cheap, then just eject it from your cargo bay, bringing supply to 0, sell your stocks, pick up the nividium, and repeat.

Aeon had best units of every class, generally speaking. High health, high damage, well specialized. They also had by a good margin the best navy due to being able to take hovering T2 shield generators (meant for land combat) out over the water. Proper unit choice was critical.
UEF had robust, tough units. Not as specialized as Aeon, not as high quality either. Good at sieges, both attacking and defending.
Seraphim were a generalist faction, with units often meant to do multiple things, for example no T2 tank, but their T2 bots were a lot tougher than the other's factions and were basically halfway in between tank and bot. Seraphim were the simple, easy to play faction because there wasn't much specialization or unit choice.
Cybran were the stealth faction. Fragile units, but really good at setting up hidden forward bases and slipping forces around. Good for assassination victories. Had the interesting distinction of having the best ASFs, though Seraphim and Aeon were generally the choice for backline airforce player on Seton's due to their double RAS on their ACU.

You know hardly any of your statements are actually true or they've already been explained in the lore though, right?
>Technologically backwards cause of being cut off from the rest of the galaxy for 40+ odd years
The solar system has greater industrial capacity than the entire rest of the GTVA. The rest of the galaxy was cut off from them. Don't forget the UEF invented beam jamming first and their fighters/bombers are laughably superior. They just lack beams.
>Be completely deluded into thinking the Shivians are gone and that their hippy focused government will ensure the survivial of mankind
Uh, the jump node got blown up. The Shivans were gone. And in the total economic collapse post-capella the hippy government literally did ensure the survival of mankind (in Sol). The Ubuntu system only presented an issue when Sol and the rest of space were reunited.
>Only advantage their warships have is that they outrange GTA counterparts
>Better fighters and bombers
>Better stealth tech
>Better EWAR
>Despite this insist at every opportunity to close range where GTA can use their devastating Beam Cannons.
You're thinking about this in the most simplistic possible way. It's kind of hard to avoid being in range when GTVA ships completely control the terms of the engagement with better jump capabilities. UEF ships don't have the luxury of jumping in at the perfect range to snipe from a safe distance, they are usually the ones being jumped onto. And when the UEF is already in beam range it is better for them to close the distance, so their point defense screen can support their fighters and bombers in the attack on the GTVA ships. And what's more, ships like the Karuna can only project probably 30% of their firepower out past 4km, meaning if they want to finish the fight before the GTVA ships jump out they have no choice but to close to beam range.
Examples of when they use their range advantage: Her Finest Hour against the Carthage, Aristeia against Serkr Team, Post Meridian against the Meridian's battlegroup.
>Decide that trapping a warship that's even older than their backward designs will be a great victory and somehow be a massive blow to GTA
The Carthage is a technology demonstrator. It's literally the most high tech ship the GTVA has in Sol at the time. It has a sprint drive, state of the art active armor, and is testing the newest fighters. Destroying it would be a massive blow both tactical and strategic since the GTVA barely able to maintain enough morale at home to support the war as it is.
>Don't get the hint that being allowed such an easy victory could be a blatant trap
There was no such hint. It was an incredibly hard-fought "victory" that takes like 3 entire missions to conclude.
>Completely ignore the fact that GTA ships have the upper hand in the close range brawl and that they decide to jump out instead of stand their ground isn't suspicious at all
The tevs were at a huge disadvantage every single time they jumped, moron. Even at Saturn, when the Carthage had support from four Deimos corvettes and several smaller ships, they were still getting their asses kicked before the Impereiuse showed up.
The UEF is retarded but for none of the reasons you listed. It's because the elders are diverting war resources that could have beaten the GTVA already into a secret project to melt humanity in to a collective consciousness or some crazy hippy bullshit like that.

Most people did not play Seraphim on Seton's as navy, unless you're talking one of the shitty FAF unbalance patches, which isn't relevant. Most people played Cybran or UEF navy. UEF actually had a pretty good navy. But Aeon was the best. However, you actually had to put in the effort to add T2 shield gens to your fleet to turn it into a proper waterborne rape machine, which most players found to be too much effort.

Nah it's currently worse then usually cause some fucktard at frontier thought that instead of making an update with it's usual lack of content they'd make an update with a lack of content and smear it out over several months so it feels like nothing is happening 99.9% of the time.
Damaged and repairing stations have a marker now in the galmap so it should become a more common event but nah Fdev will drag that shit out and a station that should be evacuated as quickly as possible will take over a week before someone there finally updates their state. That or the number of refugee missions required is a stupid amount but we still don't get any progress information on the bgs so we'll never know if it's actually a bgs action or someone at Fdev changing their state.
Such is the joys that is the quantum box for E:D's development. And I'm lost to it

Currently pretty broken by the 24 hour release cycle.

The thread was saying Empyrion is trash a few months ago. There was another that seemed promising, but I can't remember what it was called.

It's a pretty okay game, but there isn't much in forms of content currently.

Its just boring, there was never any "game" to begin with, it was merely appealing to the "builder block" autism genre. If it had some kind of missions, populated planets, actual npcs other than scripted bot ships / stations. It might have been a good game. Building takes forever on survival, which appeals to another boring genre, since your only real threat are "meteor showers" Mods make the game a little better, but the planet stuff is so ham-fisted its insulting.
That said, there is a lot of neat stuff you can do, but none of it really feels fun. The stubbornness behind not having Lasers, Masers, Teleporters, or any fun sci-fi stuff has only made it worse.

Problem is they're sort of fake.
Behind the scenes planets, moons, and orbit are each separate maps hosted on individual server processes on the game host.
The maps themselves are square,The east-west boundary teleports while the north/south boundary (what should be the poles) are inaccessible.
That being said the game does calculate reenty position correctly between the playfield change. The game also dynamically renders a day/night cycle based on player position on map vs star position vs planet rotation. As such flying east causes the sun to rise etc.
The devs claim that spherical planets soon™ We'll see how that works.

Empyrion fixes this somewhat by providing loot in NPC bases. Since you're working against the tech tree and exotic materials shortages looting/salvaging these components becomes desirable.

Now instead of 5fps I get 10fps, thanks Chris.
Though 10fps was enough to visit a couple moons. Oddly enough I always arrived right when a bunch of others arrived, I guess it's the instancing system. It was interesting trying to not crash into them or the LZ at that choppy framerate. As long as I stood still, the views were great, too.

For those of you playing Empyrion - how the hell do you build a new base?
A chrashed shuttle near my crash site was my base, but I gathered metric craptons of materials and built components/blocks for a new base and went about deconstructing the old one.
Now I cannot place a new core block anywhere.
9952e7 No.14064038
>>14064010
you need to build a "starter block" in the constructor, for a base I think it just consists of the core itself
then you have to place it down touching the ground
the core block itself is for taking over existing buildings

Oh man so the Tank-eating superhounds were originally nuclear armed kamikaze dogs of hell.
The story goes that leen decided that the key to Minecraft's success was creepers and they needed to implement something similar. So they decided that these new enemies would spawn every six minutes or so, in packs of four to six and be armed with the equivalent of several hundred pounds of high explosive. They then pushed this addition out globally to all servers with no way to disable them - Overnight entire metropolises of autism were reduced to crater filled wastelands. What was once elaborate feats of architecture gave way to simple bunkers and emplacements to defend against the onslaught of explosions.

PSA for anyone playing Elite. After a recent CG the Federal Dropship, Assault Ship and Gunship have all had their Federation rank requirements dropped and a universal discount of 17% applied to them. This also stacks with Li-rong's univeral 15% leaving us with a discount of 32% which will also affect the base re-buy cost of your vessel.
So if you already have any of these 3 ships make sure to strip any engineered modules and rebuy the base ship at discount to get a permanent lower rebuy. If you're feeling lazy you can buy all 3 of these ships with the max discount at these stations.

Holy shit this mod is confusing. Good but confusing.

>>14075767
Theres 3 major total conversions for X3:AP
XRM
Litcubes Universe
Mayhem
Mayhem is a pure combat focused campaign mode. XRM is the MOST mod for X3 , Litcubes is the overall best mod for X3 as it is essentially X3.5.
The community is mostly split between XRM and Litcubes because while XRM is basically a soljanka that doesnt change the base game much, Litcubes is a complete overhaul of everything. Litcubes features every QOL feature ever and slows down combat significantly, forcing you to use fleet formations instead of simply engaging M2s and winning while in a Hyperion without backup.

XRM is vanilla+, meaning that it adds a whole bunch of stuff but you are still playing the same basic storyline and universe and it is also compatible with many other small mods and scripts.
The biggest mod by far is X-Tended which is a whole new game using the X3 engine in the vein of nehrim/enderal for oblivion/skyrim but still keeps the lore of the x-universe and the same gameplay elements. It is largely incompatible with most mods but you can check here for compatible scripts: https://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=331351
>>14075965
X-tended has an AP version. The only two issues is that a variable needs to be changed in the globals.txt file to make use of the improved OOS combat and the turrets on some capital ships don't work by default due to scripting changes, but that can be fixed by using any of the big turret scripts that everyone uses.

Dammit. Can't find some rare ores on this planet.
I'm surprised how less grindy his game is than similar games. And at the same time…not.
You mine fast and a single large deposit can be cleaned in a few minutes, giving you buttloads of materials. At the same time, you need to watch your O2, food and you have a lot of different metals/ores. A hospitable planet is generally rich in basic resources, but lacks in rare ones. Couldn't even find them in the mining guild or the space station in orbit.

Sequel is a lot better and doesn't have gamebreaking bugs like how you can be stuck into diplomacy that you don't agree to. However sequel does have ridiculously broken pirates to the point nobody can advance outside their starting systems and this include even the hardest AI's which the devs are incredibly stubborn about.
