#GETTING STARTED IN X3 ALBION PRELUDE MODS#Since this is your first time playing the game, I would strongly advise playing it without any mods installed - jumping straight into a total conversion (or any mod, for that matter) before even trying out the base experience makes no sense to me (it strikes me rather like adding a ton of salt or sugar to something before the first taste - only to discover that none was needed, or perhaps it needed mustard or a dash of lemon instead.) More to the point: the campaign and the generic missions were built with the vanilla game in mind, and the difficulty levels are balanced accordingly. If that is not quick enough earning then i would suggest going for X3 TC or AP instead - the missions there pay prices after you've done a couple and you will have millions fairly quickly (for X beginners good, for veterans its way too easy imo). Pick up the illegal ware yourself and smuggle it to the next best buyer. Either they do or they go violent - which allows you to "pirate" them without penalty. #GETTING STARTED IN X3 ALBION PRELUDE LICENSE#If you have a police license in argon territory (for example), wait at the space fuel distillery or any other place that sells illegal wares, until someone buys the wares. ![]() Pick up the wares with a tranporter and sell em. Shoot the ship some more for the possibility to scare the pilot enough to jump out (doesnt work on everyone - pilots have morale and if its too high they dont jump out). Shoot their shields down until you make some chinks in their hull and tell them to drop their freight (if necessary multiple times until everything is dropped). ![]() Get a freight scanner (pirate bases happily sell them to you, if you haven't made them your enemy yet), scan transport ships in independant/unknown/pirate sectors for wares. Particularly in TC and AP where there is more weapons/hightech trade routes in pirate sectors. Also, X3R still has the Alpha PSG on fighters which can be extremely dangerous when approaching enemies from the front.ĭoing Piracy yourself is universally lucrative in all X3 games if you dont mind making some enemies (chose a race to pick on, two if you feel spicy). Will i just have to grab a second Sector trader Mercury and wait for the money to buy a Nova or is there some middle ground ship that i have missed in my google searches?Ī properly upgraded and well-armed X3:R Buster is well able to capture an isolated M3 if you get the tactics rightĮverything with a rear turret will be extremely dangerous and likely result in death for novice pilots. I would rather not spend days building a large economy as it seems to take a lot of time and i would imagine wont carry over into TC and AP. ![]() The logical choice seems to be the Argon Nova Raider as its *good enough*, close by and actually possible for me to get, but it costs 1.6 million for the ship alone which is currently a bit more then my budget of 200k. #GETTING STARTED IN X3 ALBION PRELUDE UPGRADE#What ship should i look at as a first upgrade for my Buster? Googling it seems to bring up ships limited to TC+ and the Xenon LX which i haven't got a hope in hell of getting in my buster. They cant catch me but i haven't got a hope in hell of beating them and my buster now has a repair bill of about 200,000 credits, at least 4x as much as what the mission paid. I beat the frigate but the Barracudas melt me instantly, which means trying to do anything in Argon Prime is now near impossible. I took a mission to assassinate a pirate who was going through Argon Prime which seemed easy enough but when i got there it was a frigate of some kind being escorted by 4 Barracudas. ![]() To that end while my Mercury is slowly accruing money i tried taking on some missions from stations which was a bad idea. I attempted the third mission, the one to go to the pirate base in Farnhams Legend but my little buster cant even survive long enough to reach it, so i am looking to get a new ship. I took the quickstart option as its my first time with the X series, my mercury is currently running as a level 6 sector trader based in Ore belt. #GETTING STARTED IN X3 ALBION PRELUDE MOD#Have finally gotten around to trying out the x3 games, am starting in reunion for the story with the Xtended mod and am struggling to get started. ![]()
