Hello All.

My X3 Plot guide and the Trading networks guide linked on page 1 have been updated for the 2.01 patch.

Please be warned that the Plot Guide contains some major spoilers for the Balagi mission and should only be read if you get stuck or have a problem. There are some useful tips on the Balagi Mission included too. The trading networks guide is purely Tips and Advice on how to use the HQ and how it fits in with existing player owned trading stations and Equipement docks.

Dead link Boronshark's X3 Ship Stats

Also I suggest that the links are marked updated for 2.0 (if they are) against them.

giskard · Post by **giskard** » Thu, 16. Nov 06, 11:51

All my guides are 2.0, some did not need changing.

With certain bugs now fixed, some info that got removed from my guides will be added back in.

Dave Toome made some nice collection (exel-sheet) of the ressources needed for the ship creation at the HQ.

the 'current' link is http://forum3.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php ... 86#1908686 but they are probably going to move it to make a 'thanks to contributors' page.

Greetings:

Finally i find time to update my files to version 2.0.02 (only the XLS versions not the pdf)

The links are the same as before.

The guides page is going to have a facelift. It will include both X2 and X3 guides. So if anyone has anything that you think is appropriate for a new sticky please post the link here. Dead links will be removed so please ensure your own links are up to date. Thanks.

I've made a couple of updates w.r.t. to the 2.0.x update/patch, the guide can be found here:

http://circleofatlantis.com/X3forum/viewtopic.php?t=67

1. Amended details w.r.t. to Hammerhead

2. Added links to the excellent stats pages at Rogueys and the X3 Wiki

3. Added minor details

I'm still missing info on Tornado / Typhoon and Firestorm as I'm not big on M6s though now I have an M7 that may change. But in the meantime if anyone can fill in any gaps I will be happy to give full credit.

Construction of the updated links post is underway. Note that links will only be included if they are for the most recent version of the game. So for X3 this is v2. If you currently have a guide linked please ensure it is up to date so when it is reviewed it is for the latest version.

Thanks.

Graph.

I keep mine updated as needed, so i may add more info to some of them a few months from now without warning. When i do update a guide i change the version number in the guide. But some guides dont need updating because the content of the game they cover has not changed.

Generally...

Any economy guide will remain ok.

The Plot changed a lot and so these do need updating to at least 1.3.

Combat has had minor tweaks, not really an update issue unless the guide contains ship or weapon stats etc. Concussion weapon added etc, so stat related guides need to be 2.0 or 2.2.

Hope this helps.

There is a new (- and prettier!) version of my printable Excel keyboard guide at:
http://www.savefile.com/projects/1050426

- the original, more printer friendly version (ie. easier on the ink!) is still here:
http://www.savefile.com/projects/1013108

- with over 100 keys at your command - this is really useful!!
- both files are very small downloads – they only take about 5 seconds..!!
- as always, feel free to change them to suit your needs..
- they will print instantly from the files as they stand..

- good hunting!

Post by **Graphil** » Sat, 2. Dec 06, 20:17

I have a suggestion. Put the printer friendly version on the second sheet rather than having 2 separate downloads.

NOOOOOooooooo, please don't unsticky this!!! There's already not enough people reading it, and the game has been rereleased at retail!!

Alienmoe · Post by **Alienmoe** » Sat, 2. Dec 06, 21:04

Typical, I take this thread off my bookmarks where it has sat since i got Firefox, and now *Poof* no sticky.

I can see this being lost 20 pages back in a few weeks

C'mon mods! Resticky. Already there are so many posts that are answered in one of these guides!

foxy42 · Post by **foxy42** » Sat, 2. Dec 06, 21:30

Ahhhhhh, a new sticky thread has been put up in it's place, I do apologise. Please ignore my inane ramblings...

How ironic that I should demand that this guide thread be re-stickied, on the grounds that nobody looks at it, but I didn't notice myself that a new guides thread had been put up. Do I feel silly? Yup....
