It doesn't need that much protection - unless you place it in a sector where you get a Xenon invasion mission. Mine's been up for weeks, and haven't been attacked yet.

I placed mine in Family Tkr. Why? There's an EQ dock there, and Tkr's Deprivation with lots of resources next door.

I want to place mine in the best possible spot to avoid regreting it later

Its wonderful to see additional content being released for such an awsome, ridiculously in-depth game that surpasses simulation and boarders Space Empire Warlord Training game. And! With my new computer, I can finally play with settings better than bare minimum! Pretty space ships here I come,

I depends on how you'll use it - I put mine in Preisdent's end - close to a few EQ docks, but moe importantly to me, close to the Goner temple for easy equiping of Jumpdrives and Transporter devices. There are several other good sectors though....

I played the first parts of the missions inmediately after I obtained the mission. But now I encounter a very unexpected problem: I need to continue in a sector that just has been invaded by the Khaak...

Spoiler

Show

I need to go to the powerplant in Grand Exchange where I am told to protect an incomming ship. But... The Powerplant is under attack by a Khaak squardron, and the Khaak Carrier keeps blocking the way. I managed to get into the station and got the order to protect the ship. I jumped back to the westgate, but I can't protect it against all those Khaak...

So I reloaded the previous game and spent all my money to buy 5 Nova Raiders and got back. This time I could do the mission but all the Nova's got lost. When I continued the next sector was full of hostile Pirates and I had to retreat... I know how the mission continues and I can't imagine its possible to pull a ship back through all those hostile sectors... If I even can get there at all

Should I reload and take **much** time to get stronger? Will the object of my mission still be there or would it be destroyed? Can I continue and is there a way to make it (back) through all hostellities? Will the 'reward' still be there if I take my time to get stronger?

I just have to say this game is just incrediable after this patch.

Combined with the great community x3 is now a perfet 10 and really

should be re-evaulated by the mags and sites that gave it a less than

shineing review in its early release. Egosoft has stood behind it's product

like very few game companies in history and deserves a huge Thank You,

and job well done. X3 has matured into a best of all time title imo.

So thank you Egosoft and take a bow, because you earned it....

I am 71 years old & my flying skills are not good enough to
use the "Veriticle Approach method".
Are there any other ways to do this mission?

It seems many players find this hard. Maybe I was just lucky or maybe its a bug but I found an alternative way to complete this part of the mission:

When I wanted to lure enemyships away I flew off the map (to bottom left) and dropped a normal satellite hoping the Xenon ships would go after it so I could place the advanced sattelite... But on the moment I unloaded the normal satellite I got the message that thanked me for my help and this part of the mission was completed! I never needed to place the advanced satellite in the middle

I bought the 2.0 version from a store and i would like to update to 2.0.0.2 which is supposed to be just 9.98 KB, but it seems I must download the entire 31 meg file just for that little fix. Am I missing something here?

Thank you

Great Game.

Where did you get the idea that it was 9.98KB? And which patch are you downloading, as there are several?

You will need the X³: Reunion Update 1.4.03/2.0 -> 2.0.02 which is 35.9 MB.

To answer your query,

I clicked the "play x3 reunion" icon on my desktop, it opened that small window and I clicked check for update and it took me to

http://www.egosoft.com/download/x3/patc ... .0&lang=US

and it gives one update and clickin on that gives me

http://www.egosoft.com/download/x3/patc ... wnload=223

{link corrected to the page it should have been rather than the page it actually was to avoid anyone else getting the wrong download! - CBJ}

which says X³: Reunion Update 1.4.03 -> 2.0.01
9.98 KB

Post by **CBJ** » Wed, 28. Mar 07, 10:28

Nice catch. I'll chase the relevant person to make sure that page is corrected. I suspect that the 9.98KB is actually the size for the BitTorrent header rather than the full download. More worrying is why it took you to the page to update to 2.0.01 rather than the one for 2.0.02 though.

Edit: The update link has now been corrected to point to the 1.4.03/2.0->2.0.02 update, which also shows the correct size for that download.

All I did was buy an Octupus, threw some nitrus in it and remotely flew it into the center. Satellite released when it got there and then got the crap blew out of it, but I was only out less than 100k.

Erm, you seem to be a little confused. First of all this is a thread about an update to X3, not a new game. And second X3 is a single-player game, not an multi-player online game so there is no "game client" as such. You can buy it in the usual places: shops or online stores.

OK, after reading 35 pages of this forum and skimming the rest I have found no reference to this particular problem. In the third stage(I think) of the Bala Gi missions ...

Spoiler

Show

Go to Great Trench and speak to the Boron at the Royal Boron Research Station, only that sector is one that the Ka'ak have moved into early in my game, and the only station there is a factory of some sort that is under attack. I remember running into that station before the invasion (not literally), and returning to find it destroyed later on

Any suggestions?

Nevermind . . . . . reloaded, returned and there it was . . under attack by a Ka'ak Destroyer, but there nonetheless.
