As ARO fleetingly mentioned, you missed one of the best freebies in the game:

Spoiler

A Pirate Nova Raider is offered as one of the Pandora prizes. That and the Express Hauler are the only two ships offered via a Pandora message, as far as I know.

are there any specific sectors/stations you get those

Spoiler

pandora BBS

? or it's just random?

It's random. iirc, there are some specific areas the actual items can spawn, but the BBS messages can be anyplace.

In my last game I got bored of repeatedly getting messages for the same sector and just cheated to find the last couple

Pandora only forgot to put a 2-Mio.-Credits-Crate right beside the one of the best freebies in the game, to repair its almost destroyed hull.

All coordinates have been checked by myself, so they cannot be wrong. Really, they can't.

To easily reach a specific location in the sector order your ship to "Move to position" and use the numeric keypad to select the location. Use INS to flip the map; this way you can select the height.
Some of these goodies need the 2.0 update. Be sure to have it. It rocks.

** Doesn't seem to be there at the start of the game. I think I already had done the story line after I found it. ukdj78 lets me know that it was there after he won the race. (Perhaps one of the racers gave up and bailed ship? ^_^ )

It is there quite early - I just got it and I only have 1:00:17 on flying clock. I haven't done any plot, besides the very beginning shooting bit.
Vanilla 2.5 game.

Thanks a lot for the effort!!!

It is there from the start. But only since v2.

ok newbie question but I don't see any numeric values coming up on my screen when i fly around in x3-reunion. Is there a patch i need?

As for Avarice: are you saying the bid is 615 thousand or 615 million.

supakillaii · Post by **supakillaii** » Sun, 1. Feb 09, 08:23

It's 675 million Credits.

What numeric values are you talking about, exactly? If you mean coordinates, you only see those on the sector map, not on the screen while you're just flying around.

So i take it theres no point trying to get the sector unless you got like 700m credits in the bank?

Also for other nubs like me, don't bother trying to get the ship in Xenon 101, i went there in my Nova to get a fancy new ship.. and turned out the sector was full of Xenon caps and smaller ships.. and i died within a few seconds...

Deadbeat_Spinn · Post by **Deadbeat_Spinn** » Sun, 6. Dec 09, 18:00

Odds are you're going to need more than 700mil. The purchase of Avarice is on a bidding system that increases by 100mil each time you have to bid. Sometimes you get the sector on the first bid of 615mil, other times you're shelling out over 1bil. I found that having a stockpile of weapons from destroyed ships (esp. expensive weapons, i.e. GPPC's) can prove useful if you need a quick influx of credits to make the next bid.

Getting the abandoned ship in 101 isn't all that hard, use a fast ship that can carry M sized cargo and that has a JD and e-cells (a Disco works great for this). Locate ship, claim via spacesuit or SOS, transfer the JD/e-cells over, jump the new ship out, then fly to the gate to make your escape (you may have to sweep to the far left/right to draw the Xenon from being near the gate).

iirc there's another little secret regarding pandora...

Spoiler

Change your player name to "bonus.package.top.secret" then save.
Load that game.
You will get messages for the pandora locations.
Can change your name back now.
Doesn't cause modified, last tested on 2.5 with the bonus package installed (think that's what it was).

I think he's figured it out by now, after all he's had over two years since he posted that question.

Ships, ware crates and upgrade crates are different and in different (and randomized) places but they still exist.
