That's a 'known feature' according to Scorp, the bottom row of
sectors are cut-off at the lower edge of the landscape A4 page for XTM.
I tried printing to 'file' once but you get the same

You could stitch together four screen shots (Alt-PrtScrn) in Paintshop
(or something), or you could get Woffins 'official map' download at:

I own three Terran ships: a Valhala and 2 Tyr's. Now aren't Terran ships suppose to be able to use EMP's? When I go to the ship details menu, EMP's aren't an option to use. What the deal?

Think I possibly might of installed the XTM wrong?

EMP's can be installed only via the HUD.

Okay, I'm new to XTM, and loving every bit of it (except those stupid Pirate Nova's with 800MJ of shield, next to impossible to kill!). I recently got my hands on 28 units of Rock Beetle Shell, but cannot find anywhere to sell them. It says something in the description about selling on the black market, but how do I accomplish this?

If you have pirate novas with stupid shielding then you don't have the latest version. Visit the XTM page and update to 0.7.3

Hi all

I read on another forum that my game might be corrupt / not installed correctly If the asteroids in the 2nd unknown sector (where the free nova should be) appear in a line I couldnt find the mamba either , I gave up looking after those 2 not being there. Problem being is that I am in the middle of the boron angel mission and having a disco to attack those pirates just doesnt cut it. Any one give me the location of a free ship, so i can complete this mission

ps . I like the "special thing" in that sector if I could work out the spoiler tags I would tell ya, would make darth vaders hair stand on end

cheers

Andy

what other scripts have u installed ?

quodus · Post by **quodus** » Thu, 15. Nov 07, 12:20

None this is a 1st time install of X3 patched to the latest version. then downloaded xtn .71a and installed via your script plugin manager. I am running vista 64bit if that has any bearing

argon_emperor · Post by **argon_emperor** » Thu, 15. Nov 07, 12:49

I do have the latest version, 0.7.3. I only downloaded it a couple of days ago. So the bug must still be in there somewhere.

exogenesis · Post by **exogenesis** » Thu, 15. Nov 07, 14:16

Ships that were already flying when you installed the 0.73 patch
will still have the extra shields (afaik)

Senator Vrax · Post by **Senator Vrax** » Thu, 15. Nov 07, 19:07

0.73 patch has not fixed that problem.

I am also getting Nova's with xtra shielding, and that is from a clean install for 0.73.

It's not as frequent as before 0.73, but they are still in there.

pjknibbs · Post by **pjknibbs** » Thu, 15. Nov 07, 19:55

Did you start a new game when you installed 0.7.3? If your game was started in 0.7a then you'd get those bugged Novas, and the patch doesn't remove them or anything like that...it just stops new ones spawning.

It was a completely fresh install and a new game, so it is definetly 0.73 with bugged Nova's.

Typeing what you wont to say in spoiler then highlight it with mouse button then click on spoiler at top right when Editing then done.

Spoiler

As for ship read this link and some where in the Spoiler your see loc for ship's. http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=1407216

sounds like XTM gameplay question to me...

If it's your first time playing X3 though, you'd probably have done better without the mod installed.

homeless · Post by **homeless** » Mon, 19. Nov 07, 14:30

I've just DL'ed this after a long break from X3.

Holy.

Freaking.

Cow!

You know that kid in a sweet shop feeling? If this plays as good as it looks then this could be the best put together mod ever.

Well done mod team. It takes a lot to leave me speachless these days.

Holy freaking cow! I'll probably spend the rest of tonight just looking at the details (love the recoil effect on the Mamba Mk1 guns BTW).

Where the heck to start...

quodus · Post by **quodus** » Mon, 19. Nov 07, 16:01

hidden Mamba raider in - LM pirate sector - I have given up.

IMA it either gets blow up by a convoy of pirates that are coming to get u or you get got by the pirates .

I even tried a daring 15k space suit walk an flew straght into a Sqmine

Boron angel - yep nice 1 slap it right in the middle of danna Chance, in my game u can hardley breathe in that sector let alone follow a ship that goes 200kps. when it eventually jumps to Napol Mem. Its the same thing, system is heaving with pirates. I am talking some serious piratage

Is this as difficult in everyones game? . The mamba is easy to get in the Vanilla game.

Am I missing something here ?

Apollo911 · Post by **Apollo911** » Mon, 19. Nov 07, 16:27

Which mod are you talking about?

quodus · Post by **quodus** » Mon, 19. Nov 07, 16:40

Sorry I did post this in the XTN gamplay section but obviously not , sorry I seem to be the only one that has this problem. I shall delete and resubmit

quodus · Post by **quodus** » Mon, 19. Nov 07, 16:43

Anyone else find the pirates sectors really difficult ?
