It can be found laying in crates in one of the new sectors or found after killing pirates. It's worth finding and fun, but not vital

[donb-baker]

have updated to 2.0.02 but no bala ji mission, no-cd works, have good relations with argon,boron and paranid, much credits and stations, what can I check to see if game is ok, started original plot game but never did the 1st mission, just want to start bala ji mission.

[jlehtone]

Must thank Ego. Spotted the change on TPs. Much more useful now than before.

And the hold on K. I was content with the 5,000 unit hold, but it is hard to complain about the increase. I hope it does improve the NPC K's too.



Edit: The Advanced Satellite view now superimposes on to the sector map, like in X2. Now I almost miss the offset way.

[Talon1571]

I've said it before - the one thing the X series lacked was a player shipyard. Now we have one!

Thanks Ego!

Only thing it is missing now is the ability to produce factories...

patch 3.0?

[sisco65]

[Nanook]

where do you get them at

Have you even read the first post in the thread you are replying to?

[kmiller1610]

Not wanting to give anything away, but have they modified Xenon behavior much? I just took over 101 and 347 and did not see one example of Xenon battle groups warping in replacements.

I would expect that in 101, but it surprised me that it did not happen in 347. Now, I did attack it during an invasion mission. Perhaps that's a reason?

It's been over a year since I last played X3, some time after the 1.3 patch. Really nice to see Egosoft releasing a patch that includes new content, and I'm really enjoying playing it again, but..

I'm still getting occasional crashes, but more problematic are the game crippling interface bugs. At first I thought 2.0.02 was alot better than 2.0.01 but now I'm still getting the same issues such as:

The menu buttons across the bottom of the screen display but they're blank, no text and icons.
The selected menu button at the bottom doesn't have it's background image displayed, only the text and icon.
The border around the top-left monitor window doesnt show.
Most of the keyboard keys no longer produce the function they should, like opening the local/universe maps.
The local map had no ship/station icons or text, only the window background.

I installed it from scratch: Install -> 1.4.03 -> 2.0.01 -> Bonus package 3.1.04 -> Cockpit mod 1.03 -> 2.0.02
Sometimes I've been able to play for hours before it happens, and it seems to happen when I enter a new sector.
My savegames seem fine and after quitting and reloading it works fine again. Parts of the interface going missing and malfunctioning can make it impossible to even dock to save before quitting though.

Again, I am really enjoying playing it again while it stays stable, but the issues I have with it can be really frustrating. I wish to cooperate providing any further information I can that will help any hope of resolution.

It sounds like you have a corrupt installation. Try reinstalling from scratch then applying just the 1.0->2.0.02 update. If that works with a new name, then try the Bonus Pack and the Cockpit Mod also with a new game. Finally, if that all works OK then try loading your savegames.

OMG....
We should create a brand new language utterly dedicated in "thanks" synonims for expressing our gratitude towards egosoft...

I have a problem with Bala Gi missions. After saveing transporter ship the guy told me that I should go to Unknown sector next to Mealstrom (or whatever) and than to the south to another one. But when I go there I can not find any ship. There is just one pirate base and few asteroids, but nothing else...
Can you tell me what is wrong? Please help.

[CBJ]

Do you have any mods installed? If so then the ship may be invisible and you need to remove the mods to see it.

hi, iam having a bit of trouble with 2.0.02, so far ive had no XI missions and very very few assassination missions to date. ive played x3 for over a year and never struggled like this, normally at this point (~3 days game time) i would have done a dozen or so XI missions and hundreds of assassination missions.

so far

0 xi missions

about 10 other 'killy' missions (lots of m5 transport/ stock transport ones though, but there no fun.)

iam running no mods.

[Cycrow]

the appearence of BBS entries are random, sounds like your just having a dry spell.

however, if there was a mission on the BBS that you missed, u'll have to wait for that to time out before you get the next one
