would you have to wait until you beat the storyline game before you can do the Bala Gi's missions?
No.

I may have found a not so good problem with the newer ship models.

I reverse engineered the Eclipse and finally made a few...i cant equip any shields at all but it says max shield is 1X125mj I am running a vanilla game as far as mods no extra ships but i do have anarks fleet commands script...but i dont see how that would effect a production bug.

I have tried going through gates re loading the game and it dosent fix it, right now i am reverse engineering the Hypernia? Hypernion? whatever the dukes yatche i hope i dont have any issues with that one, i an just using the shieldless eclipses as carrier supplies with my elephant they do supply runs and horde the resource on the elephant then i jump back to hq and dump it off, works well they can hold 350 units.

you dont go anywhere to get the mission you have to have acertain amount of things done, check the FAQ it explains it all. They send you a message with a meeting place when you meet all the requirements.

OK I know what I need now... thing is I need money to get it... any tips for someone with about 500,000?


I've been using some of the ships I found to take passengers on the tour of a lifetime to get about 25,000 at a time... thats the only good one I can think of so far...

the fastest way is cap small fighters and sell them until you get atleast 5 mill that might be enough to setup a space weed factory that can get you some good cash if you set it up in the right location, also space fuel is good money but not as good as space weed.

Kudos Egosoft, I don't think too many other developers would provide such a cool set of additions for free :)

Ok for a proper first starting factory you need...

Bliss Place M 1.58mill(Seizwell)
Dream Farm L 818k(Seizwell)
Complex construction kit 300k (Seizwell)

Read spoiler for best location.

The best place for any factories is the unknown sector in between Montalaar&New Income you have Argon Boron and Teladi within 3 jumps making you a prime dealer in the universe.

Hello.

As i can see, one of the "Bala Gi Missions" requirements is to own a station and several millions of credits. As i understand, only extra large transports (like Mammoth) can buy and carry stations, and these transport ships cost around 30 million. Am i missing something or it is really not possible to build your first station until you earn enough to buy TL-class ship?

Thanks in advance.

YOu can hire a TL aswell. just find one roaming the universe, comm it, contact captain, ask it to transport smthng., then ask it to move to shipyard, wait till it docks, dock yourself, buy station, load it in the TL, comm it again, ask captain to follow you, move to where you want your station, wait till TL comes, comm it again, ask capt. to drop freight, a sector map appears, select the position of your station with nupad keys 1 thru 9 except 5, press enter. done.

Er, because 5 is the middle key on the NumPad and doesn't do anything.

Hi,

I believe that NumPad 5 centres the station to the nearest object - but it has been a while since I checked...

Question about towing a particular vehicle...

How are you supposed to get the yacht back to the shipyard?
If I tractor beamed it, it gets stuck on the other side of the gate and doesn't come through.

I forgot I had the ship claim software installed, and was able to simply force it to dock itself, but I still want to know how you would make it follow you through a gate if you tractor beamed it.

AFAIK you use the tractor beam and yes, it takes a lot of time for the yacht to arrive on the other side of the gate so be patient and use seta :D

Ok another question about a request Bala made....
Spoiler
Show
They wanted a trading station. They were not specific of where they wanted it, and so I assumed they wanted it in Kingdom End.

Is this where it is supposed to go?
I placed it there and I didn't receive any type of message from them.
