[Discussion/FAQ] What are the recommended scripts&mods? Ask here.

[Topchris]

This is what I use:

Mercantilism

• EJon/MarCon Trading Plugin
  This helps to stimulate the Economy, especially useful if you set your races at all out war with eachother.
  
  Logain's Global Production Report
  Summarizes and reports your Industrial/Financial status.
  

Galactic Warfare

• LV's Race Response Fleets
  Each race will defend itself with a network of defense ships. Optionally, invasions and sector takeover can be enabled, among other unique features.
  Definitely a must have.
  
  ThisIsHarsh's Military Base Response Revamp
  Similar to RRF, this allows each race to defend itself using it's Military Bases. This can be enabled for the Xenon as well. Optionally, invasions and sector takeover can be enabled, among other unique features.
  
  It is rumored that the above two scripts conflict with eachother, however I have run a test over several hours and had no CTDs or strange occurances, save for an odd message or log entry now and again.
  
  

More to be added.

hm same here, which mods to install? and how to install?

is Improved Race better than Race Response Fleet?

I saw a thread about XSP ships, what are they and how to install them?

how can I know which mod conflicted with which?

please help us!

I am looking for a mod or something that will balance things out.

OSS combat is differnt than being IS and watch your ships lay waste to the opposition.

When your OSS then some Argon buster comes along and blows your destroyer or OWP out of the sky.

This is very annoying.

Has anybody come up with a mod that gives your ships the same firepower that is like if your IS when your halfway across the map?


Has anybody tried to come up with a solution whn a improvement(Ship upgrade) that links your personal ship with your other ships??
Basicly making it looks like your in system with your Guarding ship when your halfway around the map?

Is there any currently working script which allows you to colorize ship/station names?

This should do what your asking; and much more

Somehow I missed that this one is also capable of coloring Oo
Whatever, thanks

[ptb_ptb]

This is what I'm thinking of trying ...

Wish me luck!

1. [2011-12-18][TC/AP]X3TC Cheat Package by Cycrow
A must have, IMO. The cheat I can't live without is overtuning my spacecraft's engines. Also very useful when testing other scripts/mods

2. [2012-09-01][AP][Mod]minimax better performance & playability while keeping atmosphere by Schabernack
Along with 'rock removal' should make the game a lot smoother to play.

3. [2010-07-26][TC/AP]Terran Revitalization Project by eldyranx3 ; Adds missing Terran Stations, Marines, Main Operating Base, Ease of Terran Travel, and a new ATF Plot.
I like playing Terran, so this is a must

4. [2012-06-21][TC/AP]Terran Police Licence by X2-Illuminatus; Adds a Terran police licence to the game
When playing a Terran start I think this is needed on principle

5. [2011-04-30][TC/AP]Bounce by Litcube ; Player AI Autopilot Fix
Another must have script. In Sector (IS) allies die like flies without this.

6. [2009-12-10][TC/AP]Extended Communication System by Serial Kicked ; News/BBS and Comm Dialogs
Required for a couple of other scripts.

7. [2009-10-04][TC/AP]Galactic News System by the XTC Team; New BBS-system
Required for a number of other scripts

8. [2009-07-30][TC/AP]Military Base Response revamp by ThisIsHarsh ; Intelligent and interactive military recon, patrol and response
Looks like it should make things more interesting

xxx. [2010-09-11]No Station Wrecks by djrygar / ThisIsHarsh
Possibly not working?

10. [2010-07-22][TC/AP]Pirate Guild 3 by Serial Kicked ; Smarter Pirates
The vanilla Pirate Guild bases are very sad indeed

11. [2011-03-21][TC/AP]The Phanon Corporation by Litcube ; Adds an aggressive competing corporation
More action. I want to see how this works in practise in X3 AP

12. [2010-07-01][TC/AP]Yaki Armada 2 by Serial Kicked ; Makes Yaki smarter and stronger
Compatible with Pirate Guild 3

13. [2008-12-16][TC/AP]Remove Rocks from Universe by Graxster
This really tidies up the 'rocky' sectors. Good for FPS as well.

14. [2009-08-14][TC/AP]HKP Transponder Interface Software by ChaosRas ; Locates and maps non-hostile stations in ship sector
Should save a lot of time when exploring / travelling.

15. [2012-10-08][AP]Enable Impossible Mission Difficulty by silentdeth/morbideth ; Adds missions of impossible difficulty to the game.
Why wouldn't you want this? :P

16. [2009-09-15][TC/AP]Add Missing Ware Selling Locations by Mysterial ; Adds several wares to docks that weren't in any at all
Not a big deal, but could be useful.

17. [2008-12-16][TC/AP]SpaceLootTransporter by Huefte ; Collect wares (by teleport)
I don't have the patience to collect wares manually. Now if only it worked for collectable rocks. BTW, collected wares go 'BOOM' which is a bit of a shock the first time it happens.

18. [2008-12-16][TC/AP]Rotate and Move Objects by Graxster
I like to keep things tidy.

19. [2008-12-25][TC/AP]Square Galaxy Map by SunBlade ; altered GalaMap mesh
Should be easier to find your way around

20. [2008-10-27][TC/AP]AI Ship kills payout Bountyboost by LV
I think the Vanilla bounty on the bigger hostile ships is pretty pathetic.

21. [2010-04-02][TC/AP]Transporter trade by cyberfuzzie ; Trade with station via Transporter Device, ie without docking
Clunky, but functional. Now you can trade stuff without having to wonder whether your ship can dock or not.

22. [2008-12-16][TC/AP]Numeric Race Rank Titles by Gazz
I don't want to have to memorize dozens of titles to know when I'll be able to buy stuff!

23. [2012-04-10][AP]TSOG-AP by TEKing66 ; Adds ten new Terran only missions for X3AP
More stuff for the Terran start

24. [2008-12-16][TC/AP]Ring of Fire by Gazz ; Deploys Lasertowers
If I play long enough to get the money for those lasertowers ...

25. [2012-04-02][TC/AP]Universal Best Buys/Sells Locator by alex2069
I'll probably need this.

26. [2012-09-28][TC/AP]Change Sector Size by Nicoman35
Handy timesaver for those stupidly big sectors

27. [2010-05-21][TC/AP]Sell Blueprints by Dillpickle; Generic missions to sell blueprints to shipyards.
Fixes a big problem with Vanilla HQ

28. [2012-04-20][TC/AP][MD] Enhanced Blueprint Missions By Dillpickle; A wider range of Blueprints offered for sale
Might be useful

29. [2010-08-07][TC/AP]Memia AutoScan Asteroids by Memia ; Automatically scans any asteroids in range of the mineral scanner (Needs editing to work in AP).

[2012-04-18][TC/AP]Universal Explorers Continued 2.5.Beta1-XRM (18APR2012) by FalconGrey; based on earlier work by 7ate9tin11s
Looks interesting... but is it only compatible with XRM games?

[DrBullwinkle]

Good luck.

Most of those should work fine together.

If you have not already seen Teleth's List, you might enjoy it:

I got the first 15 installed with no problem, but then hit a small snag.
.... nevermind, I just worked it out.

Thanks. I don't think I'll be adding any extra ones to my list yet, but there are certainly some interesting ones to consider there.

Hello.
I'm a newbie in X games, just starting to learn how to play.
I'm looking for graphic mods. Just to extend basic, visual pleasure. I bought X3 Terran Warpack on GOG, can you tell me which cockpit, ship textures and "realistic space" mods are the best? You know, just stuff to improve visuals (and GUI too...).
Thanks in advance and sorry for a bit chaotic post
