Goner start?

[Drone_101]

@OP

This mission is teaching you how to use "Rented" TL's to move stations around.

Message the Captain, get him to follow you to the sector with your HQ in it, once in sector message the captain tell him to dock at shipyard > select your HQ.

Once he's docked move the station from your HQ onto the Elephant, have the Captain move to where ever you want the station (I went back North one sector to be closer to my future buyers) and get him to deploy the factory.

Good luck and have fun!

I fail to understand all the people telling the OP to go play the sandbox or the custom game.
He plays the x3FL probably BECAUSE it has new narrative and BECAUSE it has some different plots.
If he can't play it and he wants to play custom game he could already do that with X3TC he doesn't need FL for that!
Sorry but I can feel his frustration!

There's alot more in FL than just a new plot
And a sandbox game in FL is not the same as TC

The Split ship is docked at my shipyard, as am I.
Also bofu station is ready and waiting.
But I can not find how to get the bofu station from the shipyard onto the split ship.
Look at my options above, here is nothing to say pick up station.

Try to undock any of your own ships first, I think that this a bug. Only have the TL docked.
if you go into one of the menus (of your HQ) it has I think the BOFU thing and on the right side ship just go down to that line and right arrow and then enter to load it.
Once this is done, order the TL to go to the sector where you want build in.
Then you can comm him and order him to drop the station, you will be able to move it in 3D and hit enter to build it.

Go play Universal Combat.

Thank you.

Had to transfer the TSE, undock both trade ships. Me as well.
Only then could the the Bofu station be transferred, as the split ship was the only option.

This is like doing a Jigsaw with the pieces blacked over,
Heres a couple of pieces, guess where they go !
Bofu station is deployed, the thing is ! I do not want a Bofu station.
So have made it invisible in my property list, blessed thing flashing all the time demanding it be fed.

My Boron Tutor wants 2850 energy cells.
Wait for price to get down to 12 each.
Carry 2850 Energy Cells to the Boron Research station.
It’s Full, it will not take them. !
More waiting around !
Perhaps this tutorial was devised by collage students who frequently sleep every couple of hours !
Sit a short distance from the station, SETA running, waiting for the Energy slot to show some room.
Have my mid day tuna roll, a cup of tea, No, no change, still full. 5000/5000, Waite !
It dropped to 4999/5000, then immediately went to 5000/5000.
Half an hour with SETA running and the station is still full to the brim.
This is absurd.

Am unable to proceed, yet again.

All my tutor can say is can I help. ( shipyard, Equipment dock ) !

My jigsaw puzzle just got 5000 more blank pieces thrown in the box,

This is so bad it has become funny, .

Looks like I might be playing Forza Horizon 4 this afternoon.
Thats a car racing game on Xbox, it works.

Why dont you forget about the Bofu Station for now and move on with plot? You can always sell it back when you have your won TL. I also did not like it, its still sitting in the Boron space doing nothing but flashing. Will sell it as soon as I get my hands on first TL.

[Fulgrymm]

Nort, are you flying the freighter personally, or telling it to dock remotely? I could only complete these delivery objectives by personally being inside the Dolphin I used to get the wares.

[Nort The Fragrent]

Next hoop fallen through, just been given permission to dock at the Piranid trading station.

Flying time thus far : 1 -12 : 05

I am so enjoying this tethered game start, and I am still not free of it.

I might might eat that Boron chap if I can catch him.

[Nort The Fragrent]

Oh Grate !

Next part of the step by step mission to get into the game, , , is Kill pirates.

I do not want to kill things, a want to trade, explore, have a nice time flying around.

Thats why i chose the Goner start. !

NOT KILLING THINGS.

When are you game makers going to get the message, killing is not what every one wants to be doing. It’s so old school, Cave man dumb stuff.

Picked up the Triplex scanner from the Equip dock.

Did some flying around, loaded up with 12c energy cells.

So to advance I have to kill pirates in my Goner Ranger. Really !

An other stopping element of the Game !


Is there a way around this shut door ?

If for some unexplained reason a poor pirate is killed, my rep with them will fall.
The rep being all part of the game, they have things I will want over time, so why upset them?

I could understand killing in a simulator as part of the tutorial, but this is what I chose as a peaceful beginning,

The option to be peaceful is not available with this Game start, that ought to have been made clear at the start. Not be thrust upon you this late in the game start up .

It’s supposed to A Goner, peaceful beginning.

[Fulgrymm]

*sigh* The "game makers" aren't going to get whatever message you're trying to send. Fight is literally one quarter of the tagline for the X games. If you want to ignore that aspect, that's on you, but don't go blaming the devs for your own decisions.

[Nort The Fragrent]

Goner, peaceful, ! Spreading the word, I think is what it said. ( Fulgrymm )

To avoid all killing altogether do a custom start, no other way...

[Midnightknight]

Well with the main plot you are required to do a bit of killing but not that much in the end. But yes if you want to be all peaceful make a custom start but it was almost always true in all X series as most plots involved some killing at a point or another.

[Nort The Fragrent]

I am at a lose once again,

I have to kill pirates, but have no guns !

So spent some time, dismantling the Dolphin for the blueprints, then did the same with the Demeter.
This I tested first, realising it’s best to unload the ship of every thing you can, as it all gets lost in the process.
Then rebuilt the ships and put the shields back in. Traded Energy cells for a while to get some loot in the pot.
Now off to look for pirates, try and bump into one see if that will work.
Can not even get close, it did drop some credits, so not a complete failure.
But now what?
Looks like I will not be leaving the system. So am stuck in this little bubble of sectors .

Quite frustrating to be honest.

Thinking a Goner start would be a challenge, and it has been. But this blocking the rest of the game off is . . . . Why ? I can not fathom the logic, a peaceful start , and you have to fight !

Why didn't it say you are a religious fanatic with no gun, not even a knife, or a piece of rope, and candle stick, or a gerrot.

Do I have to sneak into the pirate station at night and murder them in their beds.
Some help here would be much appreciated, poison, ! Hammer ! A cliff ! Tall building ! Throw them in the river with a concrete block set on the feet ?

Or is the a big Bible to find, so I can bash them over the head.

[chip56]

There are some things you can try:
1) Check if any NPC is selling an M5,M4 or M3. With that and the weapons you found you should be able to handle some pirates.
2) I assume you start with a goner ranger on the goner start? That one has great shields and hull. Enough that you should be able to ram M4s without any issue and those you should be able to catch in regards to speed. Note that its easier to ram a ship if you are flying about the same speed as they are, so brake down if you are a lot faster than them

[Fulgrymm]

If you have full shielding for your ranger, then yeah try ramming the little guys. Else maybe look for an M4 that's fully equipped, and order it to attack on your behalf.

[Cycrow]

You also have a blueprint for a scorpion that you can build and weapons on the Demeter to equip it

Exactly... the "Big Bible" thingy of a sorts...

Spoiler

Show

You have your Ranger with 200MW Shield and a speed of 275 m/s. you have to find pirates that are already in fight with others (even M3's), wait a bit for their shields to run down (or even some hull damage as it will slow them down) and then ram!!!

P.S. Sorry to take a way the "think" thingy...
