Dont know what I am doing wrong, but when you start an easy game, you do NOT egt the ship you say your supposed to get. is Neophyte X3 different thatn X3 TC? in easy mode you start out with the Normandy. I am trying to give this game a real chance, but the more I play it the more I hate it, far too difficult for the casual gamer.

Sounds like you are playing a modified X TC game and trying to compare it with advice in an oldish thread about X2 The Threat.

Thanx for the TuTs, Nanook. I've recently got out of EvE Online because i live in paraguay and don't have a credit card for the monthly subscription -and to tell you the truth, i don't want to go into all that trouble just for EvE- so i started looking for a game alike and i also found out that X is older than EvE so that kinda gives me motivation to want to play it.
I'm downloading the trial version of X3 Terran Conflict and i'm really looking forward to it.
I've been reading posts about how hard the game is and i've really started to like the game even before i play it. There's nothing worse in the world of gameplay than a game that's simple and lineal. And seeing all those tuts you've posted gave me more and more reasons to give it a full shot.
Thanx for the posts! I'll be giving my review of the game at least after i played it for awhile and tell you how i did.

Thanks for the advice, I came across it a little late. Had finished the 3rd mission and dabbled in trading already. Bought the freighter and have 1.4m now. Time to figure out buying factories :) Thanks again.

This is quite useful - as a veteran pilot I already was well aware of this method but it's quite useful now that a lot of people are playing X2 again. Cheers.
If I wasn't too busy playing X-TENSION, I'd be in my Mercury selling more Argnu Beef in X2. :D

just got started on this game ! Played Elite for years! So fare have only one problem during game play and that was docking without a docking computer. I believed I've solved the issue! The information you posted is good too know, and I will refer to it in the future.

Hello! I have a small problem with Boron Mako M, I can't buy the ship because there are none in the shipyard, what can I do?

Either wait, look for a shipyard that has one in stock, or buy an S and just upgrade it the old fashioned way.

The problem is that I don't know other Boron shipyards!

Then your only choices are to wait for the M version to become available or to buy the S version and outfit the ship yourself.

If you opt to wait then place a satellite in the same sector as the shipyard so you can check on availability whenever you want (provided you have a Trading System Extension on your ship).
Admitting you have a problem is the first step in figuring out how to make it worse.

The only difference between S,M,L models is the shields and weapons pre installed to your craft. The chassis is always the same.

Your mini guide is amazing, thanks. I thinks it is a great way to start. I buyed the humble bundle and played a while first 2 games. But this one is awesome. Ty.

Thanks loads for this info. But I was wondering if you opted to get the "Dolphin" instead of selling the weapons from the "Discoverer" could you use them to start with on the Dolphin ?

Dolphins can't mount weapons.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

X4 is a journey, not a destination. Have fun on your travels.
