I would say. 41.5mil then

..................141 million.........

Insurance companies need underwriters and that
falls to banks. I think I already read where someone
wanted banks in the sectors. That would let the player gain
interest on his stash even before he buys that 10Gj shield factory
and all of the supporting facs.

Disaster insurance would be a good thing.

However, most (real)insurance doesn't cover losses due to war.

What to do?

Teladi would likely sell insurance, for great profffitttttsss.

That reminds me that my pc insurance has the fowling exceptions:

war- civil war- insurrection- invasion (see war) undertaken by external force whether war has or has not been declared- civil disorder- civil disobedience- state of emergency- the result of actions undertaken by government officials during the above- nuclear explosion/ detonation- nuclear fission- radiation- supersonic presser waves- subsonic presser waves- natural disasters be they terrestrial or not terrestrial in origin- acts of terrorism- acts of vigilantism

Man, in the event of a nuclear explosion, I wouldn't mind not getting insurance as long as the insurance company doesn't get insurance!

Perhaps if you did a reload and had tons of lasertowers this might benifit you. I know in X2, the khaak would go after the laser towers first and then attack my stuff. Therefore, I had 18 lasertowers to take care of the Khaak attacks. Someone in another thread awhile back said that the Khaak seem to jump in behind the West gate about 20m or so. Good luck my friend.

I've just done a few experiments with lasertowers and the Khaak.

I packed 32 towers into a merc, got in it and jumped to Red Light, where the Khaak are camped in my game.

First, I played a little chicken with the M2, and when he started coming towards me, I dumped all the towers out and upped their shields. The M2 turned around and went away !

Next, I went right up to 5km away and dumped the towers, but hung around too long and got fried. So next time I dumped them on its doorstep and acelerated away from it. Lost half sheilds before i was out of range. The towers fired at the M2 all at once. It lost about 30% shields, at which point I jumped out for safety. After jumping, the M2 didnt take any further shield damage and just took the towers apart 3 at a time. By the time I got back in sector, only 10 were left and they didnt have the firepower to hurt it at all, and all died quickly.

Most interesting bit was that the Khark didnt want to take them on the first time, indicating that the towers, while they might not survive a fight with an M2, do appear to be a deterent for them.

Have you or anyone tried dumping out mines when chased by Khaak M2?



What this game apparently needs is a modded 'Anti Matter' weapon


Captain, how did you clear out that entire sector of asteroids?
Why I used my Anti Matter mining charge.

I at the moment have got the power to out the karrk. however I have managed to replace all M3s, M4s and M6s that I lost...(why has the cost of Centaurs gone up in X3.....in X2 they were around 7 million to buy from the shipyard but now there 9 million......surprised as I’ve just noticed that ) . decided not to buy a TL as it would only get blown up again

my account is holing steady at around 63 million and I should be able to buy my first M2 in a few hours and I'm already coordinating my TSs' to gather the equipment for it. Any recommendations for a heavy M2 is welcome

(I’ve had the PC on all night since the event happened but not used SETE. if you think that this is wasteful well yes it is, but to compensate I’ve turned of my heating in my room as unplugging my electric heater, printer, scanner and TV while relying on the heat from the pc to heat the room )

Current force stands at

3 Centaur squadrons (3 ships per squadron)
5 Nova Ranger squadrons (5 ships per squadron)
12 Buster Ranger Squadrons (5 ships per squadron)

There were in X2 as well. But the price varied according to your rank. As your rank went up, the price came down.

Also, the price you paid when you docked was not the amount quoted if you checked the shipyard remotely, usually you paid a lot higher.
