[X3:AP] Just Started Playing Again

[NewtSoup]

I thought I would have another bash at Albion Prelue - Gonna Get Me ALL the Achievements this time and then consider it a done deal.

Finished main plot
On the food gathering for the Hub at the moment
Small Weed / Booze setup in Savage Spur
3 x SPPXL complex in Akeela's - this made me broke having been at around 100 Million.
Wheat Farms in President's End
CAGs for everything
CLS2 for general economy maintenance.
I don't build self sustaining complexes - I build complexes for products, and for intermediates, and for resources. For example I buy the wheat from the AI at the cheapest price and sell MY wheat TO the AI at the highest price I can get.


I am just curious about something though - I found an Interceptor in Ghinn's Escape. It was damaged and blue with shields and alpha kyons. I didn't shoot it so I have no idea where it came from - Could it be a "free ship" that's generated by the game?

[NewtSoup]

I'm going to answer my own question:

Yes, it's a randomly generated abandoned ship.

I wish you every success with your project

It's an old game these days but the game play is as good as it ever was and very rewarding. The replayability of X3 is second to none. My PC is overkill for it I'm getting 60fps solid ( I always use vsync because my monitors are 60hz ) and my GPU fans are not spinning. But that's fine. I do have X4 too. Which I need to get back into.

Can someone tell my why my CAG is hung up? They are just sitting there, there's a full cargo bay of wafers available and a place to sell within 4 jumps and it's just on standby. There are 2 CAGs on this station, both mistral SF, maybe the returning one already has a plan to take the wafers when it drops off the energy cells?

[NewtSoup]

Answering my own question again - yes that's exactly what happened. Perhaps I don't need 2 CAGs but it's a pair of Silicon mines at 70 and 72 yield so I thought 1 per station at least. but perhaps not.

I have the hub inserted between Megnir and Segaris

I am dropping Weed and booze off at the hub·

I can doc at terran stations in border sectors

Terrans and ATF are set to friendly

The hub allows other races to trade

The terrans are NOT buying my weed and booze!

Can anyone tell me why?

[Cycrow]

The Terrans don't use weed and space fuel, they will only buy wares that they actually use.

You really should be trading with pirates instead.

Also note that it can take time before they start buying from you.
