Yupp definitely Xenon (big curly wiry looking ships)

Only the Extended Mod.. the one that comes with the game (I'm running the Linux Port)

That might explain it - I'm fairly sure that doesn't happen in vanilla X3R!

To Senectus

curly? wiry? and possibly purple?

That's Khaak destroyers

Plus, sitting in a sector and killing everything in sight is the typical behaviour of early Khaak invasions even in vanilla X3R... short after starting a new game, 2 random sectors are 'invaded'.
If they are core sectors or Xenon sectors, after a short while the Khaak are taken care of by local forces, but in case of a border sector, the 2 capital ships (sometimes even 3) will stay undisturbed until you kill em. Not a task for a Nova...

Xenon capships are more on the like of a cellphone run over by a van...

Khaak destroyers can't be outskilled. Kyon emitters make that impossible. You'd need to outrange it or simply overpower the thing. I had a Khaak invasion in Split Fire and I had to bring several of my "Viper" class M7 super-corvettes out to take the damned thing down.

I am talking to the guy in Maelstrom doing as asked.

The Nividium request, can I get it from the Paranid with enough Rep or do I have to mobile mine it in Rolk's Fate?

Thanks

I did the latter. Doesn't take long, and it's free.

I'm in a Pirate Eclipse and at the stage where I have go chasing my "father" through the guts of a nividium filled asteroid being chased by three ka'hak.

The problem is the moment that level starts the ship pulls right and crashes into the wall.

I can't accelerate or brake or turn or do anything... I die immediately

Any ideas?

senectus · Post by **senectus** » Sun, 15. Mar 09, 06:42

fixed, loaded an older save game and it now works...

dargj2 · Post by **dargj2** » Wed, 18. Mar 09, 20:56

any idea where i might be able to buy the pirate cap ships such as marauder, galleon ect? iv enabled the option to place the SY's in the default positions, and iv looked in both the Brennenans triumph SY and the pirate syndicate SY off pirate alley. all they contain are the pirate m5's-m3's and transporters.

senectus · Post by **senectus** » Wed, 18. Mar 09, 22:28

In the Pirate Sector called Maelstrom I think...

dargj2 · Post by **dargj2** » Wed, 18. Mar 09, 22:30

ill jump over and explore that sector more thoroughly now, cheers

senectus · Post by **senectus** » Wed, 18. Mar 09, 22:37

Not sure how constant it is, but there should be two pirate owned bases in the top left hand quadrant of that sector (on the way from the north gate to the west gate but closer to the centre)

dargj2 · Post by **dargj2** » Wed, 18. Mar 09, 22:45

dam this is a large sector, this is one of those times i wish i had an m5 docked on my dragon

(i dont like to use time acceleration)

SecondAcc · Post by **SecondAcc** » Wed, 18. Mar 09, 22:49

The higher your combat rank, the more ships you can buy at pirate SY's. So you need a higher fighting rank.

dargj2 · Post by **dargj2** » Wed, 18. Mar 09, 22:53

so they don't actually appear in the SY until your combat rank goes up? hmm off to a xenon sec then

Hi there.

I think XTM is great, (do get really slow fps tho right at the start) however im a man of the more the better and id love to see an XTM bonus pack that contained all the addons made by the community all tweaked to work with XTM and each other..

wouldnt that be just great?? =)

i made i poll for it here http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=240019 so i can get your feed back, and if you lot at XTM are interested then let me know...

keep up the fantastic work people you are the best =)

Apologies for asking this here, but the Xtended forums are practically inaccessible at the moment due to a server migration. I searched for well over an hour in vain, and as I'm sure this is a no-brainer for most of you I will just swallow my pride and ask:

Does Xtended add single fighter docking back to the M6 class ships? The Xtended spreadsheet which details the ship stats claims the Centaur can dock 1 M5 externally. I attempted to dock a Paranid M5 and to my surprise, it went through all the motions - even lined up with the docking lights and slowed down. It came to a rest under the belly of the Centaur, but that's it. No actual contact/docking took place.

Now I am aware of the docking bug that causes this phenomenon from time to time, and I need to know if this is the bug acting up, or is there no Docking on M6 class ships?

Thanks,

Alphos

X Universe isn't working and I have downloaded X3 on ym new computer, all updates, bonus, and XTM. Now I think it is different than when I downloaded it sometime ago on my old machine. In options under AI settings, there isn't an option to turn on the Terran. I can get there and there are ships but I can not talk or dock with them.

Anyone seen this?
