brennan's triumph

a madalay decided to hurt me. in my disco, i managed to cap it. without seta, it was tedious indeed taking it back to the nearest base to save, and then on to argon prime.
but it seems to have all been worth it. is it a glitch in my game that meant i got 120m creds for it?
gots me a nice new nova.

[pjknibbs]

I hope you mean 120,000, not 120 million! 120k is just about believable because any goods, weapons or shields on a ship are sold at half price when you sell the entire ship to a shipyard, so a Mandalay with full shields and weapons could easily fetch that sort of money.

[rainmaker]

well, i think nova cost like a million
and i still have a lot left. i think it's a glitch.
luckily, i have a savegame, so i can just

Umm... you're aware that this post has been dead for half a year, right?

[Maximum476]

omg I just read through a thread thats months old, only realised when I got to the end. OK it still maybe useful to some people but remember 1.4 was released after this thread, so shall we stop resurecting threads?

[Lordcd]

that part where you say that you capture a nova every 2 min, thats very very hard to believe.

[Maximum476]

Plus it will also result in a very low race rank, I only cap enemy ships which makes things more awkward. Actually I did think up a nice way to cap a ship if your in your dragon, just simply keep facing the enemy so your turrets dont fire at the target (but they fire at anyone else) and use your appc which is fast and fairly weak (still doesn't work as well as normal methods but it means you don't have to go change your ship).

As a complete duffer, with No. 1 son a newbie too, we wholeheartedly thankyou for your incite and thouroughness. radarhazard ( and Ford Prefect).

[MGA]

radarhazard. You do realize that this thread is about a year old?

[CBJ]

Indeed, but it is a good thread and, as far as I can see, the information is still relevant.

[Trehek]

Relevant, maybe. But I still think the numbers are off here and all this is explained better elsewhere. Comparing stats with some of them done with 10xSETA is just confusing..

['Airstrike' Ivanov]

This is a very good easy-to-read newbie guide for how to make money in X2. The numbers can get a little confusing at times, but it's still well-done. I will definately be referring to this and the factory-owners guide that you linked many times in the future as I play my plot-free game of X2.

[PunkPropaganda]

Again you use words like TS and TP .. this is supposed to be a guide for newbies ..

AND THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS IN THIS GAME LIKE TS AND TP ..

it's nerd language you all made and aint helping much.

so can you and the rest of game kings please start explaining what you mean when you write TS , TP, M4, M6 or whatever you call it.

[kotekzot]

i'll consider caring when you start asking nicely.

Sadly, this thread must now head south permanently, too.
