Hmmm anyone found an equivalent to pirate alley? Been shooting mission ships for a good while and not one has bailed.

Spoiler

Show

Try shooting Yakis in Aldrin Territory (they come from Tortuga). Alternativly you could also start picking traders of another race.
Or you wait until the universe is fully expanded and there are Xenons around

If you think the bailing chances are too low, you can adjust them in the custom difficulty settings (but remember, that not only the player is able to let pilots bail, thus the settings are much lower than in Vanilla)

After X3 TC lots of people loved Springblossom and now, in XTC this ship means nothing. It should cost about 20 mln and have 250 speed. Can you change balans on MY ship in the newest patch , PLEASE. (sorry for my english)

No.

We stated very, very early that XTC is not going to feature uuberships. If you want the speed, use an M5.

Partly because we never loved the Springblossom, really. 'Tis a harrowing tale.

Of course, you're free to edit the Tships in your install the way you want it.

Oh, i must've missed that in the manual...

Does that also mean that NPC's can claim ships too?

"Lots of people" called it Cheatblossom for a reason

Well i liked the Springblossom with its 360 m/s but it was indeed overpowered xD so i dont care if it got nerfed. Just did a few combat missions (to earn some money on the split start) and i have to say i like it.
Even if i am still searching for a "small" split shipyard xD.

It is no longer an M6 - it is now classed as a TP.. a very expensive one!!

No, but they will explode after a while automatically (if not claimed) (also adjustable in the difficulty settings)

So now is just one right ship ... HyperionCheat.

Alex Vanderbilt · Post by **Alex Vanderbilt** » Tue, 21. Dec 10, 15:56

If you say so.

But be prepared to fail when you rely on only this ship...

LOL Springblossom was so unbalanced it wasn't funny. The Hyperion was the same on a lesser scale. Now they are properly balanced people will complain you took their red button of kill away

BTW I did the same

berengar 7 · Post by **berengar 7** » Tue, 21. Dec 10, 16:43

Now they are properly balanced

but not everyone.
Show me another ship who is almost that good like Hyperion is. I don't know about Seth (can we use?)
There is answer...

Partly because we never loved the Springblossom, really.

Should be few "the best" ships in game and then you have real choice which one you want to use. When is just one it's going to be boring...

Did the notoriety rewards get fixed in XTC or are they still Vanilla broken?
As seen here.

Did OOS combat get tweaked?

razorhead · Post by **razorhead** » Tue, 21. Dec 10, 16:47

Been exploring with the split start since yesterday. I'm in awe the whole time

It's like playing a new X. Shame I'm on my holidays which are going to be followed by a carnage of aerospace engineering exams in january. Otherwise I'd play this to my heart's contempt.

Great work, and a really big thank you for your effort.

Sorry but, what are you talking about? The Hyperion is a TP.
One uber ship? This is exactly what XTC avoids, all ships have their place.

So... anyone mind telling me what the heck a Magic Tree is for then?

Picked it up after my first kill.

@h2o.AvA:

We have a different approach to that, and we don't try to be the cure for Terran Conflict

@berengar 7:

The Springblossom was reworked for a very good reason. Not because something needs to be nerfed. This is a single player game, nobody will complain if you cheat. Just go ahead and give the Springblossom back the speed it had in TC. It's pretty easy, and just some mouseclicks. Open the 13 cat/dat, go to the folder types and open the flie TShips. You will find the Springblossom right at the top. *shrug*

All others can stay with the current Springblossom, which was reworked, as the mod requires to have a mor specialised ship for some purposes. Before anyone complains... have a look at the Hyperion also. TPs... now what was the purpose of a TP in vanilla? What wasn't working all the time... what would happen to boarding pods, if there is a ECM?

Questions, questions... Maybe the Hyperion/Springblossom has really a role to fill?

Just play the mod... you will see a lot of things, including not so obvious stations, some fancy designs ... exploring pays

In my game, CQ and DX variants cost the same.
