Well, blow me down if you're not right again. I'll let someone know.
Edit: Sizes now corrected. Thanks for letting us know.

Do you think they lost a decimal place somewhere ? cos the download is 176MB Rolling Eyes
Edit for being wrong
The torrent file you download is actually 14.1 kB. However the file the torrent creates is, as you say, way bigger but you are not downloading that from the site.
If i didnt understand torrents but still tried to download the file and it said 178MB i might be concerned when it only seemed to download 14.1 kB...
Change subject: If I start from scratch with the 2.0.02 will i still be able to auction for Avarace or is that script activated from the start?
Thanks

I'm up to the part where I need to get a Argon Trading Station. The problem is, I only have 3 million credits, 3 UT and one mine. I need at least 30,000,000.

Can anybody help me out here?
You've got a long way to go, but it can be done!
Ways to make money with 3 million:
Buy 2 more STs and start them up working towards UT-status. Don't get a third yet, as you and the UTs will want seed money for trading. I suggest you set all the UTs to use the mine as their homebase, and set the mine to transfer cash to you at 1,000,000 credits.
Trade in your fighter for a small, fast TS (Split for preference) and start trading in high-tech and arms. Crystals, Quantum tubes, missiles, shields, guns - that sort of thing. Trade silicon if you find a mine with a price less than 300 credits!
Keep your fighter and go capping crazy.
As cash comes in, invest in more, carefully positioned mines and factories. If you use the Station Manager from the Bonus Pack then a well-placed single factory can survive with just one trader.

Sorry, not many ideas, but it's a start.
Thanks. I'll sell my two M3+s as well. Currently I'm running around in a Centaur. What will setting my UT's homebase to my mine do?

which will have overwritten emp unless u put the plugin manager into patch mode.
Ahhh ok that explains it...
Cycrow your a mod? I never noticed that before, congratz man
But umm.. HOW do I put the manager in patch mode? (something tells me the answer is sitting right under my nose..)
yeah, have been for awhile
in the plugin manager, goto Advanced, then select Prepare patch mod.
then you install the patch, and go back into the plugin manager to restore it to normal mode
I now have an extra trading station in Avarice not sure what I will do with 2 but ok LOL
Once you own Avarice, it will stay yours. If you bought it in 2.0.* and lost it, this patch will give it back to you the next time you dock at a station or enter a sector
As your Qoute said in the read me file I never lost Avarice I had gotten while I was playing v2
So after I jumped out of there it let me select the name again and when I looked in there again I had a 2nd trading station right next to the first one.
Oh PS there is now a Teladi Buzzard sitting right out the front of the new 2nd station and it looks like it is the previous owner of the sector. And he's not moving just stays in the one place.
I know it must be his twin Maybe he's going to try to claim squarters rights LOL
I only have one extra script running in my game for the UT Sat based trading script
I agree, I do the same thing and I play all my games with no probs at all. I've even installed the new 2.0 over my two scripts that i added because i wanted to use the terran ships. and no probs, game is running fine. Just one question, I seem to be stuck on a mission, After returning the m7 ship to the ship yard, the next mission has me to deliver a argon trading station. Ok, so I bought the station and deliverd it to the kingdoms end and nothing happened. Then I delivered it all the way back to grand exchange. I've docked the tl at the shipyard and nothing, then tryed to drop it in the sector and still nothing happened. could some one please tell me what exactly I need to do or deliver that darn station?. Thanx. Oh, by the way, Im in my new m7 with a nova and my new m3+ docked to it and you can change ships any time you want. I think that is really cool and thank you egosoft for the new mission patch, I will enjoy this new life for x3. Oh and the money I have is around 1 billion credits and thats with 9 stations and 10 full ut's, and now I have my first m6 and well as the m7 and my two fighters docked to it, so I guess thats the beginning of my little big fleet.
