Hi, As a newbie to X I have a few questions, is there a good stratagy for trading? What I mean is, with the rapidly changing market prices of the comodities it quickliy gets to the stage where you have to move to a new system to continue making profit.

Hi, and welcome

Pay no attention to The Rock........he don't know jackshit!

Inter-species trade...........Stott spices to the Paranid, Nostrop oil goes fairly well anywhere (I mean, who doesn't like Nostrop?)

Jackshyt · Post by **Jackshyt** » Mon, 24. Feb 03, 01:14

Thanks Scarecrow, I havn't seen the Paranid yet, Only in Boron space so far. I should point out that I only have the origional game X: Beyond the Frontier. Bought it when it came out and promtly forgot about it. Found it a couple of weeks ago and slapped it on my machine and fired it up. So far I'm enjoying it enormously.
Any other advice you could give would be much appreciated.

And Rock, Glad I could give you a laugh.

Hey JS, don't be put off by these guys taking the p**s, they're just a little bit cranky waiting for the next game in the series to come out. Check out some of the other posts on the board to see what I mean

But that IS sound advice from the Scarecrow man. ALWAYS buy cheap and sell dear. Check out my site to download Excel tables for factory stats if you like. Or look for posts by a guy called Commander Jamieson. His website is truly a wealth of info.

PS. Welcome aboard this crazy bandwagin

Yeah, welcome in mate, put your feet up and have a drink.

The_Rock · Post by **The_Rock** » Mon, 24. Feb 03, 09:23

well ok here goes....

atart off by trading in energy cells around the sectors(cheap and cheeful)
, move onto crystals (good proifit if you know where to go) and then up selling high-end products such as satellites..

BTW soya beans ain't too bad to start of as well.

Search for a guy called "Rapier" and check out his sig for the excel file.

edit : -The Rock deserves a drink after that..

@JS
A strange nick name there JS. Perhaps a rethink of your nickname might be in order if only to keep the standard of this forum up. Get in touch with Steel if you want to change or we might do it for you. Permanent

All other newbies who read this and who get ideas of such "funny" nick names, think twice

Cheers

My apologies Commander Jamieson, but I've been using this name online for many years and I would be loath to change. Is anybody reading this offended by my nickname?

Lord Vagina??!!??!?!? some people have way too much time on their hands!

well the moderator is mate

Thats enough for me to do as i'm told

please do not misconstrue my pathetic attempt at humour for a challenge to cj's opinion

which i also happen to agree with

there is a general rule that any profanity ect is kept off the front page of the board iirc.

Ok, I started X-btf by trading anything fairly cheap (Ore, Nostrop,Energy) until I could afford an Ore mine. Flower farms are quite profitable. My Silkworm Missile Factory was a godsend!
