I'm glad they're still making these games but I'm not entirely convinced they'll ever get the X3 feeling back after Rebirth. I hope I'm wrong though as I want this to be great.

So there is no story/plot in this game? Fine by me if there isn't, I never finished the previous games story missions.

I thought all the Kha'ak got killed in an X3 plotline? Is there a shortcut for switching highway lanes to go back the way you came or do you just have to pull out of the lane and fly to the other?

I love flying through systems at 6km/s much more than putting SETA 10x on in x3.

FrickenMoron posted:Apparently the script for building new ships is broken for all factions which is why nothing seems to ever happen?! I read on Reddit someone looked into the code and the defending fleet stuff works but the AI is meant to have an attacking fleet as well but currently, it doesn't rebuild it after it gets destroyed so everything just stops.

While the game does have a content/objective problem - it is amazing how they've made a game where you can walk into your ship, fly out, take a highway and go through a jump gate to a whole other system with zero loading times (or hidden loading screens like Elite Dangerous) and almost no pop-in problems. It's very immersive. I wish Egosoft could get the money rolling in like Star Citizen did, they could do some really cool things.

The Cheshire Cat posted:I haven't played in a while - have they expanded the map at all to include more frontier/dead space zones? That would probably help. It's possible the Expansion will do this but I don't believe we have been given many clues on what the new map will look like. Pretty sure no new systems have been added since release.

This is basically a relaunch of the game right? They're probably angling for a lot of people that didn't pick up the game at release because everyone knows X games need 2 years of patching to be worth buying.

So Egosoft really doesn't want us to get our first autotrader until a few dozen hours into the game? The star gain on captains is absurdly slow still and it's really hard to get the higher level seminars for them. I also don't really understand how to find good trades by myself on the map, even if somewhere has a shortage it's still buying the goods for less than they sell.

So, ore mining worked out and I have a few million now. I bought two Eclipse Vanguards so I could have a small wing to help me out fighting the Xenon. Oh Egosoft. Wings still seem to be completely broken and they don't follow you the majority of the time and when they do they don't use their fast drives so they're flying at 225m/s when I'm 80km away and getting blown up. I'm kinda disappointed that the game is still this fundamentally broken after all this time, I had high hopes for 3.0.

I've had 3 traders assigned to the HQ and they do collect the research items overtime - a few of the items are pretty rare near the game start though so it takes a while. And remember you need solid storage containers for the Nvidium or it'll show as 0/0.

OwlFancier posted:Do tell, I haven't done any of the plots yet, busy mapping out split space. I've found that it is just the intro the all the other plots in the game. You need to complete that and the Player HQ to access the new Paranid and Split ones. Though I'm pretty sure the Split one has become bugged for me as I can't even talk to the dude to continue it now. Also, is it normal for no systems to have exchanged hands in about 20 hours of gameplay? There haven't been any invasions at all as far as I can see.

The Split questline is much better than the HAT one which I assume an intern did over a weekend. My first fleet of Argon ships I made (3 Destroyers, 3 Frigates, 6 Heavy Fighters) took out most of a huge Xenon fleet in Teladi space but the Xenon I was too much for them, only one Destroyer made it out.

The Xenon seem to have a hard time surviving in the Split DLC - one defense station I've built in Haktivah has halted all their raiding in there and the systems next to the HOP and ANT have been wiped out. But my universe seems pretty peaceful? I don't see much fighting between any of the factions, they have stations in each other sectors and things seem pretty uneventful.

SgtArseCandle posted:So I want to like this game. I had X3TC installed and modded to nine hells and I liked it. I could start out as a bounty hunter in what amounted to a steel barrel with a 9mm handgun sticking out of it, and do assassinations, bounties, pirate hunting, a bit of light banditry in argon space. I would buy bigger and better ships. I loved flying the Hyperion or the Springblossom and did plenty of fighting in both. Eventually I'd amass a small fortune and start doing some empire building. I was a proper kingpin in that I started on the "street" and fought my way up into the boardrooms. Have you joined the Scale Plate Pact? You can sign up with their faction rep just like you can any other faction.

Taerkar posted:Are those the slaves that show up in that cutscene in the one Xenon system? Because they kinda flew into the side of a Xenon frigate and died. I believe it is a scripted event that occurs whenever you discover a Jumpgate to a new Split sector - it doesn't have to just be that Xenon one.

What am I doing wrong with my Resupply Nomad? I've set it's role to Fleet Supply for my fleet of 20 Elite Vanguards and 2 Destroyers and I've told it to Gather Supplies but it just follows the fleet leader around. I've assigned it traders to help it get the wares but because the Nomad doesn't think it needs wares the traders don't do anything. When I dock a ship to resupply it, it says it requires such and such ware and I confirm the buy order but still the Nomad does nothing to actually get that ware. I'm super confused.

bgreman posted:The autopilot is so bad at dealing with getting off highways, drat. Every time, it just shunts me through the next gate. It'd keep riding the loop around if I didn't baby it. Yet, if you tell your pilot to take you there this problem never happens. You'd think the pilot 'auto-pilot' would be running the same algorithm as your auto-pilot.
