I personally did not sell the Discoverer, and instead used it as a recon/satellite deployment ship, because it has a very high speed once upgraded. Most people will NOT recommend selling your Mercury, as this is your best ship for trading at the start. NOTE: Many players like to sell their Discoverer right off the bat. You may be using a joystick, and if you are, you probably know how you’ve set it up. This will allow you to accomplish much more (in real time) much quicker.Īrrow keys, holding your left mouse button, or pressing spacebar and then moving the mouse, allow you to steer your ship. If your PC can handle it (I used to run it on a laptop with a Pentium 2.4 GHz CPU and 4Gb RAM, so it isn’t like running Crysis 3 or anything), I recommend you go to the options menu (Shift+O) and go into the gameplay options, and turn the SETA up to 10X. Make a Humble Merchant or load your already existing one. STARTING OUT AND HOW TO NOT SUCKįirst, you’ll want to open the game, of course, and you’ll want to click on “NEW GAME”, and the - oh, you already figured that out? Good for you. This is really a general trading guide, with some locational tips for the Humble Merchant, because if you like to trade a lot, chances are you may be playing a Humble Merchant.įinally: and of course, you can also follow along in my weekly Humble Merchant journals, the first of which is here.
It is also hand-picked, aged, designed, and crafted to be useful for both newcomers and long-time X3 fans, and everyone in-between. Similarly, different starts should be able to use the general rules and tips on trading, regardless of start, as any start can trade. NOTE: This guide is mainly written using rules and experience from playing AP (Albion Prelude), so - aside from a few exceptions, such as the Stock Exchange (which the previous games do not have) - most tips will apply to X3TC or even Reunion. I’m still human, though, and when I write, I give you the details in an understandable way (or try, at least) because I can understand that you may not immediately know what the heck “use a CLS in conjunction with a CAG to supply PFAs, PRCs and PACs, so that you can BE with your ‘plex because coffee and milk are overly expensive if bought with a fruit taco/BLT combo” means. I try to tell you how the mechanics of a game work, and give you suggestions on how to use them, but the whole reason I tell you how they work is so you can actually use them to achieve a goal which is unique to you - perhaps building the largest spork production company in the galaxy, with an outstanding artistic quality to your sporks.īecause of my geekiness with games I like, I usually know the technical little tiny details about how the geeky nerdy stuff works.
My guides aren’t written in the format that you have to follow my words exactly or else, if you don’t, the Great Spaghetti Poobleblabber from Bruce Willis Prime will eat your crabblebonkins. Now, an important note: you do NOT have to follow my blabbering exactly, and I encourage you to be creative, and make your own decisions on what you want to do and how you want to do it. Orange is for stuff that is required for the existence of the universe at an atomic level - nah kidding, it just means really important stuff, SO LOOK AT IT.Green is for tips regarding controls and menus.I just cleaned the article up and made it better.Īlso, I aim to expand it with the help of you knowledgeable readers, that way in the future the people who read this may also become knowledgeable readers. This is a rapidly-created, updated version of my original best-viewing guide, and I mean for this to replace the old version, This is essentially the same guide, with actual spell-checking, more helpful tips on how to start different things, and artistic important-stuff-emphasization via color-coding. It just bores the muffin pan out of me whenever I try to watch it, so no data about WTF is going on enters my brain.) Then you’ve come to the right geeky space-trader nut person running a gaming blog who doesn’t comprehend Downton Abby! So, you want to start out as a Humble Merchant, trading and building your way to galactic domination? Maybe you’re new to X3, and you’re as befuddled by all the abbreviations and menus as I am befuddled whenever I try to watch Downton Abby? (The point of the show eludes me.
