You can start shooting stuff immediately in X3:TC if you pick one of the game starts with a fighter; just pick your targets, because you don't want every race to hate you.
Jess:
Thank for those images... if you could resize and report though that would be wonderful!
Please :p


Anyone else playing?

Jess:
Also you have a pretty decent ship..

Did you just fight or did you do basic missions or pure trade...

When I first bought TC when it came out, there was loving insane rewards for the combat missions; you could make millions within a hour or so by doing Station Defense missions. In my later playthroughs, I've taken to some basic trading, then buying a Ore Collector and hunting Nividium rocks. A load of about 200 units of nividium gave me about 5 million credits (iirc). I've also downloaded the Deathmatch Arena plugin ( http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=225665 ) which you enter a sector in a fight against waves of other ships for massive payouts; On the "Hard" setting, and going up the Corvette wave, I made 35 million credits in my Boron Barracuda Prototype M3

I either start with fighting or trading; sometimes I select one race to attack, and capture their ships and sell them to their enemy race, and sell the bailed pilots as slaves. Sometimes I start with fighting and then buy a TM to carry around my fighter and a Jumpdrive, and do some trading.

You can find abandoned ships laying around in space, and they're usually unique prototype/advanced/enhanced ships. You can look it up on the Egosoft forums if you want the locations. Also, you can't find abandoned ships bigger than a M3 or TS, lol. If you do the "blah blah Return my Ship" missions, they'll sometimes spawn M6s or M7s at extremely high trade ranks, but by then you don't need them. I bought or boarded all the destroyers and carriers I have; but I don't play on that savegame anymore, I prefer working my way up, saving the save file somewhere, and restarting.

Oh, there's a list of all ships, stations, and wares in the game, with pictures here: eng.x3tc.ru. It has some spoilers on it though (in regards to races, ships, and sectors discovered by doing the Terran plot)

also,

That's a ship, and the little trail to the left? Yeah, that's a Terran fighter that's about the size of a F-16.
Jess:
haha awesome, but you really need to resize or delete the images they are driving me nuts!!!


I tried going the fighter way but i seriously got confused, i did abit of trading to learn the basics.. but everyone says you have to get really deep into the trading to get any profit
