3/21/2024 0 Comments X3 albion prelude litcube mod![]() Sitting next to an M6 for half an hour before it finally popped, its turrets doing so little damage, ya could have thrown balls made out of paper at the starting mamba, they would have done more damage! Thats also the point when combat started to become REAL boring. i made 20 million alone from selling all those 1mj shields that were just everwhere! xD 99% of the money i made was from bailed ships and dropped loot. Combat-missioning my way to rank 4 with the terrans and to rank 6 with the split to buy a TL. Moving on to check out those Saturn Complex Hubs and found that those were pretty cheap and only required rank 4. So i came to the conclusion that trading is an absolut no-go for making money. 3+ million the transport, 260k the factory. "Oh well" i thought and set it all up, only to meet my second WTF moment, that i need to buy a software now that costs another million credits, just to supply that factory. a basic TS, 2 million credits? 8 times as much as the factory? Sats and sold the M5sĭid some missions until i could buy an 1MJ factory, Thats when i had my first WTF moment. Took the advanced start, because M3 is always nice. As in, going the most effective way possible. Whereas with vanilla X3:AP I would experience the forum trading scripts start being taxy midgame limiting battles So for me the hundreds of hours spent in this game were figuring out mechanics, learning about this universe, flying endlessly through space, blowing stuff up, getting blown up, countering the OCV, figuring out how to retake sectors, analysing the growth patterns of the rival company, jumping on top of their ships, taking em out and getting the hell out of there before a response fleet shows upĪll in a way that doesn't start giving performance issues once growth starts becoming exponantial So 4th playthrough, get to an Excalibur and slap it full with M6+ ships and see if those can survive battles without (ab)using missilesĬurrently this playthrough is at a stage of having 8 Argon reputatoin of the 10 required, but I do have 3 M7+ ships and just found the renamed Maccana M7C(Hayabusa) (I started to get bored once I actually had the production chain somewhat fleshed out in a sector and could crank out M7+ ships like no tomorrow, but this took me a while)Ī second playthrough was more focused on trading and experimenting with how much money the mining ships would get me.Īfter the 3rd playthrough I spend time screwing around in the game seeing if there was stuff I missed, which led me to find an Excelibur which can dock M6 ships So in LU I am at my 3rd or 4th playthrough now with the first one having as goal "learning LU and building an HQ which has the SCHx400 supply chain to build and equip M2+ battleships to be able to stand against the OCV How big did the rival company grow and did you experience the rival company sending out patrols to take down your assets?įor me for a game, or a playthrough in X3(LU) to be "fun", or enjoyable, or at least worth staring at the screen for, I have to either discover something I "want to do" in the game or be in need of just hanging out in space for the rest of the day.īut if I'm not in the mood, I can't play and I had to learn to read my own mood and plan it a bit in the days ahead in order to be able to play games in general, and X3 is one of the lower threshold ones in those cases as I have knowledge without requiring to think and it can be an escape to just hang about in space watching the world still live without me How did the OCV incursions progress for you and what did you do to stop them/reconquer their sectors? ![]() How did you go about making your first millions? ![]() ![]() How much knowledge did you have of the X3 game before starting LU?Ĭould you elaborate on what you did and what strategy you used? ![]() I really want to like this mod, lots of awesome ideas and features in it. Why has trading been made useless? Why combat so insanly slow and boring? Why this overpowered, infinite-money cheat Saturn Complex Hub? But after just one week, it is absolutly boring with a balance i just cant understand. I was drooling on my pants when i read the description.
