Also (for those who eather have subs (subtitles) on or were paying atention) when your ship computer says 'you are being promoted' you were eather getting a rank up for your combat or trading rank was going up or 'you have gained recognition' if a faction rank goes up, the higher your combat rank or trade rank the harder the missions they will offer you and the more the 'easy' and 'average' missions will pay. You need to be a level spacific level to buy ships or specific equipment from factions. Another good way to raise your rep with a particular faction is buying from them. to your Elite or Nova).Īlso get a trading system extension this is very useful for buying ships at the shipyard of having other ships docked at a dock like a trading station or equipment dock and by checking the stations info you can see whats in stock, also look at your notariaty level you earn notariaty by protecting ships (or destroying invaders), doing missions for a faction's people or killing the faction's enemies in their terratory (i don't reccomend that with eather Buster, Nova or Elite as they will rape you with their frigates and capital ships if you arn't paying atention or even when you are).

well only target missiles) to do that you will need to get the Fight Command MK 2 upgrade for your Elite or Nova also transfer all the upgrades (jumpdrive, trading system extension ect. Ok, in this part we are going to assume that you have a big area discovered arround Argon Prime because you have been doing missions to earn cash to fully upgrade your Buster, keep doing those missions so you can earn enough cash for a new ship i reccomend a Nova M3 or an Elite M4 fighter.īoth are good ships get Partical Accellerator Cannons and/or High Energy Plasma Throwers or a combination of the two for the main weapons, also steal an Impulse Ray Immitter from your Buster to go on the tailgun and set that to missile defense or missiles only (missile defense means defend the ship if there arn't any missiles arround and missiles only means. Remember to save often, this game can be really punishing if you don't save after completing a large task like a large completly outfitting a large ship or before a big change like building a station. You will have to come back now and then to fully upgrade your ship after a mission or so, also for those looters all ships have a chance of dropping cargo and/or bailing this can be a slow but easy way to get cash (based on what you find) to pick up these boxes simply ram your ship into it and your ship computer will say (say you just found a pack of 50 energy cells (you will need this for your jumpdrive) 'cargo bay now contains energy cells' yes i know unfortunitly it doesn't say how many. After that get some Impulse Ray immiters at the equipment station at Argon Prime to fill all of your weapon slots, max out your shields and if possible fully upgrade your ship.ĭo some missions to earn some money when you're low, i reccomend recover abandoned ship missions and if they are close enough, easy one ship kill missions agenst weak ships like fighters and fully upgrade your buster and save up for your next fighter, also protect station missions are an easy way to get cash because it doesn't matter how they die you still get the cash.Īlso check your ship's maximum shield (notice i said ship not fighter because you can use corvett's frigates and even captical ships) by going to it's info page in the ship catagory which is represented by a ship to the left of your screen, heres an example Argon's Mammoth TL transporter can carry a max of 5 200 MJ shield gens (this is equal to a GJ shield) there is such thing as a GJ shield which is mainly found on frigates and missile frigates like the paranid deimos and a 2GJ shield for carriers and destroyers like argon's Collossis Carrier and Ttian Destroyer and the AI ship called Argon One, Argon's flagship.

Let's start off with some basics, talk to the fight school pilot, he will give you your first ever mission should you chose to accept it, (every preset has one) to accept this mission target his ship by left clicking on him, click open communication (or hit C) and hit the first option (or simply tap 1) he will tell you how to fly, target objects, opening the comm links, requesting docking permission (i reccomend using autopilot for a while untill you get used to X3AP), firing your ship's main weapons aswell as loading and firing missiles.
