If its pirate hunting you want to do......go for an Argon Nova, and get an Ion beam cannon from the Boron. Ions take down sheilds.

you use fighter drones from the command console

Well, pirate hunting looks to be out for a while. I built my station (Herrons Nebula. All those mines and 1 power plant besides mine!), bought another transport and upgraded both transports to max speed and got um best selling price locators etc. Also traded my disco for an even faster Split Jaguar. Only 2 1mw shields tho. Anyway, all that plus the initial crystal cost for the station... I sold my Beomon .

I'd like to build stations in Kingdoms End and the place to the east of it as they have NO power stations! Anyhoo, that's what I'm saving up for instead of a million credit fighter.

Only question... boron spp's for example are almost 100,000 more than Argon ones. Do they generate a greater yield? (Argon plant makes 267 energy cells per 2 crystals )

There are some nasties called the "Xenon" if that's what you mean. Thier like pirates sort of, except without tangible purpose.

I've had 2 bloody Mercuries wander into Presidents End and get blown to bits by the aliens packs. At 100K a pop, plus cargo and speed expansions it's eating my profits up something wicked. I wish there was a command whereby you stop transports from visiting dangerous territories.

I have my TP chained to thier systems for now. Sell for best price, no jumps allowed. Problem is, my station is a solar plant and no crystal fabs in da system. However, 360 crystals (what a SPP holds) lasts for almost 5 hours of realtime

I was soon to build my second station with a similer setup in Kingdoms end but my save game file was corrupted So, I'm back to my manual save from right after building the station. *sigh* seems to be working out for the best though. I did things a little differently and now I have 4 pirate ships plus a lot of expensive goods in pirate free territory on thier way to the shipyard.

Does X2 have dynamic economy?

Post Tue Feb 03, 2004 2:18 pm

Define "Dynamic Economy". If you mean do prices change and so on, yes, to a point. If supply in a given station excedes or does not meet demand the price goes down or up respectivly. Within a system you can change the entire economy by building a station that changes one or more goods into another. Supplies are consumed by you and thier prices go up. Supplies of he resource you produce go up and the price goes down.

OH! That's beautifull! I must try it out!

Does it have multiplayer over internet? That would be cool!

If it does have MP, does it work similar to Freelancer, with a Key generated and my profile saved in the server itself?

Post Wed Feb 04, 2004 7:50 am

Thats the key thing right there is mutiplayer if it does i'll buy it if not, then i think on it some more

Is X2 any good? I was thinking off buying it but... i don't know, your opinions, please?

Post Wed Feb 04, 2004 4:52 pm

No multiplayer. Multiplayer really wouldn't work in this game unless there was no player killing.

Post Wed Feb 04, 2004 4:55 pm

@Shotglass - I actualy have no clue weather or not it has mp but I doubt it. It would have to be a truncated version or pay per play or somthing. Imagine your corporate empire laid siege to as soon as you log off, or a few thousand people all trying to build stations in a finite universe.

@Orillian - The debate of that is primarily in the "New threat to freelancer" thread (or sumpn like that). To see what we've (Me, Griff, Mustang, maby others) been up to read through this thread. But in a word, Yes

Post Wed Feb 04, 2004 5:15 pm

Multiplayer may come out in the form of X2 Online Universe.....but I THINK it would be pay by month to play....kinda like eve
