![]() Anyone who is a fan of this series should be pretty excited, since Egosoft really hasn’t been able to deliver, since. I have well over 500 hours in X3: Terran Conflict (the previous expansion) alone.Īs it turns out, this is a fan-made project that started around 5 years ago, and was recently completed under the supervision of Egosoft. Seeing this come up on my feed was stunning. X3 Albion Prelude was the final expansion released a full 10 years ago. ![]() Often touted as an offline EVE-like, it’s a dense, open-world space conquest game where you can play anything from a simple trader, to a galactic warlord. ![]() X3 is easily one of the greatest space games ever made. My plan is, to find some good things to trade using the discoverer, then sell the ship and use the mercery until I get enough money to get more ships.So I was working away at my Monster Hunter Rise review, when I suddenly happened across an announcement on Steam: Unveiling X3: Farnham’s Legacy. First I jump into my discoverer to scout the nearby sectors. I start the game with 2 ships, a Mercury (Argon freighter) and a discoverer (Argon scout ship). This series will contain quick updates on how I progress in my game, it may contain spoilers later on but for now, it can serve as a guide on how to get started in X3: Albion prelude as well as X3: Terran conflict (This starting scenario is pretty simular in both games). I feel that this is the easiest start, and I think I can take whatever route I want further into the game. Despite all of this, I want to give this a try, using the same start and see where I end up. Other reasons to play TC is that AP doesn’t have as many plots as TC does. I checked some forum posts when I started playing the game, and most people recommended starting with TC until you know more about the game. I want to have some of the new features available in Albion prelude. I’ve been playing x3: Terran conflict for a few weeks now as a trader. I spend about 9K on trading system extension, a better scanner and engine and rudder upgrades. I decided to spend some of it on upgrades and save most of it for trading. Now we move to the shipyard And sell our Discoverer. When done scouting my universe map looks like this. Takes some time, but will save time later.Īfter scouting for a while, I realized I should’ve upgraded my scanner, A duplex scanner would’ve helped. ![]() I proceed to scout out the surrounding sectors with my Discoverer. Once I’ve found the shipyard I order my Mercury there to wait for me to finish scouting. I start journey going through the south gate, since I know there’s a shipyard in Argon Prime From playing TC. Our universe map doesn’t look like much yet, time to do some scouting. We also order our Discoverer to go to the same place. We can do this in space, but I decided to dock to change ship. The first thing we want to do is to get into our discoverer. When the game starts, you find yourself in space in your Mercury freighter. My goal now is to get to about half a milion before I decide what to do next. I made a good profit buy had to travel around to get rid of them. While in Home of light I buy some Cohonas, but not sure this was worth it. Now it’s time for some more upgrades, I get the rest of the engine tuning and rudder optimization and head off to Home of light for the Best buys and best selling locators. I keep distributing ore and energy to this and the surrrounding sectors for quite some time, and quickly get up to 100K. In Herron’s Nebula I find Ore for 50 and decide to go with that instead: I can sell it in the same sector for more than double the price. I see nothing is produced in argon Prime, so I decide to head towards Power Circle. Since I now have the Trading system extension I can quickly check prices without docking at a station. Note: In TC you have to go to the equipment docks for these upgrades. I leave myself with about 36K, you could probably buy more upgrades right away and trade other stuff, but I want to be able to buy a full load of energy cells. At this point I do some upgrading to my ship Duplex scanner, some engine tuning, trading system extension. After selling my discovery I’m left with about 45K and the Mercury.
