But don't get your hopes up it all comes from perusing the stock exchange while traveling.

I now have 40 million credits (up from 20 when I originally posted this). I'll let it run a bit, and in the meantime I'll scout for sectors with a high demand for ore, but I think I'll have to improve my relations with the Teladi before I can follow pamme's suggestion. How much time will it take for them to reach that second CAG rank? I have four Mercury CAGs running the complex, and I still have to manually order them to sell the stuff, as they haven't leveled up enough to do it themselves. Also, is it true that the 'only sectors with satellites' command only works with Advanced Satellites?Īs for now, I have completed two NPC missions to build weapon factories in Antigone Memorial, but they don't offer much for ore, and the nearby equipment dock has a full stock of their products. I'll program a few universe traders, like thecrazing suggested, but right now I am still placing satellites here and there (universe traders need these to function, right?). Especially in M148 where the local SPP just. I will keep karmavorous's ideas in mind until I have more credits: building self-sufficient complexes isn't within my means right now. Wow, these are great responsees, I really appreciate everyone's input. However, production exceeds regional demand, and automated traders bring in lacklustre lucre.Ģ) Should I sell ore or build stations that could use it? What should I produce? I embarked on a long journey to the Argon core worlds, where I built an ore mining complex in Antigone Memorial. This turned out to be a very bad idea, as the sector is under constant siege (before I kept my lasertower on monitor, the Terrans would send two Osakas in as soon as I left), so my Mercury gets destroyed whenever it tries to buy energy cells from Nyana's Hideout.ġ) Does anyone here have trade routes that pass through Omicron Lyrae? What kind of escort do you need? I built a farm in Omicron Lyrae, where there is a high demand for delexian wheat. Since it is pretty monotonous I have decided to be an industrialist. It is so simple and safe (I buy stocks at minimum and sell when they increase by 4-10 credits) it pretty much discourages me from doing anything else. I now have about 20 million credits, which I have mostly accumulated from gambling on the stock exchange for an hour or two. So far, the stock exchange is the only truly profitable activity I have undertaken. It's my first time playing X3 (Albion Prelude), I've logged over 50 hours on an Argon Peacekeeper start (I now fly a Centaur), and I'm trying to accumulate wealth so I can eventually have my own fleet.
