It's just a shame that I managed to bag myself a Xenon LX 2 hours later, which kind of made my earlier capture shine a bit less. Something with maybe a little better graphics and more starbase stuff, but otherwise more or less unchanged.Ī Pirate Nova Raider is a goddamn sweet ship. Hope they do an "X4" or at least make another game after this. I always liked making a nice starbase empire, though. Then you just hide in a corner and let the infinite-respawning ships fly up, bail, and capture them via remote. * Go buy a Battleship (one specific one was mentioned on the forums, forget which one it was, you could equip 2 shockwave cannons in most directions though, and the docking bay was under the ship, making it very quick to dock into) and fly into. * Go steal a Xenon LX, best ship in the game Ever seen a Xenon Q bail out while attacking Argon Prime? I lost interest after doing that, though.
Oh, and NPCs can cause other NPCs to bail. What's really fun is the "Bail System Extensions" mod, which changes how bailouts work, and allows you to cause capital ships to bail. Xtended makes it a bit stupid though, both because it's hard as fuck but also because there's so damned many pirates. I had almost forgotten about this game but now I have an irresitable urge to commandeer a pirate nova and blast the shit out of some other pirates. God daaaaamn, I wanted to make myself useful this summer. Alphas are light but fast, Betas are medium, Gammas are powerful but slow. As for weapons, it goes Impulse Ray Emitters < Particle Accelerator Cannons < Plasma Whatchamacallit < Phased Shockwave Generators (which to be honest are rather sucky because of their short range and the risks of friendly fire) < Photon Pulse Cannon, with Kyon Beam Emitters scaling from fighter to capital armorment and only equippable on Kha'ak ships, some Xtended ships, or those you've muddled with via editor. Certain ships can only equip ecrtain types of weapons, and certain weapon SLOTS can only equip ertain weapon types - EX, a battleship can equip gamma Photon Pulse Cannons on its left and right turrets, but only Betas on the front and rear ones - and alpha IREs are actually the crappiest guns around, so you're better off with the PACs your buster already has (provided they didn't get blown off, of course). Yeah, when both ships are docked at a station and you access the Docked Ships list and select one of yours there'll be a Transfer Cargo option somewhere on the menu, though you can do this in-space if you've got a transporter device on your own ship.ģ. The REAL money comes from capturing ships (and huge-ass freighters with the aid of a plugin).Ģ. It's not like Freelancer where you can get guarenteed work and to be honest the BBS is a pretty poor source of such, IMO. The problem is that 95% of the time the articles are just trash news articles about one stupid in-universe thing for another, and then when there IS a job there's a chance that it'll be something like taxi service or cargo ferrying or something low-paying or menial, and then there's the chance that you won't even have the right ship for the job since some ads demand you have a M5 or a TP or a TS or a ship carrying X-sized cargo. There's a BBS you can access in stations that'll have jobs listed.

I had room in my cargo hold, but it doesn't show up as an option when I go to equip weapons.ģ.5: What's the difference between all the weapons? I know that Mass Drivers ignore shields, but that's about it.ġ. So couple more questions (thanks for all the answers so far)ġ: Are there any side missions I can do for money/rewards?Ģ: Is there a way to swap weapons/shields/items from one ship to another?ģ: Still can't figure out why my Argon Buster can't equip an Alpha Ray Emitter. Thankfully I had just claimed another ship. Yeah, I learned all of that the hard way later when my ship has about 15% damage.
