Re: X3: Terran Conflict, like Smugglers on Steroids
ok so for those of you that are still playing:
still got 3 factories, going to get my fourth soon. i'm wanting to make as much of my own resources as i can before i start on anything else.
2. after i bought my super fraiter my boron one, i encountered a problem. the problem was that as soon as i tried to undock with certain factories notably the low yield shield fabs, it would crash. as soon as i undocked my ship would explode. luckily i've been talking to a very helpful member of the egosoft forums. it's a bug. because of the sheer size of the vessel it doesn't always let you manoeuvre. so here is what you do. if you encounter this and you need to undock but can't the sollution is the following, follow the below instructions exactly and you'll be flying again as soon as possible: note, the below instructions apply only when docked and are in the main menu. by that the standard menu you get once you have docked and done nothing else. so if you have made your trade for example press escape and you'll be in the main menu.
1. go to landed ships. shortcut key is l.
2. arrow to your vessel. this is the top ship.
3. press c for communication/command console.
4. go to navigation. this is the first menu you don't need to move your cursers.
5. arrow to dock at... this is where you tell the ship where you wish it to go.
6. you will first be presented with the universe map. if you wish to stay in the same sector just press enter as soon as this comes up. it highlights the sector you are already in.
7. arrow to the instalation you wish to fly too and press enter.
you should be done then. the ships computer should then say "docking granted autopilot activated." something like that anyway.
what actually happens is that temporarily the ability to crash is disabled until you get passed the station. then it reverts. you should now be flying.
yes this frustrated me for quite a while. at first i thought there was something in front of the factory. but there wasn't. i sent my save to this person that has really been helping me also with menu descriptions as well and they told me about this bug. because there was nothing blocking my way at the factory.
anyway hope that helps some of you.
