X3 while you wait

[SilentAssassin82]

I've always been a fan of X3 Reunion aswell as X3 TC. Brilliant games, i can't say i ever had any problems with the trading system either. My little traders always found thiere way. You need to have all the right upgrades though if i remember correctly. I always found it best not to have your enemies set to be the same for them as it is for you, or the little buggers just go trying to attack everything thats red to them. It's also a good idea to have a battle ready ship with enough energy cells and a jump drive, ready to jump to your traders position in a minutes notice if it gets attacked. Otherwise you go through transports like you go through energy cells. I learned this the hard way.

Complex hubs are good fun. But eventually i stopped using them and just started having a couple of traders going back and forth to my station with the products. Most of the time if you use a complex hub anyway, there's always one of your stations that can't keep up with production anyway, so it halts till it gets it's materials.

Great games, so much to do in them. But why they never created a multiplayer enevironment i don't know.
