    I think (but haven't checked) you can target the engines or other components at range by zooming in with Y – if they're bigger than a certain number of pixels they're clickable. I think.

    I love the names of your stations. I am just getting into X4 but I played Elite Dangerous and some others. I chose this game because I liked Port Royale 2, actually. I'm following your Newbie starting guide and your Early to Midgame money by fighting (aka Money from Shooting) guide. I love how you offer non-standard solutions (exploits? nah…) to the routine game.

    You may wish to leave a squad of non-player capital ships to blockade a gate while the station is being built.

    This might be a dumb question, but which model exactly improves reverse thrust? None of them in the list mention that.

    Yo!!! If you run out of Advanced Satellites, you can always go and capture the Freelance Katana's in the Pioneer regions. These bad boys have 100 AS per ship captured!! AAAAAND they are easy to capture. Good hunting/money making.

    Build in Segaris (Close to Gaian Prophecy Gate), in Saturn 1 (between Saturn 2 and Jupiter gates), In asteroid belt (close to Mars Gate) and lastly in Pluto (Close to Oort Cloud gate) a Silicon Carbide x 12 + Computronic Substract x 4 + Mettalic Microlattice x 1 or 2 production and just watch your wallet go Boom. Start small, Silicon Carbide x 4 + Computronic Substract x 1 + Mettalic Microlattice x 1 and grow as you need it. Unlike building a Wharf you only need a few mils to get started, which you can get by collecting the abandoned ship across the verse.

    For the Pluto Factory you'll need Energy cell, build a small Energy cell factory in Branan's triumph (close to the Neptune's Gate) and have an S/M ship ferry EC to your factory.

    Loving your work big fella and belly laughing through you commentary ๐Ÿ˜‚ How, in the name of all that is holy, do you keep track of all those ships and production stations? It makes my head spin thinking about it… On the plus side, it's the only game I'll ever need as I don't have time for any other, (or living in the real world apparently) ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚

    I like where I don't have to do a damn thing to make endless credits$$$๐Ÿค‘…. And after all the missions are completed… Then that's when my real plan goes into action!!! Then I will kill two birds with one stone… My strategy is that whoever I intend to go to eventually go to war with… Let's say the h o p & split.. is to buy and make fleets with their ships… I will be using their assets and resources and personnel which will deplete their resources to the point where they don't have enough.. to make war against the argon or any other human race!… Oh and no humans died… So I guess that would be 3 birds with one stone! ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜‚

    IDK about most but I would enjoy this series even more if one would see more of you playing. then a summarized version.

    With all the ships around the production station it looks like they got good defensive abilities. What I would wonder is if it is a good idea to put a couple of defenses platforms to prevent some random ship getting in and causing damage before help can arrive.

    For the mining distance. If you to to the information tab of the individual mining you, you should see the "max gate distance" for gathering and selling at the bottom. Since it is assigned to the station, the max value should come from the station manager's skill level rather than the captain's skill level. It is possible that because (if) you initially configured those miners to only mine in the current sector, it using that setting instead of the max value from the station.

    I'm not 100% sure about all that as it might have changed since I last checked. I remember being able to configure the max distance on in station settings before but I don't seem to be able to do that now.

    This isn't exactly related but there is a mod "Improved mining operations" that you might want to check out. I have only been using it for a bit so I'm not sure how much better it is than normal.

    And also, rather than having miners attached to your stations, you can create separate "mining stations" in, or at least closer, to the mineral/gas fields. A mining station is simply a station with docks and solid/liquid storage, it probably costs less than a 1 million for one. Of course, this mainly becomes important if you run out of resources within 1-2 sectors of your stations.

    When you are ship hunting, you could assign a ship to loot the drops after you finish killing everything. Edit: you did set one doing that at your crossfire control center.

    I'm enjoying watching this series but this game looks awfully grindy so I don't think I will actually play it.

  • @Magnum.Bloodstone

    X4 Tip: I give my stations a short code at the beginning of their name, like [FS01] and [FS02], then any ships assigned to that station, I append [FS01] or whatever to the end of their name. That way, when a ship inevitable gets destroyed, I easily know which station needs the replacement. My HQ doesn't use [ and ] so it's at the top of the list, and [PD01] Portal Defence stations are late in the alphabet so they are at the end of the list.

    You kind of sounded like Emperor Palpatine with the โ€œalmost fully operational Death Star (defense platform)โ€ commentary at the @21:00 mark. That poor Type K captain probably had a fish face and was yelling โ€œitโ€™s a trap!โ€

    If you have modules on a station you don't need anymore, you can just deconstruct them. You get a 100% refund on all the construction materials which goes right back into the station's build storage, which can be used to build something else you want.

    I wonder what kind of name Francis has for these kinds of cross-shaped defense platforms. Killer Crosses? Icons of Obliteration? Crucifixes of Quarantining?
