In how many game days did you get it, I cannot believe you can get 600mill within the 5 game days in which such actions tend to come out.

BurnIt! Brought my avarice!

I am on game day 6 and I have 600 mil and a capital ship and a quickly growing military.

its definitly possible to make money that fast, but it does take practise. My auction is still going on though. Somewhere around 150 million.

The auction starts around 5 days in IIRC and lasts for at least 5 days beyond that. I easily earned the money with just UTs and XI missions, no stations and I had 250 million left over to start station building with (paid 615 million).

Should I start making money sharpish if I want my own sector?

Fastest way is by looting, and BBS. With UT's to keep the steady stream of income while you look for new oppertunities.

I'm in my 2nd game and have won Avarice also.
Bidding started in Day 7. I was allowed to bid in Day 9. I bid the starting figure of 615,000,000, and at 9 Days 4 Hours, won it with the first bid.

When I started a new game, I capped as many ships as possible, and jumped into Xenon Sectors in a Buster and tried to kill as many L/M/N fighters as I could. This increases your rank considerably in the early game.

I then set up some ST's, UT's and bought as many SPP M that I could as well.
BBS missions also.

When I first read about Avarice, I also thought it was not possible to earn that much money, but after playing the game for 400+ hours in my first try and reading this wonderful forum, my second game start was easily 10 times better than my first. In my first game though, too much time spent Learning instead of Earning!

I've been playing X3 for several days on Goner Witness and I am wondering about how to buy this sector, does a message come up or do you bid from the BBS?

bent1ck · Post by **bent1ck** » Wed, 7. Mar 07, 05:43

A BBS message will state that bidding has commenced. A couple game days later you will be invited to bid from another BBS message.

Well done Hivemind, i like the idea of owning my own sector, and loading it with Illegals and weapon complexes. I dont think ill have enough money though!!

So instead, ill just load everything into an underpopulated safe sector belonging to the Argon.

i no wat you mean i was almost bankrupt when i got avarice, but noting i can't get back.....just means more factory production and pirate hunting

I must admit that I cheated to get Averice as I started to loose the option to bid for it. I had every intention of earning the money to get it but my funds were still about 400 million short when I started to loose the option to bid. I cheated myself in enough to start the bidding but in the end I bought it for the 900 million I cheated in. No more money cheats for me now though

I had fourteen twentyfifth level UT's running around with *modified* 250MJ shields and 142m/s speed with all the extras and they only pulled a million every hour

I'm thinking, even with the *LV modified* game I started last night, I'm not going to pay over 600M credits for a sector that's about as useful as empty space; which is to say, not entirely useless, just worthless. Perhap's if you could only build where you buy it would be worth it, but it is just a deed and there are plenty of empty sectors with resources in them; something Avarice doesn't have

I own Lust.

heh..i renamed avarice 'legends home' when i bought it... but to be honest... i haven't really found any real perks to owning it ? there's nowt to stop you from just building in it anyway and saving 690million credits..

danielhumphries50 · Post by **danielhumphries50** » Wed, 7. Mar 07, 22:47

yeh and it's better if you don't buy it and just build there becase that teladi trading station can repair and stations you have in the sector but when you own it you can't

I have roughly the following on complete loops:

8 or 9 XL SPPs
45 L distilleries
15 + L agro factories supplying secondary resources
20 UTs

I make over 1/2 billion per game day without any XI missions etc.
