How to get lots of hornets

Post by Tiberian Commander » Sun, 21. Dec 03, 21:09

I think this is best to do before continuing any missions and build up your fleet, well thats what I'm doing.

1/ Buy a Hornet staton from Paranid Prime and set it up as normal.

2/ Buy the best Ts's with the bigest cargo space mine is upgraded to 2000.

3/ Rename them as ( Hornet Storage 2000 ) the 2000 is the max of that Ts.

4/ Send them to your Hornet Station and when your station gets some, transfer them to your Ts that's on your station.

This is the way I do it and have it on seta mode and have built up about 1789 hornets so far, don't forget to now and then put some dosh in to the station.

I'am now ready to upgrade some of my ships, and put the ( Missile Fire Probability ) up. :twisted:

I also am thinking of buying another Hornet station. :D

Have you got other ideas you could post here :?:

I've been thinking about doing that, but hornets are kind of slow, I was going to go with wasp or silkworm. You find Hornets work ok?

Hornets are pretty useless against ships in X2 (thank god) a couple silkworms would probebly serve you better.

Yes well maybe but now I have got 20 Ts filled up to 500 each ship as storage, and each ship will keep my fleet from running out, when I need them.
All I'll do is just send for one and yes I know it's a bit much but hey that's me. :twisted:
