X3 TC Xenon M&L PBE

Post by Laden Swallow » Sat, 18. Oct 08, 01:09

Is it a really good idea to have masses of enemies (particulary in 'full blown xenon invasion' missions) with PBEs. The PBE is a fun weapon ... but not when you are on the receiving end in your start ship.

I happen to agree, even in a Nova raider it's more than dificult. :)
Honestly, every time I see a Xenon M I shiver in fear. In numbers those things are nastier than a single battleship if you ask me. :roll:

I think it's good that the game allows you to bite off more than you can chew with the new mission system. The Universe is a dangerous place. I know which Xenon missions you speak of, but I just take other types of assignments while I'm saving up for a stronger ship. One really shouldn't expect the world from a starter ship ;)

It shouldn't take too long to save up for an M3 or M3+ -- I shouldn't get into too many specifics, but it looks like several of them have been given a shielding boost.
