Lottery Tickets

Post by Mustikos » Sun, 11. Jan 09, 06:29

I have not seen lottery tickets, and am not certain what the BBS is, bartering menu ?

Though I did hear a lottery anouncement and now I realize I didn't check the bartering menu.

If your playing TC, the lottery isnt in it. It used to be on the BBS in Reuinion, but that was removed in TC and replaced with the missions you pick up from comms (I personally loved the BBS in reunion, shame they removed it completely really).

lol.. well I searched the PDF manual for both and got nothing. I guess they might have wanted to mention the lottery tickets because I got a station announcement for them, although I guess newbies would think it was a random msg. Though it wasn't always the case in Reunion was it, you hear the msg but they aren't on that station.

If you are referring to the original one then you wont win but if you have the last bonus pack on X3R then you have one from Cycrow then there is one you CAN win but it is the one with 4 options of numbers and not 3 and the rewards are not just cash but also ships and I have won it once or twice I think just not sure right now.

Hehe, when I first started playing the game with X2 I used to buy every lottery ticket I saw in the hopes of someday ending up with umpteen billion credits.

Then I came on the forums and realised all it was doing was making me poor... :cry:

I used to buy all the lottery tickets and maps I came across in X3R; not in the hopes of winning but because it seemed to clear out a couple of slots on the BBS and then new missions would spawn.

I do that as well some times for the same reason :).

Once won 2,000 Credits, spent some on booze, some on weed and just squandered the rest!

Twice, actually, once for 650K or so, and once for the price of the ticket, 2500cr. :D
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

X4 is a journey, not a destination. Have fun on your travels.

in that respects it's a really good simulation of the real thing! :P
