X3TC System Override Software?

Post by Cursed Ghost » Sun, 18. Oct 09, 15:19

hi all

X3 Reunion had a really useful little gadget that you could get from the pirates that allowed you to cap ships without needing to take a space walk the system override software and the signature scrambler to hide it from police scans

is there such an upgrade in X3TC because I really hate taking space walks to capture ships its so bloody slow and cumbersome and hanging around in dangerous sectors in ya space suit isn't something you really want to be doing

so my question is if there is such an upgrade where do I get it from and how to I get it because I don't see it listed under the wares for sale in pirate bases which is where id expect to find it

It is sold in some pirate bases in TC (but not all) and in

Show
Duke's Haven, where you can also get the Software Signature Scrambler to hide it from the police

Note that it is Illegal, so expect an occasional scrap with the fuzz, unless you want to eject 620k credits worth of software!

That is what the scrambler is for. It will not then be found when you are scanned.

Get a fighter to bail, then very carefully pilot your ship to a very close range of the empty ship. Then just select "claim" from hotkey or menu as you normally would on a spacewalk.

I find system override software fairly hard to use since the range is minimal just like spacewalking. But if you are a precise pilot of a maneuverable ship then I can see how it might be more useful.

Range is dependent on ship you're in.

Its like 1KM or so in a capital.
Just saying it forward: I give everyone 2 posts to make good, in context posts(proper english, as always, is optional). After that I'm ignoring what you have to say in that thread that's directed to what we previously were talking about.

That's good to know, I don't pilot capitals too often. Still, 1km in a big ship that doesn't handle well might not be all that easy either.
