[X3TC]teladi don't want profitsss?

Post by Sp@c3Ch!mp » Thu, 4. Feb 10, 17:08

Hi all,

I just decided to buy me a teladianium forge L in ministry of finance and place it in Trinity sanctum. I have 2 TS ships ready in that sector to start and buy some energy and get the fab running.
This all seems a good plan and all BUT there is not a single Teladi TL ship in the neighbourhood...
I guess I'll have to go back to Trinity sanctum and hire a Paranid one... Now the Nids will get even more 'haha I am better then u are' attitude.
:lol:

Yeah I notice that TL ships are sometimes off and about.

That is a pretty bad area for Pirates - be careful about the losses - it can be expensive around those Sectors - I have set self destruct on three or four stations there in the past few months....

That's because they're probably off delivering a GoD-mandated factory to some sector or another. Wait awhile and they should return.
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

Alternatively, they are WAY off the Ecliptic. I've seen them at about 40 km off in a few cases. Still, wait a bit. They'll show. Most of the time.

I still have never seen a TL deliver an NPC factory in TC, nor have I ever seen one leave its station even when I've set M5s to follow them and check up regularly. They did it all the time in Reunion, though. Do they use a jumpdrive now or something?

Well, there have been numerous instances of players capturing TL's with factories on board, the most famous of which was probably Nuklear-Slug's capture of a PBG forge. So yeah, they do deliver, and no, I don't think they use jumpdrives, otherwise players couldn't capture them in pirate space.

Busters and an Advanced...? - You are a brave man.
My M7's wouldn't go around that area of space, without Fighter and M6 cover, and maybe a Destroyer for good measure....
Heavens Assertion sends out lots of Pirate ships, they go for ships, stations, maul Captial ships.... Pirate Alley is what it is....

Yeah Well it is worth a risk (I hope...) The station is starting to make a profit and I have a few ships guarding the place.

and a boron m3 on the way when I get it kitted out. So all in all I don't think that it is that bad.
Also the paranids have a major military presence there for the moment.

Go to the right (which is where I currently am parking up ships, to re-supply) and there are almost empty Sectors to the right of Patriarchs Conclusion, one Boron, one Split - only a single station in either. Perfect for exploitation....I just build an Argon Trading Station there - Split and Boron Patrols are very heavy too.... :)
