X3:AP - Abandoned Xenon Corvette - any good?

Post by BugMeister » Thu, 29. Nov 12, 14:40

..found one floating in Unknown Sector NE of Getsu Fune
- needs substantial repairs to hull..
- only one (- not very careful) previous owner..

- is it worth fixing up and flying - it's got quite good-size cargo hold..?? :roll:

only have 2 Mercs trading at present - one is UT, and the other is ST in Friars Retreat

Humble Trader start.. :)

Not good. You shall not break the rules (i.e., better play the lottery to win something...) :D .

have done a fair bit of exploring with the starter Disco..
haven't touched the Terran Sectors yet, though..

40-odd hours into the game, so far.. :D

The Corvette has 10 Thorn Missiles and Kyon Emitters - I'm not familiar with those,
- assume the Xenon ships require hard-to-find ammo..??

- any tips? :)

Thats a Khaak corvette and not Xenon btw... They did pack a fair punch from memory. I recently found one in my AP game so no idea what its like from a player perspective!

I think the humble trader just got a little less humble.

heh, heh.. :roll:

'tis a spooky looking beast..!!

my traders need to work harder
the repairs are expensive..

- I like the idea of that large cargo hold - could be a nice "jumper" 8)

- how about upgrades, etc - it takes 5x200G shields..
- can I get those from the usual sources ??

"the repairs are expensive.. "

If your traders should work harder, so should you.
Hop out into your space suit, get out of your ship, and fire up the repair laser (unless that one is gone is AP, i don't know) ASAP!

PS: If there is no more repair laser, you should work harder to make more money to pay for the repairs.

Yeah all the shields and stuff can be got from the local markets.

It was rather brutal to go against, and from memory the Kyon's have a fairly good range on them!

I plan to max mine out, for the repairs im just doing it with the space suit :P tho am tempted to get the mod for Marine repairs :o

And yes the repair laser is still in AP!

Definately repair/keep it if it has weapons.
When traveling pause occasionally, look back and enjoy the moment again.

Sell the missiles though. Even the Thorn is a peashooter.

Kha'ak Corvette is a very powerful player ship. You will have to steal weapons for it, but you can buy normal shields and equipment.

Isn't it a ship that tend to explode when undocking, due to the moving parts ? :D ?

Only if you forget to undock by commanding it to "Idle".

Using any auto-pillock command should ensure safe undocking though, right?

yeah, It's docked at the Argon Dock in Getsu Fune for now..
it was a bit strange watching it's approach to the docking arm
.. I thought for a minute, it would collide.. :o

have swapped the Disco for a Nova, temporarily - better weapons and cargo space..
need to buy another trader - both Mercs are now UT's at Level 20

- keep on space-truckin' :lol:

That one is a keeper and you will differently need it for some reverse engineering, I hope I can grab one, Khaak stuff is always so tuff to get... :P

Well, that's why reverse engineering it is probably not that useful. Yes, you could build as many Kha'ak corvettes as you wanted if you did that, but how are you going to equip them? Kyons don't exactly fall off trees!

I just got round to fixing mine up... you can't RE it or sell it at any shipyard either I noticed... the rest of the weapons loadout for it is dotted around the galaxy though... If you want to keep it I would not trust it with the auto pillock since you wont get another one or another weapons loadout for it if any get destroyed...
