Ships that don't require Notoriety.

Post by Clock_Work » Sat, 20. Apr 13, 02:49

I just started Albion Prelude today and I'm loving it. I started the Argon Trader (or something like that) start. The one where you get a mercury and discoverer. So I sold the mercury at the argon prime shipyard and booked it straight to Seize Well where i got a nice 12 million on the stock market. I also got some trade rank which is nice. I now want to buy a station and start building my empire. The problem is that I have no reputation at all!

The Argon Federation will only sell me another discoverer which won't really help me at all. Also this Discoverer I'm stuck in, although it has full equipment, it has no weapons. So doing assassin missions is out of the question. Even with IRE's unless I'm supposed to assassinate space flies I will fail.

Does anyone know where I can buy a nice fighter or TS class ship so I can start to gain some reputation? Money is not really a factor.

That is because you have not traded much or done any missions etc to gain the ranks you would have had,if you had obtained that amount of credits the "normal" way.

So go earn your ranks.

An hour or two doing missions for a race will easily make most ships/stations purchasable to you. :)

Check your Pilot information window for your current racial ranks. Here's an index of all the ranks for all the races: http://www.x3wiki.com/index.php/Reputation

With a bit of work for the Teladi, you can obtain a Kestrel, which is better than the Disco in almost every regard. You can mount PACs on it, so you can whittle down anything M3 or smaller. and possibly get a bail

For now, obtain a Cargo Life Support System and do some passenger missions. That should gain the notoriety you need.

You can also choose NOT to shoot at the Pirates or the Yaki for the time being, then locate the Yaki shipyard and do some shopping ;)

Yes! That's what I was looking for Atkara. I haven't shot at the pirates yet... cause I have nothing to shoot at them with. What sector is the Yaki shipyard in?

Is there a Yaki shipyard in Reunion?
Not played that for a long time.

In TC/AP it is in Senator's Badlands.

Well that's not as bad of a trip as I expected. I hope the Paranid like me enough to let me through Paranid prime. Otherwise Its gonna be quite the way to go around.

Thank you for your help gentlemen! Much love.

Isn't it in a dead end? How were you planning to go around?

I would expect by taking the shorter route that invoulves less Paranid sectors? Just my take on it.

IIRC, there is no Yaki SY in Reunion. It was added in TC, or mods.

There is no way to get to Senator's Badlands without first passing through Paranid space. You have to go through Empire's Edge to get to it.

Yaki don't do a TS BTW, the closest they have is a TM.

Shortest route through Paranid space is from Argon space (Emperor Mines - Paranid Prime - Empire's Edge), so if you have a rep issue I'd suggest getting a fast M5 with a jump drive and buying a TM once you get there so you can jump your M5 and your new M3 out in the TM (bear in mind the Yaki may not have any SPP so you'll need to take enough energy for the return jump in the M5)

Pretty sure he's asking about AP

You CAN avoid going through Paranid Prime. If you go from Split Fire South all the way to Emperors Ridge then go straight West to Savage Spur and then again South to Senators badlands. Its a much longer way but you don't get shot at if you don't have the rep :wink:
