Rise to power?
What are your usual steps when you start from scratch? Do you buy first TS, do some trade runs, then you buy Trade Command mk3 or set a cheap factory somewhere, then you buy TM, and then TL...

Re: Rise to power?
I have no "usual", because I did start each of X3R, X3TC, and X3AP exactly once. With approximately same routine though:
1. Get Dragon
2. Get Raptor
3. Become Xtreme in Combat
4. Get a billion
5. Do plots
6. Start to trade

Applies to all X3 titles where you start with a single weak ship and some credits. Steps I mentioned in my first post are usually the ones I replicate, now I play FL and I'm looking for a new way of dealing with rise to power procedure

Ah, generic X3 starter gameplay then. That may be where we differ in vanilla playstyle then because I quite like the early days struggle and so tend to play for steady and modest growth; I lose a bit of interest and immersion when huge amounts of money, equipment, complexes and fleets are available to me. I do like claiming other factions' ships though ...

Re: Rise to power?
Since the question probably was on how to initially get from 0 to (in my case Dragon ... and most of the other stages), my method was:
Generic missions and picking up loot. At some point I did got a freighter, by buy or bail, but that too was mostly for collecting loot, for some missions that did require TS, and minimally for acting as MORT.
