How to cheat?

Thereshallbewings seems useless

when you ask about cheating you are really saying you dont have the patience to claw your way to wealth and reputation the Hard way too much slog too much grind. However never fear just chose the terran commander start after a few fairly easy mission you will have one of the best corvette ships in the game and several million credits you can use to buy your first few factories. Enjoy!

Its not even that difficult to succeed in this game. If you blast your way to the end with a couple M1's and a complex then you've skipped the game. Hooray, might as well have just pressed an 'I Win' button for all the effort it took and satisfaction it gives.

Exactly...the journey is the reward imho.
Doesn't hurt to read a few guides beforehand since the learning curve is rather steep in this one.
(And knowing what the Hub plot requires you to do beforehand is worth a lot.)

As for cheating, there are so many ways available...

In-Game exploits like OOS Nividium Mining or cherrypicking 4 Star Fighting Marines at the Hub.

The ScriptEditor with which you can basically do anything. (As long as one does not mind the modified tag and being locked out of Achievements.)

Using AutoHotKey to write yourself a script to deactivate and reactivate SETA every 5 minutes and let the game run overnight to boost your Trade Rank (and push both your CPU and energy bill hard.)

And for the cheesiest of Achievement Hunters there is always CheatEngine, allowing you to manipulate your money, wares, freight space, ship speed, you name it and all without getting a modified tag.

But yeah, I bet the game is much fun with an M5 at 750 km/h and a cargo volume of 15 Million to unload the whole HUB materials in one go...

Old men who are too busy to spend hours moving up cheat. I have played hundreds of hours cheating and the game is still kicking ass and is beautiful to look at.

Just bear in mind that cheating in credits so you can buy whatever you want as well as cheating in the reputation in order to get access to ships/stations greatly reduces the gameplay value of X3TC.

After Clicking on this Link, I Went to the Web Site, and read the Text, and saw the Videoe on Adding Money to the Character.
When I get into the "Script Editor" I look for the Script "Money Script", I do not see that Script on the List. Many Names on there are Cryptic Names, but none of them even Looks like it reffers to Money...?

Money, everybody wants money, but have no idea on how to get it. It's all the stuff that isn't money that gets you more money. Raise rep & the other ranks so the missions pay more, a lot more and figure out how to do the generic missions. Use the mission money to plow more resources into raising ranks and build your empire.

Most people push bulk energy cells thinking they'll make money that way (a big NOOO), and accidentally raise economic rank (that they never take advantage of) and a very small amount of rep (which they should max out asap). The game will be max grind if you play that way.

You don't need money, you need the _not_ money. Money is the reward for doing that.

From what I have read thus far, That is Not What this Thread is Asking about.....

hI ITS SO DAMN EASY TO USE THE SCRIPT EDITOR
1 Make sure you type Thereshallbewings correctly its case sensitive now that you have changed your name you should be able to access the script editor Make damn sure you have watched a few utube vids and know what you are doing if you mess it up you will have big problems good luck

Oh ps money is easy peasy to make without cheating Reputation is a hell of a grind i use the cheats myself to have FUN making a teladi carrier fly at 300km ps or spawning a Vallhalla so i can give flying it a try its great fun but if you want the sense of achievement or if your a noob for Gods sake dont cheat you will just be a clueless fool with a billion credits no skill no experience and no idea what you are doing or why this is one of the greatest games ever made dont ruin it for yourself

[NomadTR]

what's with all the dudes that say cheating is for noobs ? You don't use cheats to play the game properly. You use the cheats to see what the game has to offer in late game scenarios.

Egosoft never patched X3TC to remove freight-cloning so AFAIC it's fair to use. Same with Marine-cloning via the Xenon HUB - it's patched in AP but still there in TC - so use it!

The vanilla mods I have loaded which allow for capital ship docking at my HUBs, reduce the size of the Aldrin asteroid and tubeless HUBs don't give an unfair advantage - and anyway the game stays vanilla so fine! Once DiD is completed (just managed for only the 3rd time two weeks ago) and I can save games as normal then YES I use the All Seeing Eye to locate certain wares and ships - still vanilla after reloading!

"Still vanilla" is the creed to live by - ask my wife after 24 years of marriage!

LOTS OF FOLKS USE CHEATS BECAUSE THEY ARE STUPID OR LAZY THEN THEY COMPLAIN THAT A GAME IS BORING oops sorry damn caps lock complain a game is boring or too easy when they have never played the game lol for me the most fun part of the game is the start flying around in a totally garbage ship trying not to die and scavaging missiles to buy your first real ship thats fun yes i know where i can go to claim really good ships for free but i dont do it because i want to achieve everything by my own smarts

[rubyismycat]

Thereshallbewings its case sensitive make sure you know what you are doing before you mess with the script one mistake and your going to get a hard crash on your system
