X,Y,Z map coordinates?

[Colmaniac]

Hi, I cant figure out how to find x,y,z on the map. I have a set of coordinates x-274k z 258k y-6k

How do I find that on the map? I have found xyz markers on the map screen but no numbers.

Sory, this is not X3 m8 :)
Remove "orders and assighnments".
Order to move to destination on "Flat Map" (X+Y coordinates)
Unpause game, for ship to set of, and "blue icon" of ship to apear on end destination.
Now you can pause again.

Focus on "end destination icon" in sector.
Using right "Mouse button" you turn the Sector Map by 90 degrees. (Z-axis coordinates)
Keep an eye on the "end destination" icons, while doing the 90 degrees, for Depth.
Now you can move the "end destination" icon, with left mouse button, to the
depth (Z-axis) position.

Turn the Map back to original "flat". To correct the slightly changed position on
X,Y axis.

Now your boarding ships will fly axactly to the spot behind the ship you want to board :D

you can also make it easy by commanding them to "fly to" or, "follow object" :)

What coordinates are those for? Abandoned ship?
There is supposedly an abandoned Rapier in game somewhere according to the patch notes.

yea abandoned ship,, unlike when this game 1st came out I found ships everywhere, also had missions to recover them too, but instead of returning them just sold them lol, I been lucky to get some ships though the different faction campaigns and through some bailing out. I had to use google to find the abandoned ships, but only give sectors and the xyz coordinates, I just hope they add proper map tools to the game :)

Yes I miss the coordinate entry of x3 myself. There is a thread on the Egosoft forum with in game screen shots of the current known static abandoned ships.
