X-Tension - Egosoft - YouTube

I've mastered this game many years ago, long before X2: The Threat was built. But my X-Tension 1.4 Version had a few flaws and bugs that made the game awkward. Until the X-Tension 2.1 version came, I wasn't able to buy the 125MW Shield and TL ship. And the profit for using the Crystals was screwed up.

Secret tips:-
First of that the main important tips of this game is gaining revenue and avoiding destorying friendly target or making
the Pirate Base and friendly stations RED raging angry. But personally, having a startup with a Argon Buster M4 Interceptor isn't enough as it takes a LOT of time to regain reputation and profit. If you are new to X-Series games from Egosoft, the you best of starting with X Beyond The Frontier to get to grips with the basics in the X-Universe. However the only thing that X-BTF game has that the newer X-Games doesn't have is the SETA Boost Extension, and the Extra Turbo Boost by pressing the TAB key, but DON'T use the boost if you have NO Shields. The only downside is X-BTF is no starmaps or addional important information. But in this game this maybe the game for you to build your empire.

And one final thing there is a secret Options menu, simply press [Shift + O] ingame and look at the options. Now you can increase the SETA power to 10x if you like but when you are travelling in a TL or M5 ship it is likely you will crash and ruin your reputation and Police License. Remember save your game mainly everytime when you are not on a mission when docking and try to make multiples saves as you progress. DON'T dock at a station when you are STRAFING or you will get that momentium bug when you exit the dock and crash into the tunnel exit.
