Another tip that is not obvious: You can save a lot of money when building stations, on top of the estimated price to buy all resources, there is a bar that says "Global price modifier" if you lower it the station will attempt to buy the items for cheaper, it may take a bit longer but it saves a lot of money on the long run. You can even adjust how much you are willing to pay for each item individually, and even forbid the station from buying the items from other factions.

My channel wouldn't have grown with out it so I owe you and your team a thanks as well. You guys are doing amazing work

Some of the starts will have you start off as hostile with certain factions without making it obvious at first. (The lucky winner start for example starts you off hostile to the CSA wich isnt mentioned in the start text blurb). Some factions like the CSA (wich under any other circumstances would be a great place to set up shop) are friendly with certain pirate clans, in case of the CSA its the VLS (Velarian syndicate) This means that the faction will just look the other way when pirates attack your freighters. Worse yet: You will loose standing with the CSA if you attack these "friendly" pirates in their sectors, wich is hilarious when the known pirate calls sector security to report you for defending your own freighters from their agression. Also they sell capital ships to these friendly pirate clans... wich makes CSA shipyards very dangerous cause they can pop out Pirate dreadnought cruisers who will make quick work out of all your M and L freighters that might want to sell stuff to the shipyard (shipyards are some of the best customers since they burn through resources rather fast so your freighters will hang around them alot if you set them to auto trade) Hence why even thought canonically the galactic empire and ascendancy are the "bad guys", they are the only ones who are hostile to ALL pirate factions and thus have some of the most secure sectors out there for your freighters. Pirate stations usually spawn in neutral sectors, if you destroy the station/s present and lay claim to the sector yourselfe via an admin center module on a station, they will stop respawning in that sector. This method can help you make a region of space alot safer by claiming most neutral sectors in that region, wich is not a bad idea since the most resource heavy systems can be found in these neutral areas of the map. However: Their pirate stations are armed to the teeth and will melt even L ships. I found that you either need a large fleet of L ships or atleast one XL ships to deal with the bigger pirate stations. Yuzhan vong however will allways have a few stations in resource rich sectors on the galactic map no matter who owns the sector. They will spawn fighter craft that will attack your miners. These fighter craft can take down M class miners but L class miners are pretty much out of their league. If you destroy a Vong station the vong presence in the sector will end. HOWEVER: The station will respawn eventually in another sector. So while you can get rid of them localy, you can never get rid of them completly. Also attacking one of their stations will spawn a huge number of fighters (but the stations themselves are unarmed) so you should atleast bring a L class destroyer class ship + a large enough fighter escort to deal with the threat. Speaking of fighters: Basic TIE fighters/bombers/interceptors are indeed trash tier, but are dirt cheap and can be spammed. Mix them in with other fighter craft as force multipliers. While they have no standing power and their travel speed is abysmall, you can easaly fill up an entire capital ships hangars with them. Their lasercannons hit just as hard as any other fighter craft.. its just that they implode the moment the enemy pays any attention to them. Getting some starting capital: I found that the random missions pay a pittying amount of money and that they mostly serve as a way for reputation grind An easier way to get some starting cash is just like in the base game, going into asteroid fields and hunting for crystals! This can quickly give you a small cash boost to kick your career off and get you enough money to buy miners and build a simply energy cell station. (small energy cell stations are good for a steady trickle of income, just remember to assign one of your own freighters as a trader to the station so you dont have to rely on people comming to you to buy) Though egosoft somewhat nerfed crystal hunting so you might want to load one or two extra mods... i personaly use mods that make crystals more visible and remove the crystal cooldown for high value crystals.

It's insane how I was properly struggling to learn the base game and it's the tips and tricks video for a mod that taught me loads about the base game

Always good to see more guides on how to get into this game. I don't find it very confusing but I've been playing X since Beyond The Frontier in 99. But a lot of people ask how to start the game, what to do. You did a good job in explaining the special case of the Interworlds mod but most of it is applicable to the main game.

I have nearly 300 hours and have started 5 or so scenarios (Also like CSA start), I know how to build stations that do eventually start earning money, but i'm still completely lost. I'll be watching your lets plays for ideas but a dedicated video certainly be appreciated :)

Patrol missions are the best early on as long as you have SETA equipped.

I didnt recommend patrol because the SETA drive in Star Wars Interworlds is EXTREMELY buggy and destroys fps.

I think the long range scanner goes around 300km ish. Also its 360 degrees so you dont actually need to be looking in the direction of a station for them to ping, or at least thats what Boso said.

!HELP! !!!I've encountered a bug and was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it!!!! i have completely lost the ability to go to the map and give any of my ships orders. i have lost the ability to give commands or set my ship guidance completely. i checked the hotkeys and they seem fine, i restored them to default my loading the default loadout, and i even reassigned keys but nothing works. i deleted all the files and reinstalled the game, and i can do it in the vanilla game just fine but the moment i load up interworlds, i lose te ability to give orders. anyone know how to fix this?

You mentioned a dreadnaught mod? Is there a link? Can you link the mods you use, or that you recommend?

Unfortunately it's a folly of the game that uses single core dependency. There are a few tricks that will gain a few fps but not much. The big one is going through filters in the map and turning off visible commands and others like it in the map filters. Other than that it's kind of all we can do Unfortunately

kind of funny that you're telling us how to dock and croutch as if it would be a tutorial for the actual base game... dont you think people have figured that out before they get into the hustle of modding the game?

Just a bit of constructive criticism, I've watched your videos and I love your enthusiasm for star wars stuff but consider there are a fair amount of people that have played x4 and are looking for tips and tricks , for interworlds , if you wanna do a have you never played x4 intro ... cool and do it and title it so , but x4 swi guide this is not. Or I'll never know after I spent the first 13 minutes of keyboard shortcut tips , you reading the SWI intros like I'm unable to , and how you personally set up your keyboard. After I quit and im not telling you this to make you feel bad as I said , watched plenty of your stuff even into the xcom start wars gambit and I wish you luck ... which is why I'm pointing this out to you when many people just won't say it and stop watching your videos. Good luck man and maybe I'll tune in again sometime
