Let's Play X3TC Part 1:

I take my scout ship Discoverer and explore the nearby sectors, while controlling the transport ship Mercury remotely, looking for opportunities to buy low and sell high. I find some good early trades that get me up to speed and good start, but massive trading fleet and my own trading empire is still just a distant dream.

LET'S PLAY X3TC (X³: TERRAN CONFLICT) [BLIND] [1080p] (PC)

I'm new to the game, so this is nearly a blind let's play and I'm learning as I go. No spoilers in the comments, thank you. Gameplay tips and advice are welcome, but avoid revealing me things about the story and the plot I haven't seen.

Start: Humble Merchant Role & Playstyle: Trader/Entrepreneur, Pacifist Plot: Not at the beginning of the LP, but I will start/follow the story later.

Show: http://www.youtube.com/show/letsplayx3tc

My playstyle is slower-paced in any game I play, and X3TC is no exception. With my little experience of the game, I've already learned that this game takes quite a bit time and patience. Even the official manual says "Say goodbye to social life/sleep or both".

Later in the let's play I will probably follow the story and the plot, and engage in combat as a result, but at the beginning I play as a pacifist trader.

The videos on this LP will be long - around 22-44 Mizuras probably = 1-2h for those not familiar with the stantard time based on the rotational period of the Teladi Home planet Ianamus Zura :)

I play X3TC on 1920x1080 max graphics and record the videos with Fraps (Full capture, 30fps). I'll post videos in Full HD 1080p, compressed with VirtualDub into x264 (Single pass - ratefactor 23).
