Freebie ships in X3 - Here are the coordinates. (spoiler)

[Wolfkin]

As you probably know there are a number of abandoned ships floating around in X3. They are all in mint condition and have a lot of equipment. But do you know where they are?

Thought it would be nice to post it again as there are a number of new players around.

This list has been posted before quite some time ago but I don't know who did it but all credit to you.

Coordinates as follows, sector number. 0,0 is Kingdom end, 1,0 is Three Worlds, 3,1 is Argon Prime. You get the way it works?

Coordinates in sector is how the show up on you bottom right in the sector map top to bottom. 0,0,0 is center of map, 0,10,0 is 10km above center (over your head) 10,0,0 is 10km north of center, -10,0,-10 is 10km South and 10km West. You'll figure it out.

The ships
Toucan Hauler in sector Menelaus Frontier ( 0,3 ) at 43, -7, 35
Iguana Vanguard in sector Family Whi ( 0,6 ) at 0, 0, 40
Harrier Sentinel in sector The Vault ( 0,13 ) at -25, -10, -14
Falcon Sentinel in sector Unknown Sector ( 0,16 ) at -20 ,3 ,2
Buzzard Hauler in sector Family Tkr ( 3,14 ) at -35, -7, -10
Buster Sentinel in sector Akeela's Beacon ( 6,8 ) at 30, -10, -30
Buster Sentinel in sector Treasure Chest ( 6, 14 ) at 0, 50, 0
Scorpion Raider in sector Xenon Sector 101 ( 7,5 ) at 0, 0, 80
Mamba Raider in sector LooManckStrat's Legacy ( 10,9 ) at -17, 0, 0
Nova in sector Unknown Sector ( 10,18 ) at -12, 1, -19
Mako Raider in sector Depths Of Silence ( 13,0 ) at 1, -3, 38
Pericles Vanguard in sector Unknown Sector ( 15,7 ) at -10, 10, 10

There is also the racing ship Starburst in sector Freedoms Reach ( 7,4 ) and the ship is straight above the North gate, about 35km. Just turn your ship straight up when you come through the gate and you should soon see it on your sector map. Not sure if this one show up before you have done the racing mission in the plot.

There is also an Arrow kicking around somewhere -

I have just had a search, but can't find it...
If someone comes across it, perhaps they would be good enough to PM Wolfkin so he can edit his post... - and maybe someone could see if this can be organised so it can be found easily

Thanks

Yeah, as part of the Bala Gi mission to pick up the Hyperion:

The same sector that has the free Nova and the free Hyperion has a pile of other free ships in it too, including a free M6 Nemesis, 3 free M3s, and 3 free M5s including the Arrow.

In fact, I used the M6 (after I jumped it out, repaired it, and jumped it back) to tow the hyperion.

Yeah, sticky blindness is a widespread disease, get a touch of it myself now and then.

Trouble is this thread will soon disapear down the board. Maybe we should get it stickied!

I made the same mistake. Apparently, if you don't bother to repair the ship, when you get back to the shipyard it gets repaired for free--so you can make several million credits this way!

[Rabid Potatoe]

Are they present in X2 or just X3?

[Scarecrow]

X³ goodies only.

ok nice but i have salvaged all those ships was just wondering are these new ships (2.02 patch) available only when bala gi mission is active or are they available from the off
Reason I ask is lost my empire due to HHD failed so restarted with 2.02 but not at the bala Gi activation stage yet

The ships in the list are there from the start of the game, you just need to pick them up.
The only extra ships I know of with the Bala Gi upgrade are

the ships around the Pontifex Maximus Yacht and the extra ship you get through the missions.
Don't think you can get them before the Bala Gi missions are done.
