(The Spitfyre is basically a cockpit with big f***ing engines attached.) When you combine that with the strong shields and decent weapons of Terran ships, however, you get a Game-Breaker. Their native Aldrin has no jumpgates or trans-orbital accelerators to quickly get ships from one planet or system to another, so they put all their design efforts into getting as much power out of the engines as possible to reduce travel time. The speed of the Springblossom and Spitfyre is somewhat justified by fluff.Its little brother, the Spitfyre interceptor, can outrun most scout ships, has the firepower of a prototype M3 (or potentially an M6, if you use Matter/Antimatter Launchers), and the shielding of a M3 Raider. The only disadvantage to it are the rarity of the weapons it uses (you can't build factories for Aldrin weapons), and the fact that the insane speed will mean you're probably going to end up ramming into enemies and dying, a lot. It's a corvette which has the firepower of a Prototype M6, can outrun most fighter craft, has the cargo bay of a small transporter, and can use the Prototype Starburst Shockwave Cannon, which is a frigate-grade flak weapon. The Springblossom corvette in X3: Terran Conflict.This weapon became nerfed to being only compatible with capital ships in Terran Conflict and Albion Prelude. Add to the fact that it can be mounted on most M3 fighters and you got yourself a weapon that can rack up your kill count and combat ranking very quickly.

The Phased Shockwave Generator is an immensely powerful Area of Effect weapon that does wonders on both fighters and capital ships.Still ends up being the best corvette after the (much more difficult to acquire) Springblossom, though. It returns in Terran Conflict, albeit nerfed to have its firepower and shielding being more in-line with corvettes it was also reclassified as an M6+ Heavy Corvette as the newly introduced M7 Frigates are proper capital ships. Bigger ships are still useful for massive fleet actions, but in solo play, once you get that particular vessel, it becomes redundant to get anything else at all.

Its superior weaponry lets it kill any other ship of its size, and its speed makes it fairly easy to dodge fire from ships several times its size - all the while pumping laser blasts in their hull. While it's by no means a God Ship, and is easy to kill when piloted by the AI, it becomes a one-size-fits-all pocket destroyer when flown by the player. Arguably a necessary evil, as the normal ships are all holdouts from the original 1999 game and generally suck.

The Bala Gi patch for X3: Reunion introduced the M3+ heavy fighter and M7 frigate class ships, respectively a fighter and capital ship that vastly outmaneuver and outgun all other ships of their type.

This exploit was fixed in Albion Prelude. Mine the debris for an hour, load it all into one ship, sell it for 30 to 50 million credits at a shipyard, rinse and repeat till you have billions of credits. The game does not get rid of the nividium that the ship is pretending to pick up, meaning that doing this results in effectively infinite nividium. However, ordering your ships to pick up the debris when you are not in the same sector results in the game basically 'faking' your ships picking up the debris - they'll fly around in the debris fields, and the game will cheat in nividium into their cargo bay, in order to save processing power. Normally, doing this will result in the nividium being depleted. Nividium is an extremely valuable, rare mineral that can only be mined by breaking up asteroids and picking up the debris in ships.

Nividium mining in Terran Conflict and previous games.

When your system is really being taxed, the AI will also stop firing (and in extreme cases, stop moving entirely) at you when SETA is on 10x. In other words, it will run AI routines slower (making them more idiotic), meaning that if the player hides in, say, a station while SETA is on 10x, in a combat mission, almost all enemy ships will plow into the station and destroy themselves because their AI doesn't realize there's a station in their flight path. Setting SETA to 10x causes the game to prioritize where it uses system resources. note Justified in-game as a Time Dilation device.

The games feature a Singularity Engine Time Accelerator ship add-on that allows you to speed up travel times via time compression.
