I don't really remember, but once you send a ship to the alien dimension there should be a new research topic called 'the alien dimension' and once you've done that you could research/enter (dunno?) the first alien building. Once that one's gone you could research the next and then enter it....

You must send a probe through first that'll give you the "The Alien Dimension" topic finish that off then send a explorer through and have it land at the building after that you should be able to research that building. I think thats how it goes anyway I don't remember either I'm about to re install apoc from a ripped version and put the music in from the CD I have so I'll be able to help more in a few days.

The general progression to enable research of alien buildings generally goes along the following lines:-

 

Send an interdimensional ship through to the alien dimension for the first time. Doesn't matter what craft, as long as it gets through.

 

As soon as you enter the alien dimension, head straight for the nearest exit. Don't engage any enemy targets unless you're kitted to the teeth with shields and medium disrupters.

 

Once back in Megaprimus, you'll be able to research the first alien building. Research it.

 

When that is done, the first building will be ready to be attacked. Load up your transport ship and send it through, land at the building and raid or investigate to start the mission.

 

Once you've destroyed the building, head home. The research for the next building will be ready to go once you switch back to Megaprimus.

 

Lather, rince, repeat until you hit the gate generators.

In order to start wiping out the Alien City you need to do is the following:

1) Build ANY inter-dimensional craft (not necessarily Dimension Probe).

2) Send it to Alien Dimension, once you're there, you can go back.

3) In the city, do a Quantum Physics research on new available project: "Alien Dimension".

4) Once AD is researched, Biochemical project "Alien building" is available - research it.

Buildings in AD are connected in a long chain - the last is Dimension Gate Generator, the opposite (first one) in the chain is the one that you can attack, when research of "Alien building" is completed.

When building is destroyed, research the next one, and go to destroy it. Repeat this one by one until DG Generator is ruined.

The Alien Ship Building - Be Careful!

 

By the way, don't have your troop-ship lift off immediately when an alien building starts to crash. There's one building - I think the giant alien ship-building centre - that hangs over the entrance. If your ship is lifting off in the tube when the building starts to crash, the building will hit it and shields won't save the ship.

 

In my first X3 game, I lost my entire best-super-trooper platoon that way. The most devastating loss I've ever suffered, and never will it be forgotten. Heed my words! :-)

I lost a squad of 20 I had been carefully cultivating. But I lost them at the 2nd to last building because I thought that was it and I had to get out of the AD myself.

This is probably far too late to be of any use, but who knows, he was still playing after two years...

I'm playing apoc right now, and I'm just at the stage where I'm researching the first alien building.

What I had to do was exactly the following:

 

1) Send a probe to the alien dimension.

2) Once there, return immediately

3) Research the "alien dimension" topic in the quantum physics lab

4) Send another ship to the alien dimension (I used a retaliator but probably any ship will do)

5) Again, once there, return immediately

6) The first alien building became researchable in the biochemistry lab.
