Good News (!) Expect a buggy release that looks like if it's the alpha version, which will be unstable, bad plot and no tutorials. Expect features in the menu that are grayed out until the next version is about to be reased. Expect delays. Really, the way it usually is, it's only 1 or 2 years after ...

Perhaps Squash Mine/Missile/Torpedo the place or use throw in 100 lasertowers? Sorry... I have no idea what to do here. To battle so many M3s you'd need several M2s, protected by wings, perhaps 100 M3s/M4s carried in by M1s (or jumped in). I'm not sure what to do here lol. I'd personally reload or d...

Advertising in games
Hi, http://gigaom.com/2007/10/12/how-casual-games-can-become-money-machines/ I was reading the article above, and it got me sort of worried. Right now there are not many games I know that have in-game advertising. But I could totally see it happening in a couple of years. Imagine X3 being populated ...

M2 Docking
Hi, Losing the M2 docking ability in X2 isn't nice. I miss it a lot. I was wondering whether there is a script that allows you to dock with M3/M4/M5 ships with M2 ships? I would love the ability to dock a 3/4 M3s with every M2 - it would make transferring myself from ship to ship much easier etc. I ...

TBH I think that violence in games is fine - as I heard someone on TV say, you've never heard of a person playing Macbeth suddenly go mad, murder their boss and competitors and get their wife to go insane. So why should a person playing CJ or Vercetti do the same? But Craig Ferguson said it best: ht...

Yeah sorry about the forum thing... the screenshot isn't as clear as I would have hoped because photobucket resized it and compressed it a lot. In reality the whole screen is covered with 4-pixel dots that move around the screen in a pattern of some sort. The ones on the door can be seen easily, but...

:D The door on the FEAR screenshot is covered with black dots that shouldn't be there (and they kind of move around the screen when you play) and there is a vertical white line half way accross the menu screen - (between the N and S in options) and they sort of move from left to right. It stops happ...

Graphics problem
Hi, I don't think this is a problem with X3 itself - it's some sort of a graphics card problem but I'm not exactly sure which one. I am attaching two screenshots - one from X3 and another from F.E.A.R. - the reason is in X3 it's extremely hard to catch it because it only appears for a split second t...

The gamespy reviewers insisted on reviewing the vanilla (or the 1.2) version of the game if I recall correctly. Most of the issues have been fixed now. X3 is far from being a polished and perfect piece of software. There are still minor gripes that people have. But there are a few things to note abo...

OP: Perhaps your Mamba's speed was too low as you approached the Buster, thereby increasing the time you spend going head to head with it? I like the Mamba Raider quite a bit - the important thing is to turn and twist like mad so that you don't get hit. Turning and twisting isn't as easy in a Nova. ...

Is it possible then to remove the visibility block by making all stations appear at any distance instead of removing the backdrop from view? Given the fact that this is exactly what's happening in other sectors, this should be possible. Well, I get that you can't pull a fix out of your hat, CBJ, but...

Why not? I'm sure there is a way of doing it - I know plenty of games that simulate fog, and somehow they manage to pull off not showing backgrounds despite not being able to see objects. And what's up with the "it's not something that can or will be" - is this a taboo or something? X2 and X3 both h...

Stars showing through nebulae
Hi,
I was wondering whether there is a fix to this. What happens is that distant stars and planets are visible through nebulae, when close-by stations are not. It's really annoying and I wish it wasn't happening.

I think it's a bad idea. M2s are supposed to be powerful battleships who's mere presence injects fear into the hearts of pirates, traders and sector patrols alike. Not marshmallows that can be taken out by M5s. Taking them down is too easy already. I'd much rather they'd enable us docking 3/4 M5-M3s...

Re: So, why are we so afraid?
Which is wait for it... COMMUNISM! No, it is not communism. I believe the "ultimate" goal of communism is to aboilish all government and have communes govern themselves, or something like that. A single world government is the opposite of that. Was it because I said "the people"? What is so wrong w...
