@x2-eliah: they arrived at LNGS in Italy after they left CERN in Switzerland. @red assassin, is it possible that causality actually doesn't exist in space-time? The future might already exist and it might be only our brain who percieves time as a one-way arrow in which the cause happens before the e...

I'm sure of it but I was wondering what possible explanation they could find since it's clear that neutrinos didn't travel back in time.

If this discovery is confirmed then how physicists will explain it?

Red Assassin I was not considering the curvature of the universe and its warping with speed. Now I think I've understood why causality is messed by FTL. :) Anyway, for those who are interested, this is the video of the live webcast from CERN by the OPERA team which has made the discovery: http://www...

Could it be that FTL violates causality in the realm of mathematics but not in the physical world? :? Special and general relativity have been all but proven in size regimes larger than ~1nm (areas where quantum uncertainty becomes significant). It explains Mercury's precession, gravitational lensi...

Excuse me but isn't it like the relationship between the thunder and the flash? The information about the thunder arrives to us carried by the flash even before that the sound wave departes. :? I'm not sure I entirely understand what you're getting at, but this seems to be a fairly good demonstrati...

I hope this mod will fix some of the absurd features of the original game: - the very short range of capital ship PPCs weapons - the massive capital ships and stations equipped with just two times the shielding and armor of a small M6 corvette - the capital ships flying faster than fighters - the en...

Admittedly I haven't given all this a lot of thought, but I don't get what the speed of light has to do with causality? I mean if some of these neutrinos traveled faster than light it doesn't mean they arrived at their destination before they left their point of origin. They still took x amount of ...

I think that Egosoft should get in contact with Derek Smart and buy the copyright of Universal Combat which is a very good idea but AFAIK not well developed and turn it in a well developed space simulator with space combat, planetary landing and first person shooting on planetary surfaces, set in th...

Then think about the Getsu Fune. I doubt it has an array of owner races. For comparison: in the X3R version a Pirate Base in Teladi sector does show the message for XI that will be in Teladi sector. Oh, this complicate things if x2 works in the same way. So perhaps the condition is "in stations, wh...

It depends. The XI is only offered in stations of the same race as one of the sectors I mentioned. If you change the ownership of one of these sectors to Pirates, the BBS message will appear in Pirate stations. This means that if If I empty four sectors around the xenon sectors and the pirates buil...

Do MI appear in pirate bases?

Thank you for the answer.

Thanks to both of you for the answers: I will exploit my current machine for Reuinion and then change it for Terran Conflict.

Hi, I've just bought a second hand X-Gold CD but I've not found any CD Key inside: since I can't run it for a while (Game Platform needs XP reinstalling) could you tell me if the game actually requires it to be played?

Hi, could some veteran of X3 Reunion and X3 Terran Conflict tell me if my PC could work at max settings with these two games?

Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2,13 Ghz
2 GB Ram
Nvdia 7800 GTX 256Mb

Do I need to upgrade?

Will they remain in the space sim field or move to something completely different?
