Haven't signed into my account in a long time. Signing in just to vote that this change annoys me and has put me from 100% wanting this game to teetering on the fence. I think that flying around in a larger ship (or just cruising a sector in it) was one of the more enjoyable things about X3 and i'm ...

Drones aren't much use for flat out attacking anything unless in ludicrous numbers. They make a nice distraction but as has been said, so does the wasp missile. But they have some more... unconventional uses. Drones are good dogs. they like to "fetch" units my Centaur is too slow to catch up to. Als...

Short of a hammerhead, your best bet with the mamba if you aren't going to go missile happy is to simply fly at them full pelt and rip through most of them blindfire as the cluster breaks. Fly right through the middle and just pound them... If you can drop most of the scouts on your first pass or th...

I need an M2 sized can opener..
So i'm getting back into X3 after a sizable hiatus and decide this Bala Gi stuff could use a look through. Not a problem, so i'm hopping along in my Centaur doing missions (went with something a TAD faster for the Xenon sat drop mission) and i have to go to a solar power plant in Great Fortune. Here...

The Nova is the cheaper option, naturally. It's a nice ship, though it has a fairly big profile. The Mamba Raider is more for people who are serious about combat, since it's not a ship you can fight in relaxed and get out unscathed.. but if you need to run, or are just not looking for fights.. the M...

in terms of usability, i'm going to nominate the falcon as the worst ship in terms of comparison to other ships in the same class . The Mamba is another "candidate" but you have to consider, some people just can't fly a ship that relies on it's speed to survive. The fact is, the mamba has speed, the...

The most useful missiles are probably the Typhoon, Tempest and Thunderbolt. The other missiles have thier uses though, just not as versatile. Hornets are awesome hull killers but it's not much use to throw them at an M5, for example. Another good example is Wasps.. they're cheap and you can fire two...

Heh, I go there when i'm bored and need a serious kick. And it IS a serious kick. Especially in a centaur with the Medusa Missile Interface mod.... set turrets to attack all enemies, jump in, start shooting and pray. I think my record is about 30 kills before i jumped out. my turrets took out a numb...

Finished the plot - now what?
Finish the plot missions last night. Fly a Centaur, own 5 complexes, steady flow of money coming in, but not that much... what to do now? I'm thinking, build up a bigger factory base so i have big monies coming in, then start working on some kind of crazy battle fleet or something.. then declare war...

it's a personal thing really. in X2 i couldn't STAND it with a joystick (i have an old Sidewinder Precision Pro, so it's a good bit of gear despite being over 5 years old) In X3 i tried the keyboard/mouse thing and hated it with a passion. 5 minutes of tinkering with my joystick and i'm happy as a p...
