Any chance of reverting to a previous save? Then you can spend the money instead investing in SPP's for a bit to get a little more cash, then you can buy an Osprey and properly outfit it. I have a hunch that the Osprey is the ship you truly want, and will most enjoy. Get it fully outfitted with a fu...

In my X2 game I have 31 GPPC loops, 8 125 MW shield, 10 BPPC, 2 APPC, 1 GHEPT, 1 GPSG loop for capital ship armament. 1 BHEPT and 2 25 MW shield loops for fighter and freighter retrofitting. 1 of each missile type, 1 mass driver ammo, 2 for fighter drones, and 1 for squash mines for consumable ordna...

It's a great way to capture ships that have been prepared by nicking their hulls sufficiently.

Since money is no object now, and you'd like to set up some stations, consider the Mammoth for its ultra big cargo bay. Otherwise, as a personal HQ TL I like the Elephant for its speed and hanger. But you may also like the Albatross for its heavy weapon loadout if you want a personal HQ.

Foxy42, Another little trick for you, if you are in a fight, and your shields are getting low (on the Hyperion the 1Gj shields take a long time to recharge) then jump somewhere safe, eject all your shields from the ship and then collect them back again and they are magically completely recharged. I...

I suppose if you actually fight them and don't do them with your fleet OOS its not as bad.

Actually you don't even have to fight, really. If you have a fleet you can do XI missions OOS. Won't get combat rank but still get the cash.

Yeah, but that one's sure a game spoiler. Learning how to script in a billion credits would be only just barely easier.

Also, weapon power (as in recharge rate) will be absolutely irrelevant.

Yeah I usually keep a few thousand on hand myself.

Hey geggo, not tryin to be picky, but did a quick text search to be sure, and no-one except you has written FLACK...FLACK or FLAK (both spellings correct) is a perfectly adequate description of it...if one was to use the correct acronym in relation to the game, then FAA would indeed be the most cor...

Restrictionless software IS our right, though granted we have to take the responsibility for making the choice of software ourselves. In other words, companies indeed have the right to protect their stuff. But I also have the right to choose another game/application that doesn't have those intrusive...

For one thing, congratulations on spelling Odysseus correctly. I just finished reading a political forum and hardly anyone could spell. Ever consider using universe traders? Many people say they make even more than factories.

In terms of online activation, as software "evolves" there is a growing trend towards more restrictive copy-protection. Although often an inconvenience for end-users... usage-monitoring is a way in which software developers can protect their investment... When posters complain about ...control..., ...

I wonder if someday we will have home toilet manufacturers that insist on an internet connection so as to monitor useage statistics, report defecation beyond contractual limit, report any illegal substances that are flushed down it, etc.

As for what CBJ posted....I'd agree with that, afterall, its the users fault for not reading the program description properly (unless someone can find a program that performs completely differently to its description..) That's sarcasm, right? Right? Since when do program descriptions completely des...

It is not a crock of anything. Ask anyone who has spent time on a helpdesk. For every person who knows what they are doing on their PC (of which you may be one, I don't know) there are 10 who have no idea but still tinker. And while I'm at it, I submit that the people who write these convoluted cop...

It is not a crock of anything. Ask anyone who has spent time on a helpdesk. For every person who knows what they are doing on their PC (of which you may be one, I don't know) there are 10 who have no idea but still tinker. Well I guess I'm the one, so that's how it looks from my point of view. i kn...

The way I see it, assuming you want to purchase a game that is only available through Steam, if the whole Steam system works for you then you'll buy game. I've seen a lot of technical arguments against Steam (no internet, too much HDD space, etc.), but no one has made any objections based on princi...

There's a script called STC: Station Upgrade Commands that has a number of options one of which being to automate your factories and do away with the need for food for the cost of 5 million. I thought it was overpowering at first, but after my loop logistics demands reached headache levels, i tried...
