Thanks. And I apologize if this is a stupid question (or one that is answered directly in the manual), but can I assign a trader to a factory and have it sell that factory's wares? It's very early in the game, and I have a mercury and a discoverer (I own no factories). I'd like to set the mercury to...

Thanks for the quick reply.

It is not one of my own bases (don't own any yet). Can I assign a trader to a homebase that I do not own? I thought I remembered doing that in prior X games.

Thanks again.

Brody

I apologize if this is not the correct forum for this question. I've played the X games for a number of years, and just purchased X3:TC after buying a new machine capable of handling the game. I'm enjoying the game so far, except I cannot assign my ships to a home base. When I try to select a home b...

Actually, I think an online version of the X Universe is something Egosoft has seriously considered. At one point a couple of years ago I think they had an X Online Universe website. This has been heavily discussed on the forum, and I recall in years past that there was broad support for the idea. I...

Please excuse me if this is not the proper forum for this request. I am in the market for a new PC now that X3TC has been released. I would like to connect the PC to my home theater system. Has anyone played TC on a 1920 X 1080 television? If so, any advice regarding a system (and/or graphics card) ...

Thanks for the helpful suggestions. I think the Elephant is the clear choice.

Thanks again!

I apologize if this has been covered already. I've got about $25 mil saved and was considering a TL . In X2, I used my Hercules as a mobile base and carried variety of ships, including transport ships. It was ideal for adding many factories and complexes as well as for hauling tons of energy and for...

Silent, I completely agree. Well put.

Brody

CJ, You've always been one of the truly well-respected people on these boards. The fact that so many from the old guard as well as the folks who have only known you for a short while have posted in this thread is illustrative of that. we hope to see you back in full force very soon. Please at let us...

I am going to run some thorough spyware sweeps and try to re-calibrate my system. But if you're having the exact same issue, Larry, it could certainly be a game problem.

I'm playing on a P4 (2.6 mhz), 1GB RAM, Nvidia 6800 GT OC 128 MB graphics (78.01 drivers) and the game ran fairly well with the 1.2 patch. Initially, 1.2.1 made things much better. The crowded sectors were smooth with 8X SETA and even navigating through the menus was quick. The last couple of days, ...

So I take it the Osprey is not longer the gold standard in sector defense? That makes things interesting. Glad I read this thread before buying one and foolishly assuming it would be sufficient. Thanks.

Brody

Wow, Outlaw, that seems l ike on heck of an interesting game you have going there. Nicely done.

Brody

Are these designations for the X3 ships the same as the old S, M, L designations or are there other differences? you missed one hauler more cargo space then the standard model the vanguard has more weapons then the standard model the Sentinel, nore sheilds but is slower then the standard model the ...

This thread really got me worried. I've owned and played every single X game since inception (back when Berhd was a lowly Egosoft employee and communicated with me directly on a bad shipment :shock:) and with X2 still fresh in my mind (it saw me thru a bad patch after surgery and homestay for 5mths...

So, Vincent, care to share your first impressions? I believe you're the first American member of the forum to play the game.

Brody

Looks like they won't get it until Monday. They just changed the date to 10/31/05. :( Just saw that myself. That's a disappointment. When gogamer said it would ship X3 today, I changed my order to get Saturday delivery. Even then, the pessimist in me doubted that they would actually ship. And, once...

Al

So when does the game arrive for you, Al? More importantly, when can we expect to see the X3 ship capturing guide?

Brody

Very nice post, Mopy. Well-written and thoughtful. Most importantly, it really makes us want to get our hands on the game.

Gogamer will ship *some* X3 DVDs from Deepsilver/UK this Friday. They have an option for Saturday delivery (although it's fairly expensive).
