Please I work in IT inter-gate communication would have been restored months after the gates popped open. Considering that likely they would just be beaming data streams through the gate. Then bouncing them from system to system. Using gate tech and comm relays in system. The Technology would have ...

.... If this is the new direction, then I'm out.... I still wildly, desperately and against all the evidence hoping that what we have done here is gone all the way back to the roots of X and gotten ourselves X-BTF Mk 2 with a shiny new home built (and therefore very clunky and temperamental) engine...

... Another way to solve it could be to appoint each of those freighters to the architect, and everytime a resource is needed, the architect would go by alphabetical order, and then have each freighter deliver the wares to the CV until all resources are added, and if a ware is missing ... Problem h...

No one seems to have mentioned, when capping DO NOT destroy the drone launcher. Ignore that mission, it will slow you down but not stop the capping operation, and may be replaced by something more suitable.

At first I spent a lot of time running around systems to find the rahanas and stations with materials I need. Now I just hang out at a jump beacon until a ship jumps in with what I am looking for. Usually doesn't take too long. You need to take out the jump drive quick though. Can also recommend si...

Yep, definitely not you and I was having the same thoughts about the drone scripts failing. I have another thought that perhaps there is potentially another conflict in that I'm going to guess the food station you are trading with has the dock attached to a 'destroyed' model on that part of the stat...

Modular Ships and Factories, which would include ofc Orbital factory rings and space elevators around a few selected major planets (so, satisfying at arms length the planet trade requirement wothout actually landing) Quite how you would fit a planet into a sector only 80 km across is, ofc a totally ...

Play the story and get yourself one of those sweet little Yaki M4's :twisted: 225 speed and 2x25 for shielding. Can't beat that. Failing that you should be able to capture a Pirate Falcon easily enough in your Buster and enter the wonderful world of Ion-D's. Depends on your flying/fighting style rea...

loose social life and sleep? Yes indeedy, I play WoW! :P X3? too much like hard work now, and I haven't returned to it since my last CTD after the 'escape pod' video after flying around the pleasure complex wiped out the previous hours efforts. I'd been putting this misson off till the 1.3 patch had...

Unless... Betty could be referring to the holes in the plot. Or the gameplay.

Your choice.

got his wrong last time.

Hints, not exact co-ords...

Send your ship of choise (XL cargo recommended, but not essencial) to either a Teladi Equipment Dock or TerraCorp Headquarters. Pay slightly over 500,000Cr to install Trade Soft Mk3. Command console now includes the command 'Start Sector Trader' and 'Start Universe trader' Sector trader will level u...

Ask for directions if you gat lost. (Comms other ships within 8km)
Simple, neh?

When they impliment Tugs prehaps? Before or after mobile mining and repair lasers?

Or maybe... Another thought has occured to me. We are playing X2.5, X3 was origionally going to be X Universe.... Now, if your ideas men and Devs are looking for a way to limit the number of ships any one player has in an Online Universe, how would you do that? Mess around with who docks with what, ...

In terms of things to shoot, my own impression is also that the difference between the 'core' setors (0,0, through about 8,8) and the 'new' secotrs (anything added after X-btf) is fairly huge. I have yet to see anything bigger than a Pirate M4 within 5 jumps of Argon Prime, but I saw a fair ammount ...

Okay, assuming you are in your origional M4, and still have the free jumpdrive aboard, 1: make sure you got 2 jumps worth of energy with you (20 cells) 2: when Talon jumps, Saya will comm you saying she has sent you co-ords, Shift-J to activate the jump drive, the story sector is pre-programmed, jum...

X-Treme, do the first 2 story line missions. Now when you get back into your own ship (spoiler?) you will have about a dozen Wasp missiles in the hold (you did take the time to pick up that free cash diring mission one, diden't you?) and be right next door to an equipment dock. Dock, sell missiles a...

Well, final attempt. 1.2 patch is being downloaded for the 4th time. £190 quid, (£35 for the game and over £150 for a new graphics card, see how much I love you guys?) and 48 hours later, and still haven't played the game. Total reinstall (twice) 1.2 patch (4 times as mentioned) updated Dx, WMP and ...

And thats just the loading screens!

Thank you ego, thought I'd better post now before I disappear for teh weekend, see ya'll MUCH later.
