Well im playing it on a WinXP computer and playing it at 4:3 with two monitors connected. The game automatically knows there are two and i tell it to you use the second screen for the various views. Works great, although it does decrease your FPS a little. Go into your options menus from within the ...

XBTF is definitely worth playing, but it will test your patience. And doesn't hold your hand at all. X-Tension is a big improvement as far as empire management goes. You can remotely manage your assets. Has in game universe and sector maps. Can fly multiple ships. I consider it the first true X game...

Best of the series in my view. Spent so many hours playing it. Loved the real time shadows as well, too bad they removed from the X3 series. Also loved the second monitor support, where you can use a separate monitor to display various views. Very few games use a second monitor like that. Another ex...

My favorite X game after X2 The Threat.

There's no such thing as Out Of Sector combat in XBTF. Just leave the sector with the Argon One and do your business. It will arrive to its destination without a scratch. I did that but the ship never arrived. Thanks for the replies but i gave up trying as ive essentially finished the game anyway. ...

Im at the end of the game, where i need to destroy the Xenon M0. That's no problem, the problem is after that i need to escort the Argon ship back to Argon space. However it's a slow ship and gets killed easily by Xenon M2s. So i wanted to see if i can destroy these M2s, but its really hard. I have ...

Where can i find a Teladi wharf? (TEL)
Where can i sell crafted delerium?

Any way to play the release version of Rebirth? Just curious since i did not buy at release. Want to see if its as bad as the early negative reviews portrayed it. Right now the game is one of my favorites and I find it a big improvement over the previous X games. But really want to try the initial r...

Good stuff, thanks. Will be getting 4gb more ram tomorrow and will shop around for a new cpu.

Thanks for the help all.

Currently have 4GB ram. If I need to upgrade my motherboard to fit a new processor I will do that, if that's what Rebirth will benefit from the most.

Well I was wondering will Rebirth benefit more from a good CPU or good GPU? Id rather buy just one. I know some games you can have a crappy GPU or the best one, and the game will still run the same on the same processor. This kind of thing.

Depends what you're planning to do. If the objective is to improve performance when playing games then I'd say the graphics card is your biggest bottleneck--5770s only have 1Gb of on-board RAM at most, and a lot of modern games like to have more. The CPU is a quad-core (I believe all 3GHz i5s were,...

Im thinking of doing a small upgrade, and my question is which should i go for to increase performance more? Currently have an i5 3.0, and an Ati 5770. Thanks!

Ah, i see. Wonder why i thought plasma and plasma cells would one and the same. Thanks for clearing that up

Here, anyone can tell me what im missing? I can buy plasma, but not sell it?

Yep i switched screens for sure. I bought the plasma, but cant sell it. Will take a screencap tomorrow.

So i told my Rahanas to buy some plasma cells. No problem. When i try to sell them however, im not allowed since Rahanas is apparently not able to carry this ware.

Whats going on?

Well I haven't played it but everyone is saying Terran Conflict is the easiest game. My favorite personally is X-Tension, followed by X2. They are both harder to get into because of the interface (which by the way I love, maybe im just too used to it). I started playing X3 but couldn't get into it. ...

This game always missed a real opponent - an entity that can catch up with the player, has to obey similar restrictions, and has about the same action set as us. It would not hurt anyone either if player could subdue this entity with military and/or economic power, or just coexist with it (doing mi...

Looked around in the md section, found this:
