Currently running v2.0(a) and I'm flying around in a Yokohama with starburst generators as the weapon of choice. Recently finished "protecting a station" mission with no problems to weapons and then jumped to a new sector to clean up some Xenon and now all of a sudden having taken no weapons fire th...

Got it . . .

(this will teach me to work overseas and leave the manual at home . . . )

Okay, maybe I missed something but I have Unfocussed Jumpdrive listed in posessions but when I press Shift-J, I don't get anything other than the standard Universe Map to jump about in.

Remind me what to press to activate the Unfocussed Jumpdrive.

I've only just started this mission, but I'm finding the first instruction just a bit worse than vague. "Fly to Unfocussed Jumpdrive sector" Now there isn't a sector on the universe map called "Unfocussed Jumpdrive" that would be too obvious. The guidance is on but there's no arrows. So I jump to Al...

It's been a while since I was last here, and perhaps this is a bug that's already been mentioned. I've taken an OTAS follow and find out where X is going and I've gone to find the target and a soon as I get informed that I've found the target and not to get too close the target ship stops or just mo...

Alternatively ship to try is a Split Dragon, in X2 it's got good turrets to keep off the Khaak fighters but takes a few adjustments to get into position. You just have to manage your speed and strafe into position when you do it. Did try to complete it in a Collosus but for some strange reason you j...

I personally like the HQ and in many respects I think it's a good thing that it does take time for it to build you a new ship. This simply means if you want an instant capital ship then rather than wait 2 game days for your HQ to churn one out then you'll have to call in at your local shipyard (but ...

Hi Al,

It's only, mechanical engineering and product development in the field of Telecoms.


Hi Pixel, interesting doesn't quite cover the Chinese cuisine and believe me it's nothing like we get back home.

Hi Al,

Too hard .. but then again most of it is trying to overcome the communications barriers and I'm on restricted hours as a consultant so it's not too bad.

Congratulations mate, how long before the big day?

It's been a while since I last looked in and said "Hi .. " But thi is a short visit having been working in Stockholm since last Easter, that is until a few weeks ago when I was asked to work in Shanghai, now I'm home for Easter, but back to Shanghai at the end of the week for 4 more weeks and then h...

:oops: looks like I've some catching up to do... [cheerful wave from deepest darkest Sweden] with the current state of freezing fog I'm beginning to wonder if I might actually make it home to the UK for christmas. :gruebel: .. otherwise it will be one dull X-mas (or an opportunity to breath some lif...

Cheers, just a brief momentary lapse of memory as the case would have it.

Must be due to this cold I seem to have picked up and can't shake off.

Now I remember ... Chapter 1 - The Lapse Chapter 2 - A Past Life Chapter 3- Old Friend Chapter 4 - Pirate Spy Chapter 5 - Dream Factory Chapter 6 - Pirate Colours Chapter 7 - The Ruse Chapter 8 - The Other Face Chapter 9 - Reflection Chapter 10 - Cracks Chapter 11 – Back on the Trail Chapter 12 – Ch...

Good selection of options .. my favourite was factions. more sectors is a nice option but they need to be interesting places to discover, with mineral resources but at a cost i.e. more prone to being attacked by Xenon, Khaak, or pirates in a massive war scenario, when you start to establish stations...

Hmmm, I have to say this one's been a bit of a tough one to finish.. far too many distractions getting in the way..

Anyway chapter complete .. but I think it might need a bit more work .. see what you think...

Hey, KiwiNZ. Likin it as usual! Uh... Merc, hate to be argumentative, but I disagree about one point change “masterpiece was an AI that is ..” to “masterpiece is an AI that’s..” (the AI still exists in the present time and place) I disagree. To say "Sor’s last masterpiece is an AI that's beyond eve...

Good stuff, A couple of pointers on speech, be concise with specific information but try not to go into detail or into in-depth explanations unless asked for by another character; also unless it’s a mannerism of a character, for example a computer synthesized voice, then use abbreviations, it’s; the...

Hey Kiwi, Great story, one or two minor observations below as food for thought. pt1: The fierce looking Paranid was dressed in full combat armour. suggest something along the lines of .."The taut features, and penetrating gaze of the third eye only added to the Paranid's visage of ferocity while the...
