Hi all, my PC has AMD 3200+ CPU, 1.25Gb DDR RAM (soon to be upgraded to 2.5) and a 256mb Nividia GeForce FX 5600XT graphics card. X3 runs fine in systems with few rocks, and even in systems with lots, if none are in view the game runs pretty smooth. But when rocks are in view the game slows up so mu...

sorry my misread well no cause of certain things added since look for the less roids mod (and there is one) use that until they tune it more next patch Thanks, but I am aware of the "less-roids" mod, to use this with X3 1.3 you have to start a new game, which I don`t want to do because of the loss ...

I`m talking about X3 and the 1.2 patch, not X2.

As the billions of rocks in the 1.3 patch have slowed my game down to the point where it is chore to play it, I am considering uninstalling X3 and reinstalling it with the 1.2 patch. However, having fought my way up to the rank of Militant and traded up to Petty Financier, plus all the race ranks I ...

One thing I cannot understand about X3 (I thought the same about X2) is that there are no ECM systems for missile defence. Surely one of the races would`ve developed such anti-missile defence systems? Now there are more powerful missiles in X3, maybe it is time an ECM system was developed. Anyone ag...

No, there are just very few of them. I do believe, however, that they now fly around in disguised ships. I think the idea is that you have to buy a freight scanner for your ship and you sit by a gate scanning the ships as they come through. Those that are carrying illegal goods - i.e. the pirates - ...

Me too, but I think you`ll find the Acorn Electron had 32k of memory. I upgraded mine to a whopping 64k and was able to play BBC games! Ahh, those were the days!

Yes, but to use it you have to start again from scratch and there are a lot of people, like myself, who are too far advanced in the game to have the patience to start again.

Hi Uncle B, can you please tell me where I can find this script? Thanks.

Hi Moderator,

I accidentally posted this twice, can`t delete it. Can you remove? Thanks

Space must be filled with obvious obsticles, and it cannot be a bunch of stars and that's it. I agree up to a point, but Egosoft have gone totally overboard with the inclusion of these smaller rocks. Asteroids are fine, but how they`ve chosen to place them is illogical. In many sectors you jump thr...

Hi all, since starting X3 I have been concentrating on making money by capping, using a few ST`s, etc. Last night I bought my first SPP and built it in KE, just like I did in X2. OK, I know this may be the wrong start, but what the hell! Only then did I really start to look at the NPC facts in KE an...

What are you? Man or mouse? :lol: I play X3 whenever I want...mainly coz the missus left me for her former boyfriend 4 years ago! I do have a girlfriend, but she lives the other side of London from me and we only see each other at weekends. So I get to play X3 4 nights out of 7, which suits me fine....

I have been bemoaning the lack of pirate ships in X3 since it was released, but something I read in a thread made me sit up and, having re-read it, I have a very important question: Is it true that many pirate ships are actually "in disguise" as ordinary ships that show up blue on your radar, until ...

Hi all, I know someone has produced a mod that gives less asteroids and less enemies, I just want one that gets rid of all these f*****g asteroids that are once again slowing up the game! They`re driving me MAD!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: Pretty please, Modders. XXXXXXX Lazza P.S. HAPPY N...

No, already got one there and it isn`t very good, keeps going to standby.

Why oh why did Egosoft change so much in X3. Have they never heard the saying "If it ain`t broke, don`t fix it!"????

Without the search function, I can`t find if there is an existing thread for this. I currently have 3 Sector Traders, but they don`t do very much before they just go back to standby. I assume the ST has been changed from X2, like virtually everything else, they`ve made them worse. Are there any sect...

I have just returned home after spending Christmas away and immediately d/l`d the 1.3 patch and installed it. My initial reaction is to ask why, after doing so much to improve the performance of the game after the initial release, Egosoft then have to put in these asteroid fields which slow down the...

This mod is the best thing since sliced bread! Now, if you can fix it so TL`s can dock TS`s......

1: I would like to see an option for the HUD so that you just have the box round the targetted ship, nothing else. At the moment it`s all or nothing, the screen is too cluttered with boxes with the HUD on. I thought they would`ve fixed this in 1.3? 2: TL`s to be able to dock TS`s and be able to carr...
