When the demo came out in 2013 I immediately started to look forward to this game. It became one of a handful of future games very much on my radar. The impression I got at the time, and for a while after, was that it would be something akin to Fallout or Elder Scrolls... in the sense that you could...

I played X3 TC % AP for 100s of hours after modding it into next century. It really is excellent. I do own X4 (bought it on GOG) but I could not get into it. Some of the design decisions and the AWFUL interface made me give up after a few hours. Looks beautiful but I did not find it fun to play. Ma...

Just happened to be mindlessly browsing, clicked on Egosoft Forums, Off-Topic, started reading a few posts and saw this thread. Decided to post 'Hi Everybody' from another old timer. :goner: :) I played X3 TC % AP for 100s of hours after modding it into next century. It really is excellent. I do own...

Just an update for everyone concerned about the ability to play offline single player: Good morning everybody. I've had a chat with David and gained more clarity on the single player question. The intended experience with the evolving galaxy will need to sync with the server. However you will be ab...

My first post on Egosoft for a good long while... Hi all! :) Found out about Elite Dangerous yesterday from Oldman & Matty (mathewfarmery), who mentioned it on The Mad Goner forum. Promptly pledged, then found out it was basically an MMO with some sort of nebulous 'you can play alone' component. Pul...

As one of the founder members of TMG I can definitely confirm it's still going strong. Also, esd's version of events is more or less it. :thumb_up: Wow LV... all those past tenses in your post... Methinks the Empire needs to sack it's Intelligence Arm ... It's definitely ever so slightly inefficient...

At this point I'd like to extend an apology to the Egosoft management for having carelessly allowed a few Goners to escape the asylum and hijack this thread.

Please accept our sincerest apologies... the van is on the way!

Finally got my PS3 today. Using it with a Panasonic TH-42PX80B ... 42 in Plasma. The quality is STUNNING! Only watched an upscaled movie so far (or rather 15 minutes of it), Fantastic 4 Rise Of The Silver Surfer. Incredibly impressive picture. Also tried playing Assassin's Creed for a while. Graphic...

This seems like a rather peculiar point to make. Microsoft are a large corporation, and corporations exist to make money. Let's do the sums. When you roll out a new version of an OS you have a huge market to sell to, including existing users of older versions, users of other people's OSs and new co...

I'd like to see some kind of training system. restricting you from those larger ships for a while. A layout similar to Eve: online possible. ofcourse, not nearly as long training the large skills, but still, or some skill point based system that requires specialization. I think that this would also...

Voted for planets (what a surprise )... but modular ships and factions would be my next two choices.

As for the convoys i suppose it is unreasonable

All the ships could do with being faster

sarcana, if your english is poor, i never noticed, your points are a verry unique and accurate way of looking at it. i applaud your oppinions.. :D i tend to find people are dissapointed because either :- A:- X3 is too different from X2 B:- X3 is too simmilar to X2 whitch is a lose lose situation as...

The shields to the uber-secret Mad Goner Temple.

The temple is located in a hidden sector, and you only get to discover where it is by doing a mission that involves taking out a khaak fleet (3 destroyers and 10 M3s) with an M5 scoutship.

Not many make it

re-installed 1.2??

I can agree with this perspective, however there are (at least) two remaining problems: 1) The new patch totally breaks UT trading, because there is no way for the player to control their trading routes, and prevent them from entering the more dangerous sectors. Assigning escorts doesn't seem to be...

... but what about all those who are getting invasion fleets, and rampant pirates in core sectors AFTER restarting a brand new 1.3 game??

I posted this in another thread... but took it out as I think it's more relevant in this one. I posted the quoted text elsewhere, in another forum, after 1.3 was released and I was thinking of re-starting the game. Then I came here and spent two hours reading peeps' experiences of the fragfest that ...
