He had 100 EC’s in his hold too.

I have noticed that the keyboard stops responding during combat. Usually when there are more than a couple ships involved. I have the 1, 2, 3, and 4 keys mapped to my throttle so I can change weapon groups while fighting and they stop working when things get busy. I tried hitting the same keys on th...

Does X3 support multiple joysticks? Even bargain bin games support multiple joysticks lately, I just wondered if X3 does. I use a mix and match throttle, stick, and pedals, all from different manufactures. Virtually all flight simulators and racing games allow the use of more than one joystick, I wa...

This really did turn into a bashfest. Saitek makes decent, cheap joysticks. They don’t last long, but for the price a year isn’t a bad return for your money. I have had a couple X45’s, the first wore out, the second is for my number 2 computer in my LAN. The drivers/software is horrible however. And...

The Saitek X52 can’t touch a HOTAS from CH. The Saitek is a toy in comparison. But the CH stuff costs a lot more. And then there is the Cougar, which is a hobby unto itself. What I want to know is does X3 support more than one joystick? X2 didn’t and it really was unacceptable for a game released in...

I have a 19" crt and a 17" LCD. The crt will do 1600x1200. I'll give it a try.

I just got a new computer. Dell XPS, 3.6 Ghz, 256mb GeForce 6800 GT, 2 gigs of RAM. You would not believe what X2 looks like. It’s amazing. I ran the demo with everything max, 4x antialiasing, 4x anisotropic at 1280x1024 and got 50 fps overall. And don’t even get me started on Halflife 2. I finally ...

But the problem is not the just the Xenon respawning, there is no way to defeat the Xenon or Khaak because what ever you do they always come back, and that kills the game. I would argue that not having them come back kills the game. If you're going to go that far, why not turn off pirate base respa...

I didn’t want to script out the Khaak because they game needs adversity. And it never was possible to wipe them out altogether. The Xenon were a different story. I DID wipe them out and wanted them to stay dead. I built my empire on that assumption. No, I didn’t go through hundreds of posts to see i...

I don’t have any stations in the Xenon sectors, but I do have a number that are close. My ships move through often. There seems to be no force I can muster to keep them at bay. It is almost overwhelming. I would have to abandon all the stations I have that are close enough to have transports going t...

First of all, I got my moneys worth out of this game. So I am really not complaining. I am just disappointed that I never really got a chance to go as far as I would have liked (X-treme rank). And because of the following “problem” I won’t bother with the expansion. Here is the problem: In my origin...

I fly with an X-45 and I use a Thrustmaster Tactical Pad in place of the keyboard. I have many macros programmed in so I can hit a single key and do several things at once.

I think this is the third time in this thread this has been mentioned, but Freelancer has a first person option. Ctrl V puts you in the cockpit. Not much of a cockpit, but enough to make it first person.

For the record, there is a cockpit view in Freelancer, so it isn't a third person game.
I play them both, I like them both.

Have you installed the new glaxay trader script? If so, your traders must be level 8 or better, they must have Fight software I and II (I think), and you should read the readme file.

I was talking about the autopilot that repeatedly runs into stations, docks, other ships and asteroids. The same autopilot that stops dead in the water when your ship is attacked. Like I said, paint-huffing crack baby stupid.

Get used to it. The autopilot is crack baby stupid.

You better check his "friend or foe" setting to make sure the Boron aren't set to foe now.

Let me qualify that statement. Pirates can be captured; 100% rate. The rule doesn’t apply to Khaak or BBS missions. I have had literally hundreds of Khaak surrender to my Oddy with my old game. I was Supreme Vet 57% and I had not bought the Khaak info. So many surrendered I just left them behind. I ...

I think I have seen my level 25 traders do the same thing. That is just being pragmatic. You don’t want him out there throwing money away.
