You may get a message box up, just click ok.


You should now see the directx diagnostic tool. Under the sound tab there will be slider for Hardware Sound Acceleration Level. You can change that here.

You may be getting refused assasination missions because you rank is below the required rank for the assasination. It usually tells you what rank you need to be on the lower right hand side of the BBS.

Nice site.

LordSuch has written an app to help in placing factories.....

It's written in .NET so you will need the .NET Framework.

Excellent utility - very useful.

A good place to start is reading is TD'S excellent guide to SPPs for some good places.

I'm running the uk version patched to 1.3 and I have no problems getting them in sizewell.

*Bump*

Good Work

I just use something simple like this: KE-BDSPP1S From that I can tell its from (KE) Kingdom End, it's a BD (Boron Dolphin) working out of SPP1 (Solar Power Plant 1) and is (S)elling goods. If it is a ship buying goods all you need to do is change S to B and a letter to indiate the goods, so: KE-BDS...

Ahhh, I see, sorry for starting another "is it here yet" thread. I blame Steel myself.

I ask because the 1.3 issues thread seems to have dissapeared, as has the 1.3 released thread?

This might be off topic, i use 1600*1200 on a 19" monitor which i found gives better result's than lower res with antialise on, anyone else found this the same? Personally i think AA is a waste of time at higher res, comments? I agree, having AA on a very high res does seem a bit pointless and you ...

Like he said....fly within 5 km of the squash mines and target with page up - page down,and use Mosquito's (two per mine IIRC) to take them out. You may have to fly around a little to get them all.

Yea, it usually says something like, "you will be rewarded -610234 for your efforts". Something like that, but always shown as a negative number.

WOW are there really missions that pay in the millions!!!? I've never really bothered looking at the Notice boards as every time i've looked in the past in just seems to be pages and pages of waffle with the occasional, take from this sector to another sector for 1000 credits (not worth the bother!...

I've had one for about 2.2 million - very nice. Hope they fix the negative rewards in the upcoming patch.

Maybe this belongs in another post, but it is worth saying. All along, Egosoft have had a dream to make the best space sim they ever could. X-BTF started it, it wasn't perfect by any means. X-Tension polished X-BTF off, especially in the later stages. But more work was required. Technology advances...

Perhaps they won't downgrade any of your TP/XL ships, only new ones. I hope.

OMG work, I forgot all about that!

It's only been a few months...I wonder if anyone missed me....

IMHO that's BAD news, because it means the game is going to be online only. I totally agree that online only is a really bad thing. Also three years have gone since it was put on hold and there is no telling how much was written, how much needs to be updated and how much still needs to be writtento...

Regarding Elite 4, I just emailed Frontier and got this reply: "We suspended development on the next Elite game early in 2001 as we were not happy with the on-line infrastructure that existed at that time, upon which the game design depended. Development of the game is being restarted at the moment,...

While in Black Hole Sun I spotted a bounty mission in the Free Argon Trading Station worth -320431

Fot testing purposes I accepted the mission and upon completion the credits were taken from my account.

I have the Autosave from docking at the station if anyone wants it.
