none of the saves are read-only, and i havent ever written them onto another medium, these are files i have only just saved and tried to reload immediately. this isnt an on-off thing every single 1.4 save file doesnt work. all my old saves that havent been saved over still work. the save files are a...

I have never had a problem with x2 until patch 1.4, now every game i save is corrupt (although not recognized by program) and loading will freeze at loadscr. Unlike all my other save games with have the patch version named alongside the savegame name, all the 1.4 patches have is a'*', is this normal...

Don't go back to previous save, i did exactly the same thing you did, including blowing up the xenon station and it just took a very long time fo that sector to refill. I tried to see what the problem was by visiting the xenon shipyard and i found that all the capital ships it had built were busy fi...

BBS mission, such as bounty hunter, become harder the higher your combat rankings. The enemies get better weapons and much faster than normal.

Where do you get the camouflage device or is this a joke?

I had a sneaking suspicion there would be some reason you couldnt hack the xenon shipyard, would have been nice if you could have though.

Perseus or orinoco because of the power of the beta psg.

Xenon K is the best M2 hands down

It is a shame you can't buy them

Try station hacking the shipyard from a pirate base, you just have to repeatedly kill pirate bases till one appears withing 3 sectors.

Have to, rubbish. I know a way which is no longer than that route, which doesn't involved going through any Xenon sectors. Maybe "Have to" was a bit strong, but if you do decide to go the red route and actually dont know where omicron lyrae is, you normally end up just following saya hence ending u...

Who voted for the anti social option, own up now.

I know that there is an unusable clocking device to be found in the game, but where is it?

I've already found an object with no name and use floating in khaak space that looks like a screen on a pole, is that it?

Ions on the iguana were purposeful because the split found out ions are good for capturing spaceflys.

They only have aire's because you will have to travel through that sector during the course of the story (if you destroy all of them they respawn at the shipyard with ppc's). Aire's are also better missile defence and you will probably notice that all its turrets are set to this. (i think you can ch...

What camouflage device? and i hope your not referring to the useless piece of junk in khaak space that you can find.

Get the odysseus, no its not versatile, but its the best m2 (accepted by everyone) at clearing sectors because of its overly powerful gamma psg's. You will have to switch to gamma ppc's in friendly sectors because the ody has a habit of making enemies lol. But seriously its also cheaper to purchase ...

Falcon is amazing for capturing ships, just try using the alpha psg, ion D, combination.

Works wonders.
(the orinoco is good for this too, but i hate its appalling turning. I managed to capture a 'super' falcon anyway with over 160 ms speed.

I wouldnt object to the strafe drives capabilities if ai ships used it too, but do they? no. This is rather rediculous because in a universe of thousands of ships yours is the only one that actually uses a strafe drive. Currently if you have a strafe drive you can take out any capital ship with a pe...

What do you mean 11 turrets??????

The most lasers i got to fire at one target in my odysseus is 9, if the python can can fire 11 at once then maybe it is worth getting (it would explain why it only has 2 front lasers).

How ironic everyone else puts up threads complaining about the overkill of the osprey and then someone puts up a thread saying its sh** completely contrary to everyone else. I think he's having a laugh.

The original ultima online method was best. Treat 'criminals' (eg. pkers) as they are in real life. If you kill someone you become a criminal until someone kills you for your crimes. If they are found in a town and someone alerts the guards then the guards come and kill them. They are also free game...
