yep although i'd much rather see some kind of countermeasures implemeted as ECM (at least IRL) is pretty much useless as soon as the missile get a lock. it's more for avoiding being shot at

yeah - trying to disable it by mouse can be tiresome, try pressing F5. but i think it will turn itself on again eventually. at least you don't have to fight the interface that way

yeah, i found them annoying, too. being a falcon 4 fan i am used to applying specific techniques when i get locked up but in this game it is pretty much all about trying to circle the missile until it runs out of fuel... I'd LOVE to see missile being implemented properly; imo that meas proper interc...

There's not a single program I know of which hasn't been pirated - from £10 budget games to £3,500 graphics rendering packages. actually i'm pretty sure VBS1 ( http://www.virtualbattlespace.com/ ) has not been pirated ;) they use a very secure system using usb sticks and serial numbers afaik. very ...

teladi stations take weed but only 40 or so and i got about 800 units off that trader so i have to go touring the universe to transform it into credits. i wonder if something like that also happens with other cargo? anybody alse had this happen?

Try placing factories in other Races Sectors where they are needed. I haven't had a Wheat Farm in Boron Territory become unprofitable for instance

I recently purchased a law-enforcement-license from the boron and went to atreus clouds to get a few nice deals with illegal cargo from ships coming from the pirate station there.Sure enough there were a few freighter leaving the pirate station and heading north. i quickly targeted one of them and w...

yes, thats very unfortunate. but my intent wasn't really to get a fix for my problem, since it really doesn't affect me too much, but to report this so it gets fixed as soon as possible. i hoped someone would reply that they are investigating the issue and/or working on a fix...

thanks, i'll try that asap. although i have my doubts this is causing the game to crash only at this single occasion... i'll post the results of the test once i'm done. edit: as i suspected the problem remains. however i found out that the problem is not that i destroyed any Xenon L but rather one p...

As the title says - i destroyed, or rather i am about to detroy a Xenon L in Blue Snout (i think) with my mako and just as it is about to explode i get a ctd. i made a save shortly before i get into that fight and it keeps happening when i reload. i can easily destroy the M's without crashing, it se...

some sectors are a whole lot bigger than the x2 ones and also a lot more assymetrical(sp?)

I think, considering that Egosoft are German, that the English game is the one with the "translated names". i read the game was done in english first and then translated.. at least the dialog was. don't know about the names tho. Not 100% sure, but either The Wall or Home of Light is called "Line of...

Hm, in the society I am currently living in it is no problem to post a poster with "Callgirl" printed on it on a wall in 6 foot letters in the middle of the city. We had a movie called "Der Wixxer", the posters were posted everywhere without anybody giving a damn about it. I would not dare to trans...

i know for a fact that the ai is building factories - just not as much and as many as some of us would have liked. the lack of transparancy behind the logic that dictates when and what the ai is building got some people confused i think. it may seem random and very rare for some players while for ot...

i just got myself a ram upgrade mainly for work but i would like to know what kind of performance increase i can expect in games - especially x3. my current rig: athlon xp 3.2+ (fsb 200mhz) geforce 6800LE (all pipes unlocked) 1024mb 133mhz (266 DDR) (1x512, 2x256) partially dual channel i am getting...

now there's something i was always curious about. unlike the original poster i heard about performance issues with eax in other games as well. some i have experienced myself. now the way i understand it is that todays soundcards have their own sound processor on board (much like the gfx cards have a...

call me stupid, but what exactly am i supposed to look for in that pic?

several tips: - get yourseft a triplex scanner - follow other ships around - try to find alternative routes (eg. if your trying to find the east gate, try finding an alternative route to the sector that lie to the east) - not sure about the sensor ranges of navsats/adv. navsats, but if they are bett...

Well, the max speed of the astronaut is 12m/sec = 12x3.6km/h = 43.2km/h. You ain't gonna live through such impact even on earth. actually i once got hit by a car doing about 40km/h - not even a broken leg, just some bad bruises(sp?) but i think i got real lucky :) but i was told it looked really sc...

hehe - and don't let yourself get talked into a game of blackjack... i lost about 500.000cr before i came to my senses
