Great writing Merc!! Can't wait to read the final story.

Just out of curiosity, I downloaded the .pdf files of the first 2 stories, and was wondering if the third was available.

Great Job. The only thing I would add is that sometimes you can "Scare" them out of there ships. I have captured in my Nova with 2xBHEPT. I dropped down behind a Pirate Ship (TS) and opened fire. I was working on being able to dock with paranid, and when it go down to 50% (didn't take too long) he b...

My personal advice: RESTART :D I played through the first time and did descent. I didn't have a huge trading empire, or a large armada of ships, but I realized a little about how X2 worked, and I'm doing much better in my current game. Of course, this could also be because I'm a recovering SETA abus...

So the reason that people like the Boron, is cause the will always like you and you don't have to do anything to earn their respect. That's why I chose the split, they are friendly enough, if you prove that you are worth the ship you are flying in. :split: :split: :split: :split: :split: :split: :sp...

Once again, a very good read. I look forward to the next part.

Do you mean: The when you go go to Brennan's Triumph? If so, it in the middle of the cloud in the sector. (Big Purple thing in the middle, can't miss it.) You will have to leave your ship and get within a couplle meters of eash nacelle and then a cutscene will play. OH!!! And don't forget to get rid...

I has to pick Split, they are the only race that makes 25mw shields! Alsoi, I think their M1 and M2 look awesome.

I couldn't have put it better my self!!

Argon. I feel shame that the only representatives of our species to the other races only represents American culture. I kind of agree. I am an American, and I think it is more than a little wierd that a German company makes a great space sim, and makes the only humans very American (rather than say...

POOP!

I go on vacation for a month in 16 days, guess I won't get to see much of what 1.4 has to offer until after that. Of course, since I'm going home to see the family, and they will still have to work, and they have a descent computer........

Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it.

For future reference, you can also make pretty descent money in the boron sectors, as wheat is a secondary resource for plankton, and there are no wheat factories in Boron space, as it is Argon food. There is a lot of the cross food in most sectors and is an easy way to make steady, money, as you do...

Is it worth having her around in the Xenon sector, or does she just get in your way?

Legal talk for "If you talk, I'll have to kill you!!"

Not sure how much of a spoiler this is, but just in case :D Just a question, I have chosen to go with Saya on the Red Route, put I have Explored all the way to Lucky Planets. If I jump there, she isn't any where around? Do I need to follow here all the way, or if I wait around long enough, will she ...

I was 12 when my parents bought the first PC my family had, a horrible Tandy RL-1000. (8086 I believe), and I played the heck out of an old DOS space sim (sorta) Star Control. At that age, I definately liked the computer more. But 11 hours a day?? My parents would have shot me!! :o Don't worry, when...

512 ram Thats most likely your problem if your running XP on that box if you upgraded to a gig you'd probably see abig difference. My current box is a p4 2.8, 2 gigs ram with a ati 9800pro and it takes a lot going on in sector before I see any slowdowns at all. In the post 'Some tips on performance...

I believe he is looking for 125 not 25, and 125 I believe is a Argon station.

Not 100% sure, but just to warn you, unless you need hundreds of the things, it isn't going to save you any money.
