About how many people are staying loyal to X2 here?

Hi, I'm playing X2, vanilla game mostly, but some of the mods and scripts, depending on how much I feel like cheating...

Don't have X3 at this point because I'm not sure any of the graphics cards or processors in my computers would survive the attempt.

well my cousins graphics card outsprinted the recommended graphics card for this game i mean you could spawn ALOT of ships in the same sector and it wouldnt lag throw it on x3 and it lags like mad i recommend top top top top notch graphics card

im currently playn x2

in x3 i really didnt like they removed race colours, i mean:

Argon - Cyan engine trails and colours

Boron - Blue engine trails and glow and blue ships (Water like)

Paranid - Orange trails and glow and kinda of orange ships and sector background

Split - Red coloured glows and trails and red background and ships (Blood like colour)

Teladi - Green trails and glows and kinda greenish background and ships. (Green - colour of money). Oh and boron also had some green backgrounds.

These colours maked the races more unique and gived them more personality and something to recognize them by

Tried the X3 demo... it stutters a lot, and messed up my system. personally, I'm blaming starforce for that bit, (WHY WOULD YOU COPY PROTECT A DEMO?!?) so unless the actual game works better, (Yes, I know they've removed the starforce CP since version 2, it's general performance that I'm thinking about) I'll be leaving it alone till I can justify shelling out $200-250 to make one of the computers able to cope, in the interim, I've been trying to modify some of the scripts that have been released to make them play nice together... does anybody know any tricks to manage this? I have made some initial attempts, but I seem to be messing it up for the most part.

got X2 almost a year ago, now i just barely started playing it. i came from from playing ELITE in the 80's. i like X2 a lot and im sure it'll occupy my time (from now on i hope) for a while. im also thinking about what kind of mods i would like to see in my game, and now searching for some - something not so 'invasive'.

i dont have X3 so i cant really compare.

I'm still palying x2, no for a fact that x3 will chew up my laptop - The best thing about x2 is that there are so many mods out there that the replayability of the game is amazing, will definatly be playing x2 for some time yet.
Will eventually get x3 and TC but will wait until i can afford a pc with all the trimmings to play them smoothly. My only grumble with the x-series is that they require top spec systems to play them.

Okay, I'm not sure how many people were interested by my idea of the full pirate universe for Top Gun 3.0, but if there are any, this is for you:
My computer crashed yesterday, and I lost my entire galaxy map, all 56 sectors

. So, I started up again, and at the rate I'm going at, the entire map should be done by Mayish.
Anyway, in this one, you start in Argon Prime, the once life-filled Argon Homeworld.
Now, it has the following:
A huge asteroid field in the Southern part of the sector, and ship and station debris scattered all over the place.
There are about 8 stations, including a Pirate owned Shipyard and Pirate Base, as well as a neutral-race-owned Split EQ dock that has all your basic needs. There's several other stations, including a SPP, a Crystal Fab, a SQUASH Fact, and a Ore Mine.
It also has a Pirate-owned Split Elephant idling around, and a Pirate-owned Xenon J that is filled with 107 Pirate ships (yeah, it only holds 100, but I accidentally went overboard).
I'm not quite finished with Home of Light, but it will have a huge Pirate Blockade, as well as a massive Kha'ak sector to the East (they took over President's End), and the Xenons own Red Light.
This map will be really hard to survive in, as there are Pirate, Xenon, and Kha'ak sectors EVERYWHERE (about 145 of 150 or however many sectors there are), and there will be 5 sectors owned by the other races, which will be filled with M1's, M2's, and M6's.
It'll be sooo much fun when it's done.

Removed double posts for you - Cycrow

Sounds like fun

But one post would've been enough

SWAHILI!!! · Post by **SWAHILI!!!** » Sun, 2. Mar 08, 14:28

Whoops, I didn't realize that I double posted.

Okay, I've added 5 more sectors, I'm working on Power Circle at the moment, then I'll working on Three Worlds.
This map is going to be impossible when it's done, but when I finish it, a bit of advice: as soon as you start the game, head North as quickly as possible, going straight for Three Worlds, as that'll be the first Boron stronghold. I reccommend that you use many cheat scripts, such as ones for money so you can get yourself a ship that's actually powerful, like a M6 or something.
Oh, and stay away from Ore Belt. That's a major pirate sector, there are 6 capital ships there, so I reccomend you stay away from it!

Do you know this one?

SWAHILI!!! · Post by **SWAHILI!!!** » Sun, 2. Mar 08, 15:42

Yeah, what about it???

Dante1988 · Post by **Dante1988** » Sun, 2. Mar 08, 15:44

You could have used it

But I am going to stop spamming before a Mod gets the idea to kick my ass

SWAHILI!!! · Post by **SWAHILI!!!** » Sun, 2. Mar 08, 17:48

Okay, since Dante1988 suggested I use this, here's the latest update:

Spoiler

Show

This is what I've added so far:

1 Fully Equipt Split Starfighter to the Weapon Component Fact. in Three Worlds. Try to survive your way to there, then you can get a good M3 and start blowing the crap out of all the enemies.
4 More Sectors, including Kingdom End, Cloudbase Northwest, Ringo Moon, and The Hole (It's actually made to look like there's a black hole at the bottom of the sector, with 4 planets placed so they look like they're falling into a pit of darkness).
3 More Pirate Capital Ships added to Ore Belt.

Here pretty soon, I'll start working on Brennan's Triumph and those sectors.

What do you think?

SWAHILI!!! · Post by **SWAHILI!!!** » Mon, 3. Mar 08, 02:52

Would all replies now be added to the Galactic Piracy Guild Map for Top Gun 3.0 Here.
Thanks!

i'd definently get it, x2 vanilla is great, but once you discover the modding possibilities, it seems boring, so i'd love to get it. keep working!

What keeps X2 on top is the ability to capture the khaak m3
