Hey man, Falcon Haulers are useful for the price, and for non-combat applications....just not the other Falcons (except maybe the Sentinal). I thought the Skiron was pretty good, and it is, if you don't need to turn anywhere. Once you do, good luck getting your forward guns on anything smaller than...

Oh that's just bad luck! I've never really got into using missiles, even after some Squiddy inspiration. Might give them a try later on!

I hate it when some superstar marine dies in an operation, but the value of the ship usually offsets it. Still, it's time consuming to train a new guy up!

Never mind, it's the price we pay!

This could be true, actually. But I'm not sure!

My first boarding attempt ended in complete and abject failure. All marines dead, and no ship. So yeah, these things happen. Life goes on. Well, not for the marines, but for you it does.

Reload, or hope there is a nearby pirate base to hack it for you.

I've started to quite enjoy boarding now, and as a result, I've made a fair few failed attempts. 1. Inadvertently IonD-ing my marines 'til they go 'pop' inside their space suits, while trying to keep the shields down. 2.Crashing into my target just after deploying marines and dropping the shields, t...

lols, you put it quite nicely. it can be a real shame to lose a 5-star marine with no combar experience though (since you'd have to go through the bother of training another one up), i'd train them to rank 3 in either hacking or mechanical each and cap some easy targets with them. those who get 4 s...

"various skills" don't really concern casualties. they need to be good fighters to survive. Ahh I see. So they go in thinking "I can cut through this hull like a knife through butter, and I'll keep it nice and intact. Just you wait, core, I'll hack you like I'm logging into hotmail." And then sudde...

Mine were partially trained in various skills, and I lost two. I'm training 5 up to as high as I can go in everything now, before my next attempt!

So I just did managed my first successful boarding! A pirate osprey with 10% hull, and 8X ISRs. But that PAINT JOB! It even has a little skull under the bridge! I couldn't bear to part with it, so I put a hair-clip on my ctrl key and fixed it up, and kitted it out. I'm quite enjoying it :) So what'r...

I was exploring veil of delusion and got totally obliterated by reams of pirates spewing endless death bolts. I suppose the pirates end up falling back to quieter places, but they still come out to play now and then.

Go to the center of the sector and then go directly east. If you dont find it on the gravidar, it's probably been obliterated by a patrol.

I have an LX I capped during the last terran mission. I didnt go and claim it for ages afterwards! I have it inside my Elephant, and I use it to resupply energy cells. I haven't kitted it out yet, just has a shield and cargo bay extensions.

That's really good! I'd like to see that flying round the X-universe.

I never finished the story, but I am planning on starting a new, drama related story, which is more personal than epic. It'll be about slaves in the X3 universe. I'll post it once I've gotten started, so you can all have a preview.

extra ram always helps, I think it gives a fairly large advantage on Bf2 so on X3 it will too

I can sell rotting 10 year old argnu. To vegetarians.
