Can't believe your ditching an M5 for an M6 so early, especially for one so slow. Let alone only have 1MJ shield which is the equivalent of tissue paper. The IRE's are good in mass but not against anything bigger than an M3. Second off, in an M6 you are greatly restricted to where you can dock and d...

Yeah, saw that a week or so ago else where. I could see it now, someone writes a song about sleeping under a martian palm tree. Would be a great country hit.

The games use the same graphics engine and much of the basics but they redid most of it to allow for better mission development, which worked in my opinion to make the universe actions less predictable. The CR script was origanally created by a player, not Egosoft, but it was later added to X3-R wit...

Funny and scary at the same time.

I've seen notices through work about hacked email's so I rather be safe than sorry when something like this happens. Most of my passwords have been changed to a pattern similar to what is required at work, which is a pain in the bottom to remember. When I got this particular email, I had to sit and ...

As of today I can now dock and buy Paranid ships again. I still don't have the race relations to buy another Deimos if I wanted to. I've added plankton farm and stott mixery to my ore belt complex. I own my own Mammoth now. Currently trying to finish the next mission for the Gonors, by bringing them...

I don't have the equipment to cap a Capital ship at this time, let alone the properly trained boarding team. I decided to use a prior save and try to build up my resources before trying the mission again. I have even bought up all the mass drivers in the universe for the few fully armed Argon ships ...

Happy New Year.

Here is hoping to coming across a significant other for myself this year.

Hat, I received an email from your hotmail account saying: "Hello , i know this might sound odd to you but i really need your help asap i dont mean to inconcinience you i made a quick trip to uk this weekend from minnesota for a quick business trip and i lost all my belongings got stolen ! i re...

Merry Christmas! I've returned to my parents place for a few days. Have had less time with them this year since starting my job. Miss the old days when my Brother was a part of the gatherings. But he is off with his own family. I know soon I will not be able to come back to my parents like I have do...

I don't have an account with that site but getting all of the X-coms for $5 is really tempting. As a young kid, I lost many nights, days, and maybe even months playing the original X-com. Only got another one later on, Apocalypses I think, but it didn't have the same feel as the original. Maybe late...

Actually, any M2 would probably work if their fully loaded with PPC's in the main slots and at least one side. Since a PPC does a huge load of damage, about 64k to shields and 11k to hull per shot and have about 6km range, on top of what my current forces can do then the battle would be easy probabl...

Huston.... we have a problem, and it's callad a Kha'ak M2. AAAAHHHHHHHHH! First off, let me state I bought a bigger ship, the Paranid Deimos. It has done very well and is well on the way to paying itself back. Even with the much larger shield and weapon generators it still can't handle the Kha'ak M2...

Here is a picture of my combat fleet as it stands right now: http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/5291/x3screen00389.th.png http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/5291/x3screen00389.png Two of the Terran ships were bought, the other two were given as noted in a prior post. The ship on the left side of the...

Today I did my first attempts at boarding ships out in space. First two times ended with success, even though each time I lost a marine. So here is what I captured today by boarding: 1 Pirate Caravel and captured one of the fighters it launched, a Nova with shields 1 Pirate Caravel with all weapons ...
