wooo hoooooo!
Docking at the main Argon Free Trade Station. I never get tired of looking at those things. Sometimes I try to fly between those huge rotating arms when I accellerate away from them (stations). I have been hit though, lol....
Mason, if you get a chance, go out into space in your ship and stop, aim your craft at the planet and just watch the clouds move. They have shadows on the planet's surface, and the work itself will be turning slightly a different direction. The planet is also bump mapped and has 3D mountain ranges and craters.
If you get as far as finding Earth and the Terran sectors, you have to find Jupiter and check it out. it has stripes of mini hurricanes going in the opposite direction of the planets rotation.. Wild stuff. .

It is either Shft H or Ctrl H to turn off all the HUD symbols.
Don't forget, you can get out of your ship and fly around with your camera. To view the outside without having to actually get out, F2 and 8 2 6 4 on the keypad to move the camera + and - to move the camera closer and further.
Congrats on getting it going.

Gonna try another pic ...Not sure where this is, I forget what its called..But its cool...
Outstanding HM
This one is for Bill and I titled it "GUNS"
This one is titled, "Claiming another one"
It sure is nice to get out of the cramped cockpit and fly around freestyle in space every once and a while if only to claim a new ship or repair the damage.
I hope you like em.
EDIT; I forgot to mention that there are still two gun slots that are not filled yet.

Yes!!!!
In FS, this would be that walk around program....
Getting out and being able to see the shear size and mass of these craft in a personal sense, like walking around a plane..
I did that tonight twice.. Its always a rush..

Man...I like *Guns* cool looking ship....
Took a few shots tonight while out looking for 'boogahs'..
Took possesion of a pirate fighter craft from a pirate that wanted life more then death in a ball of fire. Fixed it up, installed some nice equipment. Tuned its engine and retro's, then I took that thing for a hyper jump to the farthest point accross the Galaxy and toodled around a bit, then returned to base and parked it to the HQ fighter defense fleet.
Love it... :d

OK here is my latest addition the Heavy Centaur, talk about a nice ship...
This thing rocks, it is loaded for Bear, and has a good size cargo hold, the speed is not quite as fast as the Vidar, but this thing is nice, and check out the scanner dish on the lower stern, I have not compared but I would say the scanning and com range is better on this ship, it looks like it has better gear on the outside any way.
In the attached shot I am bringing it back to my HQ to be ripped apart to make blueprints out of, I want a few of these in the fleet.
I am still working on preparing my fleets, I had to go with 2 seperate sectors and fleet groups, I ended up with the system grinding to a hault when I got too many of my own ships in one sector. It was not FPS, it was MPF (Minutes per frame...lol) I guess I have been collecting too many ships and got carried away, I am getting rid of the junkers now and putting things in order to start the GiGa-Campaign "Ultimate Control" of the XUniverse" well that or domonation of a sector or two at least...lol

Hey George,
This game came out years ago, evidently, from Germany, and is the 3rd generation version. X, then X2, then X3 Reunion, now X3 Terran Conflict.
It takes place perhaps several hundred years in the future where Argon Prime is the second Earth, far on the other side of the Galaxy, and the Terran system is Earth and we are rediscovering Earths people (in this version of the game).
Its much like FS, except that it has some more features. Besides AI and being able to fight the bad guys, (and be attacked) you can also haul freight (like air freight) and can create bases (like airports), etc.. .
Pretty cool game if you like freedom of choosing what you want to do that evening and not be stuck on rails.. (explore, create a base, haul freight, make money, mine, haul people around, fight pirates and evil aliens, etc).
Good fun...
One game these days is between $10.00 and $20.00, and the gold box package (Reunion and Terran Conflict) is about $30.00 these days, US Dollars.

Great shots gent
Tonight I cranked up the cheat menu and made some ship specifically for screenshot purposes and came up with these so far.
"Repairing the Damage"
"I SEE YOU"
By the way I destroy the ships after I get done with them, even though I really don't want to. Except of course for the Skate
Bill, is that a Kia in the shot above? (mean machine)

George, go to this site..... http://apricotmappingservice.com/X3TCdownloads/
This site has lots of good mods to add in if you decide to buy and play the sim, so save it if you want.
Then download this story, "X3TC-AlfieUK-SquiddyTXT.zip ", of one guys experience with X3TC. It'll give you an idea of the trials and tribulations of playing. Note tho that normal game experience is not like this.... he made it the way it is for him.... harder than someone would normally play. I do like his concept tho, you make it as hard or as easy as you want. This took him thru 66 days of game play.
I believe you could actually play the same way he did, tho the results could be somewhat different?
Side note: This is in PDF format and is easy to read.

Man.. I dont remember, lol.. It was 2 nights ago. I'll have to check my station. Its on the HQ defense wing.
That bigger ship that you are shown welding / repairing, that thing is pretty darn exotic looking.... Very nice. How does it hold up against Xenon fighters?
Bill
I finally found the Piranid Heavy Nemesis for sale at a shipyard!!! arrgh.. I still had 3 hours left on the reverse engineering, so I decided to buy one. I think it was 11 or 14 million, and I have been working my boooom off, so I got it.
Youre right Mike, its one awesome ship. I went out and hunted pirates and did quite well. Made it home in one piece.
I tried a few jobs tonight after hunting, and man, I couldnt get anything delivered on time. At one point, I took a job to return an abandoned ship, small Dolphin class freighter. The thing barely runs, and I am running out of time. The last time this happened, the police destroyed it. Well, that happens almost every time now. But thinking quick, I dispatch the Iguanna Vanguard from HQ, have it free jump to me. I bail out in my space suit and begin trekkiing over to the Iguanna, lololol.... I got in and punched it through the gate. As I was departing the system, the radio says my ship is being attacked, and sure enough, the police blasted the Dolphin, lol..
Quick escape..
Photos of the new Heavy Nemesis, loaded with armament..

I have no idea how it would hold up to anything Bill, I don't even know if it has shields or not.
I loaded that up from the cheat menu for screenshot purposes only. That is the Heavy Hydra in case you didn't know.
But I can tell you that this one salvo takes down almost 100% of my Skates shields (3x 25MJ generators) and spins it around in circles.
Great great shots of that heavy nemesis. Just like it's little brother, that is one evil/mean/awesome looking machine. I hope you post more screenshots of it in action
