Best X3 Screenshots!

Marlin,

What do you have for armament for the Heavy Hydra? I see you have two versions firing off.

That thing looks too cool. I am going to purchase one tonight and start running it and see what its like.

I'll like to park it next to a Heavy Nemesis and check the size comparison. The HN looks huge, but actually isnt. Its more of a corvette class. Looks massive..

That Hydra though is just darned awesome looking...

I don't know Bill, but it really cool looking as it's firing off as you can see the 'bullets' spinning as they zip away. (made it with the Cycrow cheat menu)

I deleted that ship as I didn't buy it yet, but it is truly a cool looking beast! (Ohhh ra for Boron technology!)

Looks cool from the cockpit too!

Sweet mother of Teladinimium Bill, that is one sweet lookin ship.

Markin, those Boron vessels are so cool looking it makes you want to go in for a race-change just to have them. But that station you built looks like my dentist's Novocain syringe and needle on steroids. :bump:


Great screenshots guys. :applause:
 
Well I finally got out for a little fun last night - well it was actually very early morning... and went "Q" hunting, I had a good day actually, got my limit for the day and went home satsified, here are a couple of quick shots of the Heavy Nemesis in action and a Q byting the dust...

If you look close at the lower left you can see my Heavy coming around after the attack run, and the final shot is the end of the Q, with the Nemesis a safe distance away, this was a Hammerhead hit so I wanted to be well outside the blast zone.
 
Wow, that's a big un Mike. Glad to hear you eliminated it. :applause:

I've been doing some patrol missions to make a few credits over the past 3 days. My last one for tonight put me up against a bunch of Xenon ships. Some I've been up against before but this one was a first for me. I only got one screenshot of it...... I was too busy to get anymore darn it. This thing was big, a Xenon K. I'm going to post it in the "Know Your X3 Enemy" thread too later on.... it's kind of a recognition manual. ;)
 
Awesome shots Mike! You must have used monitor view and had it rotated to see your ship. ingenius!

I love to see a Xenon heavy get wiped out. Evil buggers.... They are also very difficult to take down.


@Gary,

That sounds pretty cool. Would be great for nub's.

Those K ships are grim. From what Mike says, they arent just carriers for Xenon fighters, they are space born fighter factories, able to create new ships onboard, which explains how they just keep spitting out ships...


Bill
 
Well, I can admit here that I didn't actually "shoot" it down..... I ran into it while shooting at it and it blew up. Actually I ran into it 3 times. LOL Still got 332,000 credits tho for the killl. :d

I'm not an Assassin fer nuthin you know. :bump:
 
OK I dug out the X52 and the Zboard and got some stick time in space last evening, man it was ugly, I can't believe how quickly I lost my touch - got my BUTT kicked everywhere I went. A couple pirates gave me a total A$$ WOOPIN just for trying to come into the sector... Oh well I am going to get back in the saddle now and teach them a thing or 3. I did grab a few interesting screen shots, these are from the Transend Reloaded mod, (Ireally hope that makes the Superbox).

These first 3 are some new ships and a gate from Transcend.

This shot is one of the Add On Ships I have installed, one of the guys on the XUniverse Forum did some really neat ships, I will try and post the F14 and DC9 later.

I am having problems with the drives for my Fang so I am grounded right now, but as soon as I get that resolved I am going back to kick some Pirate BUTT. I have to say the AMS and Transcend Mods are where I spent most of my time, and Bill you are so right this game has and continues to amaze me with where it has and is going. A few of the Mods (Battle Star Glaactia, Transcend, DDTC, etc.) are pretty much new games, the key commands and a few of the ships are the same but after that it is all new.

I have to say X3 is very much like "FS in space" in many ways, totally open ended, and tones of addon's, which is one of the reasons I will still be playing both 5 years from now.
 
Cool shots Gig:

I miss my X3 game,
I haven't played it in a long while.....
This game made me stress free :)
I just don't have time to de-stress :(

Thanks for sharing, everyone!
 
Don't feel bad Chacha. I haven't play X3TC in a long time..... over 3 months now. Too busy for the time being, but when things slow down with the business I'll be back at it. Maybe even a little Silent Hunter 5 too. I love blowin things up...... on the computer that is. ;)

Same here ChaCha. I am with you and Gary both. Ive been so busy trying to get things done that I havent had a chance to put in some space flight time.. arrgh..


Soon.

You know, they are developing that one game that will enable you to go into planets atmospheres and fly over terrain and land...! That will be pretty nice. I wonder how they are doing with that.
