Okay, so I couldn't hold it off anymore.
I'm playing X now. I've thingywhipped Hardwar so badly it hurts. I've completed a few of the challenges, I'm so good at dogfighting it's almost not fun unless my radar looks like a schizophrenic clock and my hold is full of heavy materials and I'm driving a S-Y or Moon Moth.
Who else plays X? I have 1 and 3 and Bala Gi and Terran Conflict right here, but I remember the plot of X1 in its' entirety so I think I'll skip it... many long nights logged playing that waiting for my chip factory's production cycles to roll around so I can cart them to the trade station.
Damn good times. I miss them.

I have X3, and so does someone else, I don't know if it is the combat (If I die a ten deaths in three hours I cry foul) or the lack of a storyline for the most part, I never really got into it, though I do love space fighters and love the general concept, being able to build stations is cool, but I never learned how to do it properly, and never had the patience to learn it.
As far as Hardwar goes, I know things I can not tell anyone, less, I ruin the game for everyone. ^^;
For example, if Timiski still had his server up, and the Hangar cost increases with every purchased hangar, I could own the majority of Downtown and still have money left. Hmm... Now I'm tempted to test how much the tenth or so Hangar would cost. :/

wow, pilot are you seriously suggesting x3's combat is too hard? you know you can just spin the ship and pull up slightly to become invincible to all but the flak shots and missiles right? And the turrets take care of the missiles. I've made a pretty large script mod since scripts were added to the game. (I have every x game ) And the thing with that community is that if your not a big name modder no one even tries your mods. I was working on a TC version and even posted a video showing what the scripts can do and it got 2 posts, heh... So I haven't really played the game since. You can see the post here: forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=297571&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=The video is long (it needed to be to show all the features in detail) but if you folks want to hear my sexy voice there you go. lol Hmm... how many here would be interested in the script if I let you folks be guinea pigs? I'm sure most people have TC if you play hardwar. I'm currently playing evochron right now, but all the ai ships spam missiles... it's like the developer uses missiles to inject artificial difficulty into dog fighting. It's highly annoying.

You should buy the combat software mk2,mk3, it has auto targeting.
And with my luck with women lately I wish I did have a stalker, I might actually have a longer, meaningful relationship with her... lol

I've had a stalker for about 20 years... Just lately she seems to have lost track of me and for some welcomed reason haven't discharged her crazy energy against my family again...

I got X3 (and X2) and love it. However, the story doesn't really pull you into itself like hardwar does. I played it for days/nights though.. Letting it run overnight to let the factories make some coins, to buy some factories/ships the next day. Dogfighting was one of the most fun things to do also slowly strafing to left/right/up/down while turning around was enough to make them miss all shots (besides missiles and flak indeed), or creeping and sticking into dead-spots of capital ships, just to find out that your firepower couldn't beat their shield-regeneration rate at 1/3 of their shields..

Ok, I'd read this, but... What the fuck is X!!! (?) It's a space combat/trading simulation. You can dogfight, trade, build factories and ships. Try the following link to get a better idea. It's worth a try Nice feature is the full freedom you have in roaming and trading. You can steer any ship there is (but you have to capture it first), from tiny fighters to capital ships. Also you can build your own trading-emperium with all sorts of mines and factories. www.youtube.com/watch?v=os98YXIfsl0

Sins of a Solar Empire... Bah, that game was bad, Fragile Allegiance is far superior. rotary, You can't fly everywhere, have you tried to reach the Earth from the Moon? Also if you don't ?have enough prestige? You will be murder on entry.

Why bad? Granted, the game gets boring once you get all the research has swindled. But at least you can watch as the ships fly through the area. And it looks great! :-)

I've played a lot of RTS and TBS games, so I may be quite jaded toward them.
