Check out the X3 site. They got all kinds of stuff there, including a forum. For Demigod: It looks awesome, but Stardock has pushed back the release date so they can circulate beta (big suprise there :p ). I cant wait for X3: TC and Demigod.

[quote]I also kinda dream of treating the cockpit like a windows desktop. I mean, some of the instrumentation boxes already have the X on them to close. Why not be able to drag them around to arrange the cockpits you our liking?[/quote] This would be interesting. It would be easier to see ships in the upper left screen corner. :LOL: By the way, did you read Forgboy/Draginol's dev journal about how Stardock, Ironclad, and Gas Powered Games are working together to create better

[quote]Why can't we have simple right/left click order/menus when you click on a ship/object on the map? Highlight some ships, click on an enemy - order to atack. Click on an asteroid - mine and collect, etc. RTS's have been doing this for alteast a decade, you'd think a 2005 game would have something similar.[/quote] Forgot to mention that I completely agree with this. Perhaps that is what will be in Terram Conflict, since it is not an expansion. X3 would be a hell of a lot easier to p

[quote]Now you all are making me want to dig out my old X2 copy and reinstall it, There goes my social life again...[/quote] :LOL: X2 is a lot of fun. I think X3 can be easier to use (the UI is somewhat better, but not much), so I usually in enjoy X3. Both are awesome games. Etrius

This is an interesting and funny thread. Okay, you have to look at the strengths and weaknesses of each side (and their commander). Lord Kona is an exetremely smart leader and tactictian, and the Drengin Empire has a very high level of technology and ships. They also have the production to easily replace destroyed ships. So, even though they are smaller the Galactic Empire, the Galactic Empire would have to go through countless ships to reach Drengi. On the other hand the Dren

KOTOR2 was fairly fun, it was just that the end was extremely rushed. When I see the Ebon Hawk fly off after defeating Kreia, and then seeing the credits, I'm like, "That's it??!!". Darth Nihilius was supposed to be the big bad guy, and you only see him once. Bioware should learn to put up with demanding publishers. Or better yet, move to Stardock! :) However, endless beta will certainly push back the release, but at least it will be complete.

I had a start where I had two economic resources, 1 research resource, and three high quality planets (qualities of 16, 20, and 26) One had a precursor factory. :LOL: Gave me a huge advantage!

[quote]Atmosphere is more of a minor thing, but its nice to actually leave the cockpit. X3 has it so you dock outside instead of inside the stations. So all you ever see is different overlays in your cockpit. Call me old or weird, but I think Privateer's station interiors helped out well with the atmosphere. You could see the different between a rich inner world and a hunk of asteroid with a mine. Also the places you visited were multifuntional[/quote] X2 had interior docking.

This has been on the web for a while now, but Egosoft is working on the sequel to 2005's X3: Reunion. For those of you who don't know, X3 is a space simulator, set in a far off section of the galaxy connected by jump gates. There are a ton of things to do in this game, and the graphics (even though they were in 2005) are better then most of today's games. I got the game last summer, and have been hooked ever since. A teaser video is availible in the download section at <A hre

[quote]Also, when you're "stretching the truth" about a product, you should really be prepared for people who will see through your "truths".[/quote] Yeah, yeah. Blizzard fans these days............. :NOTSURE: :p

[quote]No, he's not trying to be sarcastic. Check his previous thread ranting against Blizzard and Starcraft, and you'll see that he's just trolling against Blizzard on here. Perhaps he was banned from the Blizzard forums for trolling...[/quote] My previous thread was sarcasm, wise guy. To the rest of you, just because I stretch the truth with my opinion doesn't give you guys and excuse to lecture me. 'Nuff said.

Chapter 9 Altaria hung like a light blue and brown pearl in space. The Independence moved toward the planet, followed by the rest of the Vortex ships. The space above this planet was about to become a battlefield. Altaria had deployed their World Shields. These massive ships were mainly weapons platforms, designed to defend key planets in the Altarian Republic. Altaria currently had four in orbit. After Jim’s fleet arrived, they docked with one of the Shields. After dockin

[quote]The After Action Report forum. Basically its where people share their games. Most try to do it like a sci-fi novel and introduce random characters like ship captains and diplomats and the like to make it more interesting.[/quote] I didn't know it was called that, but you can also share fan fiction there, like I did.

I dunno about Kryo helping you. That guy has been out of the loop for some time now. He won't say what made the AAR forum disappear.
