Terran Conflict X3; Extreme Addiction!

Man, I am left out..... :isadizzy:

You guys have fleet and fleets...

I have to discipline my self to stay away from my addiction to Kh...K... I know I am depriving myself of goodnight sleep and rest... I still play TCX3, but not as much.... I have a dedicated day for that game, my simming has also suffered since I don't sim as much as I do...

Victory- a cool little beauty... has taken over TCX3 for a little bit.... and she is a fun aircraft... I am learning more about her a lot.... (oops sorry, I get carried away, should not talk about her that much!) :bump:
 
That is the truly amazing part of this, I've been a flight sim addict for about 10 years, and since I installed X3 (on a lark, just to see what the fuss was about!) I haven't opened any of the sims that used to be used daily...

Creating a trading empire and blast Xenon/Pirates/Khak in atoms is just to satisfying!
 
Pied, same here, you are not alone. LOL

I finally got the Key Controls for Reunion and TC printed out so they can be read. :d Now to search for my Wingman Extreme joystick that's still packed away.

Same here, lol.. Its a nice break from the usual.

This game seems alot like FS. I can do my own thing. It has a CFS built in, but I can explore, do business, etc.. Pretty cool...

You all have created a new addiction in my house! My alloted sleeping hours are shrinking rapidly.....

Now I have a question, we're playing Reunion with the 'Apricot Gunbus Mod' and new save point.... Talk about sheer madness.

We'd like to add the XTM mod, of course there is no readme, and when I just unzip it to the EGOSOFT directory we get an error when the game goes into the playing screen. What am I missing? Any help greatly appreciated!

Pied, Are you playing X3 Reunion with just the Gunbus Mod or the full Apricot Mapping Service Mod? XTM is not compatible with Apricot Mapping service, so you can't run both on the same install. I believe you can run XTM and just the Gunbus Ship mod, (I haven't tried it yet but it looks like it will work). I think you would have to install XTM first them add the Gunbus as a fake patch after.

On my system I have 3 seperate X3R folders, one is unmodified, one is the total Apricot MMaping SERvice, whic includes the Gunbus and quite a few other modded ships, and a seperate folder for XTM. I just rename the folders to keep them seperate, and which ever I want to play I name the proper name X3 Reunion, (I also do the same with the Save game folder in My Documents).

I have to say they each have their good points, but so far XTM has the most overall, these guys did a huge amount of work, the effects are stunning, (new exhaust trails for engines and missles are amazing) and some very interesting alternate starts and missions. Check the XTM site for full details, there is a good install guide and eferything you could ask for in cheats and extras.

Thanks for the info!

I'll try several installs, this is getting to sound just like CFS3! With tons better graphics though!


Thanks again,

pied
 
I second that. Looks like its getting to be time to create a second version install of X3TC. I dont want to damage this and I may just start/finish a fighter run to see what you guys have been talking about.


ChaCha,

Leave those things alone and do some space flying! :d

There are some interesting things you can do with your ships, like SETA Boost and SuperTune. (I think SuperTune might be the same thing, but in Cheats, it goes a bit faster I think).



Mike,

That post you had with the link to 'Monkeys Guide to Installing Ships's.. That thing is BRILLIANT! It talks about how you can make ships and put them in X3. Shows a Federation ship in the process, via 3DS Max. Gmax is very similar. The tools just might work with it. I am going to give it a shot. They have a tool that will decompile a X3 ship as well, so you can bring one into Max. Lets hope it works with Gmax as well. If it does, I can turn around and export it directly to FS format and have a FS version of it. But it would be cool to create some wild ships.. (like the X/F 302 or 303.. which ever the Terran Death Glider bird is with Naquadria drive).

I just spent the evening with X3 Reunion running the Xtended Mod, it is what Terran Conflict is based on, all of the Terran sectors were created by these guys and Ergosoft used the Fan created material for the new release, nice job to. In some ways I think the X3r mod is better than the Ergosoft version, the effects on ship and missle exhaust are stunning, I have some screen shots but they are TGA and I have to convert them before posting. I'll do that in the am but just wait until you see these...WOW.
 
Well, I lost two Caiman Super Freighters to some 'FREAK' called a Xenon 'Q'.

I found the dang thing, raiding a sector, attacking a freighter. Huge thing.... Small battleship. So I pursued in my Nemesis...

I distracted it a few times, couldnt get my lasers to fire, and launched a volley of 10 Aurora missles. No damage to the raider.. Grim. Hyperjumped out of their back to my base at Argon Prime.

Tonight I'll be repairing the fleet, rebuilding the two lost freighters.

arghh...

Yeah I'm kinda stuck in the plot line right now because of a Q. Of course, I'm also trying to figure out a way to cap it. :icon_lol: Those things kick butt! :173go1:

Roger that..

I wonder if its in the missiles.. Certain missiles seem to do certain things. I could be wrong. In the trailers, you usually see (I think) Medusa missles being used, (multi warhead approach objects or delivery vehicles).

I couldn't believe my lasers wouldn't fire on the Nemesis, lol.. Its loaded to the hilt and I had nothing. arrgh.. I must need ammo of some sort.

You ever notice you can tell a Teladi world by its tan colors? They must be a desert like race.. Always 'beige' colored, lol...

Lastnight I was running Reunion and made a jump thru the North Gate. Happened to notice another ship with a red box around it. Come to find out it was a bad guy, so I went after it. After chasing it around for a bit, and being taunted by it's pilot, I shot it out the vacuum of space. :d

Its so cool to just park and watch the clouds moving over the planet and watch the planet rotating inside the weather systems..


I may have to go check out Saturn again, lol..

X3Reunion Xtended Mod shots - I finally got these converted so I could post, these are just a few from my first exploration of the Xtended Mod in X3R. The gates are very colourful as you can see and I love the terran trading station. Check out the exhsust trails on the Bearclaw in the last 1.

I hope to get back in the cockpit tomorrow and I will get some shots of combat and weapons fire, it is pretty awsome...
 
Thanks Mike for posting that.

Man... Well, I can see that when I have fully explored and used up X3TC, X3R will be next. Those jump gates look brilliant. So does that Terran station.
