There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Dont shoot at the Argon boys. They are on your side.
Fighting the pirates that have Elite fighters is pretty difficult. The Xenon fighters are also a handful. But you are still in Argon Prime, so you have a ways to go to find the other sectors and systems.
Did you know you can make ships for this game? Max/Gmax, with file convertors. You should see their textures and bump maps and specular maps.. Just reuse their own textures with new ship designs...

yup i heard you could, think it might be better to wait till i know what i'm doing first
I'll say one thing ... the game looks stunning!
Stiz, this game is stunning, and that is an understatement, but then again I am just a tad biased.
enjoy yourself, and do try to be nice to the Argon and Terran folk, they are your friends until you start taking pot shots at them then they get real nasty real quick, and the buggers can come at you armed to the teeth, and then some...
I have to add one more thing.... "And Another One BYTES The Dust"...lol
Read through this thread on setting up your game;

(if you havent already).
There are some basic tips you need to know, like getting the SETA drive, tuning your engine for maximum speed, basic understanding of keyboard controls.
Some of these stations have animated carts and pods on them, moving around in the structures. Also, some of the planets rotate and their clouds move as well. The planets are bump mapped with terrain, and the clouds carry a shadow texture that falls on the ground terrain, and the clouds move at a different axis of rotation to the planets, so you get this wierd feeling watching them from orbit, as they they are real or 3D. The planets in Earths (Terra) solar system are AWESOME.... Jupiters cloud rings (on the planet) rotate in opposite directions. You may be a while trying to find the Terran sectors though. Took me ages to get there...
If you keep heading to the planet, and you are close 'already', (close sector), you burn up in the atmosphere.
Also, you can add on VC's to your ships. Kind of adds to the game play. The VC's were just enhanced and look a bit better. Use Shift-H to turn off VC view and screen data for taking screenshots.

Hey Mike, its here;

For those that havent installed it yet, just place the new CAT/DAT files into your main X3TC folder, rename them the next number up, such as CAT8, CAT9, etc, (same with the equal DAT files) and save a game, then restart....
