I bought it last week.and man, the game is just too awesome. I too have been addicted playing another game called Fallout 3. Do you ever see people (not other players, but AI pilots walking around in lounges, etc) in this game? Or just outsides of spaceships? Cuz it'll be cool to dock your ship and go for a drink at the local cantina.chat it up w/ some crusty fighter jocks. Looks like a cool game/sim bill! Hmm.soooo tempting. I am playing the role of Explorer right now, just a short diversion from my regular character, quite fun actually, and it is very different from the grind of the trade routes. I have to say it is an amazing game, you can choose many different paths, and the whole experience is totally different depending on the path you choose. There are jump gates that are very hard to find and some that I think do not appear until you reach a certain level of wealth or "renown", I am not sure? I am at around 5.5 million credits and I am shooting for 20 so I can buy a couple of ships and hire some good pilots as wingmen to help me, then I will do some serious Bounty Hunting, or maybe a little Privateering, who knows. I have been playing off and on for a couple of years, I charted almost 100 systems and thought I had most of them, then I came across a map another player posted of the systems he had charted. I must get to EB Games and pick up Terrin Conflict, I never tire of this game and that looks like the next logical step to me. I see from the Screen shots you have the Terrian Conflict, that is the latest, I have been messing with the previous version X3 Reunion, almost the same as far as I can tell, the interface is slightly upgraded, and the story line is expamded, but the gameplay is pretty much the same from what I have read so far. Once you build up enough credits, get into Asteroid Mining, that is a BLAST (in more ways than one.lol). Hey Bill, I see you are hooked.lol It is an amazing game/sim/world of it's own. It had a red dwarf sort of sun, so everything was reddish. I found one planet last night that looked like Mars a bit, but lighter colored soil throughout. Some planets are absolutely beautiful and different from Earth and have these cloud systems over them that you can barely see move gently accross the landscape below. There are also cheat scripts at the X3 website. There are a ton of things you can do to them at the upgrade fascilities. I need to get the hull lengthened (cargo sections added) so I can trade more and then make more. The ship in the screenshots in the foreground is my baby. So far, I am trading fuel cells to a fascility in the Argon Prime sector, from a manufacturer in the 'The Wall' sector. You can haul illegal things like 'space fuel' (whiskey?) which is illegal to be traded (I dont know why), and so if you are caught with that or other things, you are out of business. The Argon fighter pilot police force are in quite a few places. I have been scanned quite a few times now for illegal cargo. The NAV system doesnt show you every detail till you are right up on things, so I have to cruise up to rings to find out where they jump you too, get near fascilities to find out what they do, etc. Right now, I have been going through the jump rings, discovering the new systems and sectors, finding manufacturing plants and things. There are so many directions to take that at first it leaves you sort of lost. There are different things you can do, like being a fighter pilot, pirate, trader, manufacturer, running things, etc. I am now at the point that I am getting some things working, doing some discoveries into other star systems, learning how to trade, etc. For a week, I was only booting it up and playing with controls and things, trying to figure things out. The amount of learning you have to do is pretty huge. This is a huge game or sim or whatever it is.
