This wouldn't surprise me in the slightest simply because it's the only option . I've already said this a couple of times before, but it doesn't hurt to have anoher repeat. Back in the day, when XR was known as TNBT, we were told that TNBT is not a new X game , which more than implied it was a new I...

So, I'm guessing most of you didn't read the entire OP all the way to the last line? The whole thing is sarcasm.

It's such good practice, even the newly installed Australian Government is using it as a model.

Re: The Perfect Pasta Sauce (aka: How Egosoft failed with Rebirth)

A select few people might already know where this is going, It's a well known example in many industries, but I think the great majority of you can't fathom how a food ingredient relates to Rebirth, or even video games in general. If you have a few spare minutes, watch this episode of Jimquisition ...

I didn't say they did things "right", just that anyone with half a brain can see that they added features that people have wanted. Note also that I said "one way or another", which does not mean "clamouring". The shit left over from the console is just that - shit left over from the console. Egosoft...

X-Rebirth: 1,787 In-Game X3:AP: 384 In-Game I don't think X3 was the secret sauce you think it is or those numbers would be reversed. Horrible, horrible, example. To start with, X3:AP is now two years old while Rebirth is barely two weeks old. More importantly, at least half of the people that play...

It's spelt "knob", does that make it any clearer? I object to the use of the name X:Stillbirth. This name quite clearly refers to the abandoned console version which necessarily makes this game X:Afterbirth. Why shouldn't people be "negative"? The best that can be said of this game is that it seems ...

Nope.

It doesn't actually do anything to the game itself, just reads data and allows you to access the Universe Map outside of the game, but since you have to launch it in-game it gives a ***Modified*** tag.

Looking for a Specific Script

There used to be a list of scripts colour-coded for the different games. The script I am looking for is almost certainly on that list, but I can't seem to find that list, nor can I find the script on the list stickied on this forum. The script I am looking for is, if memory serves, very well known o...

Second Non-Steam Install

I am currently downloading XRM and want to have it as an entirely different installation, the same as I did with XTM. The problem is, I didn't have Steam when I had XTM, so a separate install was as simple as using the disk. How do I make a second installation of AP, for use with XRM, while retainin...

You can repair your reputation with the pirates to the level that prevents most attacks outside of their core sectors by doing missions for "shady" characters at stations in pirate sectors. Regarding Griff, it's mainly a FLAK ship, so FFA/CFA all over is a good idea for its anti-fighter purposes, i...

Use an Ariadne to ferry your new ships to the nearest shipyard, with an Equipment Dock, to your PHQ. Put them all in a Wing for easy commands. Tell the Wing to land at the Shipyard. Since all the ships in the Wing are identical you can equip them all at once. Give them Rudder Tunings, etc. Return th...

If it's an actual barrage, rather than just plain spam, something like a Hammerhead can save your arse bcause it is both guided and has a large area of effect.

Once you make your way to Teladi(?) space, you can pick up Explorer Software which will give you a command that allows your ships to place a satellite network autonomously. You only need to give the ship a couple of AdvSats and they will go around laying them in every explored sector, buying new Adv...

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think your listed complex sustains itself. IIRC you need 5 or 6 Large Crystal Fabs to run a XL SPP. So not only are you running a deficit of Crystals you are also lacking Silicon for the 'chips because the Crystal Fab's will be using most of what you bring in. Again, n...

Not at all. The Aquilo is designed to work in tandem with a Sirokos specifically to capture Xenon. Have another look at the Sirokos. There's a reason it can only fire Boarding Pods.

M7Ms are not designed for flattening sectors, they are designed for boarding. Hammers are there for taking down shields. Flails are there for keeping the shields down and occupying the turrets so your Marines don't get shot out of the sky. You'd be surprised at the amount of fine control you have wi...

Reputation: Step 1. Before finding your target make sure you own a TL with plenty of eCells. Fly around the relevant Race's space and pick up as many Build missions as you can, and buy the factories needed for completion. The more TL's loaded with stations you have, the better. Step 2.
