Hey guys, remember X3 which had all these swell ships piloted by silly aliens that I wouldnt stop posting screenshots for and everyone was all 'Wow! I'mma get that!' followed by a beating when it turned out that the game was only playable by madmen and robots?
It's back as a standalone sequel: X3: Terran Conflict
Sucks if you didnt buy it in the double pack during Steam's sale. Of course, it also sucked if it did because the authenthication servers were down for the entire holiday period, hahar. It's back up now though, so I'm having fun cruising around the solar system, shooting the crap out of things that even look at me funny and wishing I had more than two credits to rub together.
QUELL YOUR HUNGER FOR SETTING THINGS ON FIRE IN SPACE AND/OR JUST TRADING TOFU UNTIL YOUR EYEBALLS FALL OUT

Talk about how awesome I am
I would think there'd be a whole thread on this.
Does he just search animated lil jon or something?
Okey doke.
Did you do something super awesome to win it back, or did Tube decide it wasn't funny anymore?
X3 was pretty rad, but my computer could not run it flawlessly in large scale battles so I uninstalled it and mothballed it until I get a newer computer...
And now there's Terran Conflict out, so I'll just get that when I get a newer computer.
Hooray!
So just Terran conflict and ignore the x3 pack then?
hey teefs remember Escape velocity? That game was the shiiiiit. Like finding the aliens on the fringes of the galaxy, or fighting against whatever evil was in whatever game you happened to be playing (regular, overdrive, or nova.) I love that a lot of the missions would just pop up in the taverns. It did storytelling so well.
X3 should be awesome and I want it to be awesome but I have no idea what to do. At least I have a bitchin joystick to play it with.l
is there anyway to look at your ship while you play
hitting f2 switches to a view directly behind your ship that is completely fucking useless because you can't steer while in that mode and it obscures most of the screen
it just feels weird having an essentially FPS style view in space
You can use the Numpad to move the view around your ship. Numpad 0 cycles between various cinematic views.
is a joystick necessary?
