It was years later that I saw Terran Conflict somewhere mentioned that it was released and I just felt I should give a try a game I could not find no where else, no matter how long I waited.

Too many menus, too unfriendly interface and even the mods that were helpful, felt like they added to the complexity. It was so complicated and hard and I guess at that moment, I did not have the mood to understand it. Honestly though, I did not play X3 Reunion in the end. Thoughts that I could board ships like my first experience of a game like that in Cutthroats and eventually games like Pirates of the Caribbean (only the first) and Sid Meiers Pirates.
What made my jaw drop was when he mentioned that I could board enemy ships and even capture them as mine.
I was told of X3 by one of my best online friends and how awesome it was. I have no idea why I never liked space movies (like Star Trek and Star Wars) and dog-fighting games in space, but I know that X3 is the reason that today I do not mind playing them and actually giving any space game a second chance, which includes Starsector. Also side and top stroller games definitely do not count. Space games as in getting in a space ship and flying around in a sea of starts, shooting other spaceships and not so much the designs or the thoughts of adventure.Įxceptions always were 4X games, cause I like the concept of exploring, expanding, exploiting and exterminating, so space 4X games just were a larger scale. I never got any of those, not even the ones that don't exist. If anyone wants to add some stuff about X 3 and beyond that would be cool. And if anyone wants to argue debate about what is the best ship and why it is the Split Iguana, have at it. So yeah, X 2 is a game I really like and have spent a ton of time on.

So you have to manually install it by copying the contents of the discs to a location yourself.Īnd modern keyboards make fighting a bit more difficult as they have introduced two extra keys between and meaning the strafe drive is a bit more awkward to use. The weird thing with X 2 is that even though it will run flawlessly on modern systems, it's installer will not.
(That came later.)Īlso: Player capital ships were now a thing. X 2 introduced scripting which gave modders what amounted to an enormous toolbox, albeit with no real supporting documentation.

I never owned XT due to it being absurdly rare, but I did know someone who did.Īt the end of 2004 I got X 2: The Threat, and even though my PC at the time could barely run it and being a Win98a that machine couldn't support the DirectX version needed to display most of the textures, I still loved it and played it to death. Then less than a year later came X-Tension, a sort of add-on-come-sequel to BtF using the same engine (with a few tweaks) and adding what would become a staple of the X games in the future: A whole mess of ships you can 'acquire' and fly yourself, AND the ability to remotely monitor/control distant things. (And one factory not being able to hire transporters so you had to stock it yourself or it would never work.) It still looks mostly okay if a little plain, but it is let down by the less than stellar AI that really liked ramming, and the means of controlling your factories being awkward as hell. And I subsequently lost months of my life to this thing just running around building stuff as that was a pretty novel and new feature for this kind of game, and one that I really happened to like. I first picked up a copy of Beyond the Frontier in the winter of '99 after being hooked by it's demo on a cover disc. Pretty much my go-to replacement for elite since the early 00's. Created to avoid usurping the loadouts thread with chat about how wonderful/terrible Egosoft is.
