    I'll probably be getting this around Chistmas/New Year time, seeing as I've just ordered Black and White 2... never played X:BTF or X:T, but loved X2. Yes, it was slightly slow, but still a fun game. With egosoft listening to the critisms of X2 (especially the bit about combat), X3 could very well be an excellent game... we will see!

    One interesting thing about X2 is that I do better against fighters and corvettes (not M1s or M2s) in a Nova with Ion Disrupters and GHEPTs than I do in my Centaur. I also bought an M2, and found it utterly useless - boring to drive, and I could have done much more with the money.

    I loved X:BTF and X:T - 'completed' them both... Something was missing from X2 but still did really enjoy the few months i was stuck in it. X3 is a game i wil be picking up when its out but just be adding to the long list of stuff to play... it wont be jumping to the top like B&W2 has.

    Ditto, X2 was a bit slow, going to replay it all the way through before I think about getting X3.

    I'd class it as somewhere between Freelancer and Eve Online in terms of difficulty I played X2 for a few days but really didnt have the time to dedicate to playing it, seemed like a game that deserved it at the time too.

    basicly, theres this vast universe.. the sectors are conected by stargates of a sort. there at the poles aka north ect. not all sectors have all 4 poles and the universe is realy hard to map out

    You need to gain creadits (money to buy weapons or shields or new ships. You can either destroy transports and take there cargo and sell it or become a trader... also you can hunt pirates and you get paid for destroying them... For me the game is about my ship and its massive fire power, I then use this ship (carrier) to destroy races I dont like... xeon and boron. Its a very fun game and its hard to learn to fly the ships. buit its very cool once you get the hang of it!
