That's the main reason that I won't do any multiplayer beyond FS (Disclaimer: flies occasionally for Avsim in the RTWR).

This one is strictly solo, although it would be cool to cooperatively blast some Kha-ak or Xenon!

Hey LD,

I saw a interesting Taxi job service addon pack last night at Egosoft.com in the XUniverse forums in the main library at the top in X3TC Modding forums.

Mike was telling me about it a while back.

Also, 'Haulers' are the ships that are like tubeliners in X3. They are the airliners.

You 'could' convert a Super Freighter to have life support in the cargo bay which would make it a 747 (or A380), but as you know, thats like putting people in an oil tanker and sending them to another land, lol... (Yah gotta have windows).

If I see that Taxi service script page again, I'll send the link here.

Found it.

I dont think that is 'exactly' it though after reading it. Mike may know of a better one.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm just a humble trader, been through only 18 systems so far. Only have 6 ships. Haven't killed any pirates, but did fire on some. They growled at me, and flew away..
LOL

LD, the TP class ship is configured to carry people so they are the best bet, no need to add life support, here is a clip I took from Roguneys site and the link to the page for reference, take note this list may not be complete he was still adding when I got the info but it gives you a good start.

What an Odyssey!!! Well, went down to WallyMart on Saturday before noon, and their machine wouldn't accept my new "chipped" bank card. They tried several times, no go. Sooo OK, no problem, I'll go to my bank and get the cash. Ooops, it's after 5PM by the time I get there, bank is closed. No problem I'll just use the ATM. Oh, that's down as well. Off to find an ATM that works. Woot! Found one. Hmmmm $2.50 fee for using... By this time, it was F this, just gimme the $$$$ and let me go buy the game. LOL, got the $$$ and headed on back to WallyMart. WHAT? You sold the game!? WHY?

WallyMart Moron: It had yesterday's date on it and it wasn't picked up, so we sold it........ Jeepers (most PC thing I could think to write!!)

Well, I felt like that old Cosby routine where the football coach gets his team all riled up, beating on lockers, waiting to massacre the other team then on heading out to the field, finds the locker room door has been locked.....

Sunday AM. Decide I need to go console myself, and since misery loves company, I invite my nephew out for breaky (Wife and child want to go shopping..) A starving college kid won't say no to food, never.

Sooooo, we head down to the greasy spoon we like and have a real good feed. After that, he asks if I'd mind stopping at EBGames so he can pick up a copy of an XBox 360 football game. No problem, nada else to do.

So, I'm standing there trying to look appropriately interested in console games when out from the back comes a clerk with an arm full of GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, if there had of been a mental health officer present, I'd be in a suit with arms that tied behind me. There it was, X3 Gold Edition

.

Now, sitting here analyzing the weekend, I think it'll take years of therapy to put this behind me. Luckily for me, it may take that long just to learn all the nuances of this game!!!!

PS Can I inject it for a faster experience? LOLOLOL!

**Lionheart** · December 20th, 2009, 12:56

wooo hooooo!!!!

Man.. What are the chances of that happening....? What are the mathmatical chances of him coming out that door with you seeing him visible with an arm full of the games you have been looking for.

I guess you were meant to have this game Aeronca.

Moral of the story.. You can have your breakfast and get your game too!

I see that Terran Conflict X3 is available for download from Steam today (I think for the entire weekend) for $10. I'm downloading it right now.

**Lionheart** · December 24th, 2009, 10:21

Thanks for the heads up Crater. I posted that at NewsHawks for those that might be interested but dont come into the X3 room.

**Cratermaker** · December 24th, 2009, 10:41

Whoops! Well, it IS important news, so is worth repeating.

EDIT: Oh, I see you are repeating what I said. Nevermind... I get it now. I'm slow sometimes!

***luckydog*** · December 29th, 2009, 23:44

Discovered GW3 over the holidays.......
Doing Mo-cat's National Air Tour.....
Be back soon !!

**Lionheart** · December 30th, 2009, 00:35

See you soon LD.

I guess the Terrans gave you a license and permit to go back in time and fly around Earth...

While I was crusing around tonight I get a message, "One of your ships is under attack!" from that sexy little voice inside the computer.

Usually it is too late to do anything about it, but not tonight.

I lost a freighter and its one wing man right off the bat.

So here I come with my Skate leading the pack to get some revenge and maybe pick up some of my goods.

I send the Blue wing in after all those pirates and good God what is that? A Nemesis? Oh crap!!!!

I lost all of my blue wing except for my Xenon L

That Nemesis bit the dust right after I tried to get them to surrender the ship.
