Yep.. Captured a Kha-Ahk fighter pilot.

So far in interigations, he cracked and told us he grew up in Canada and raises rare Beagles.. Thats all we've learned so far..

Bill

Hey I resemble that guy, I hope it's not cousin "Spot" he has been away on an adventure for awhile eh, and we havent heard from him - a long time ago, he must be far far away... EH!

Count me in for helping out...

[GT182]

Yeah, I'll give a hand too, if you need the help.

One question. How do you get the external views? I haven't found that yet.

Hey Gary,

F2 goes to external front/rear view. Click it once, rear view, click again, front view. Good for seeing who is chasing you. Click F1 to go back to cockpit. Click F1 to cycle through all available views. Some ships have left, right, top, bottom views, so F1 will cycle through them all. F2 goes straight to front or rear exterior view.

NumPad + and - will zoom in and out.

I've using F1 and F2 and have what you say....except for the external. I must be missing something somehow. I'll try again and do what you say Bill. Thanks.

Wow this thread really got off topic fast.......

Bill I think this is a great idea. I am not serious enough to post on most of the dedicated X3 forums around the web. Most of these places don't suffer fools...... I like the laid back atmosphere of the Outhouse and will definately start posting after action reports. I think it will be really neat knowing how other people play this wide open game.

A new forum dedicated to X3 would be a great idea. The only reason I havn't started a couple of new threads is not to offend people like Snuffy whom seem to get a little upset when the Newshawks get over run with a new subject. I think the size alone of the addiction thread proves there is enough interest to warrant one. Hell it gets alot more post than the X-Plane forum. ( I love X-Plane and wish there were more post in that section) .

Respect.

One addition to this, once you are in any external view your POV hat will allow you to move all around your ship (you can sanp to the positions with the keys on the # pad to) and if you have a ship/station targeted you can get a nice close external of it with F3 and move all around it as well.

Shuffling Freighters in busy sectors to get them to attain 'Universe Trader' status, then jump them to that job and shuffle in more ships to the new open slots in the busy sectors.

Hunting Xenon in the southern part of the Galaxy, South Southwest sectors.. Lots of business down in there for freighters, but I was in the heavily fortified Nemesis.. No room for anything buy missles and batteries..

Lost one Mako that was assigned to patrol the Ceo's Buckzoid sector.

RIP Mako fighter pilot..

Currently in Boron space hunting for a northeasterly passage over to Omicron Lyrae. So far, no luck. Took a job protecting a Boron shield factory from some pirates. Learned you gotta be careful where you shoot. Next thing I know the factory is dispatching some fighter drones with orders to kill me?!?! While I'm still trying to fend off pirates?!?! Fortunately I was able to rebuild my rep with them by defeating the pirates (and profusely apologizing to a Boron military M3).

Now, how do I find my way outta here...

Hey Craig,

I would do one of two things. Either plug in a destination in your auto pilot, such as Argon Prime, and let the computer figure in your course, or refer to the map on one of the websites and check the passages there.

I always hyper jump to Omicron Lyrae, but I think the normal route is straight right from Argon Prime. (Some ups and downs in there). I never use the Ceo's Buckzoid northerly route. I'll try to find the make of that large long-jump that has a long expanse between gates.. Its sort of South and in the middle of the galaxy.



Bill

[Craig Taylor]

It's that northerly route I'm trying to find/explore. For some reason I just can't locate the right jumpgate. I'll keep hunting...
