just got to Earth

[old1]

I had been away from X3 for months due to real life concerns and I have just started to play again. I did the plot mission to unlock the Terra gate, and I'm there now zipping around. I have to say that seeing earth in X3 made me smile, and the gates are very cool. I never fail to be impressed at what XTM (why isn't it TXM by the way?) has added to the game. I'm looking forward to gettin' me some of those Terran ships.

My problem now is that with another X game on the way, I don't know that I could play it without the XTM content :-/. Since I never played X3 without XTM, my brain has filed the XTM content as "part of the X universe". Something would seem lacking to play without it I think.

*Edit* - anyone else noticed that "Move to Position..." acts weird in Mars? It seems to send me off in a totally different direction than I give it. I've never seen that in any other sector. Weird... *Edit2* after exiting and re-entering the sector, it works fine now. Go figure.

Autopilot acts weird around terran, otas and terracorp shipyards. It thinks they're 50km radius

Hmm, yes, that would perfectly fit my observations so far. It works OK in places, and doesn't work in other places, apparently within the same sector.

The Terrans have very cool ships. I hope X3:TC will contract out to use these! Love the ambiance of the Earth sector. I'd quibble with the look of Pluto, but I guess we'll find out when New Horizons gets there in 2015

Yah, I smiled when I saw Earth also. It was good to be home ina sence.

I agree, it can be annoying when you're trying to maybe dock with a terran shipyard. You have to flyout forever until it'll give oyu permission to dock.

Best system ever. Have to fly really high to see Canada though... but it was worth it. Like the music too, sounds like Freelancer comm chatter was added in, adds a nice effect.

I like going to the moon and watching the earth rotate...

Yeah, I noticed the comm chatter too. The sector has great ambiance, better than any of the original game sectors I think! Plus the Terran cap ships are very cool, although they don't like me enough to sell me the really big ones yet

Once we get good multi-core support in X and 16 core CPUs, I will have died and gone to heaven...

I agree, Terran ships are nice, and in my opinion the best. I like the solar system period, nicely done.

Valhalla's my favorite Terran ship. It's just so frakin' huge!

How do I dock at a Terran Shipyard??? I have the dock and the shipyard, I can only dock at the dock but not at the shipyard, and while at the dock I cannot trade with the shipyard, am I doing something wrong?
