No problems with printing it. I guess I dont trust my printer with something that big. It always manages to lose pages or get stuck in the middle with a paper jam.

I only tend to print the bits I really need.

I was surprised that anyone would print something so big.

But as I said, let me know how well it prints.

I really wish I could get it published and in the stores. That would save any need to print it.

That helps :)

Back in the days when I had my own PC store, I used to be able to write off the cost of such things. But that was a long time ago now. I'm still using the same old laser I had back then.

Yes you are right the laser printers are for such amount of work(eg 333 pages or more)

But I don't have a color laser printer and I want a colored handbook.

If it looks good on PC,why it doesn't in my hand? :D

Thanks to 98abaile, the Handbook is now bookmarked and linked.

So 2 versions to choose from in the download area.

Bookmarked version is about 1.2 mb larger.

I downloaded the handbook and it is v2, not v3. Any help?
How can one player flying one ship defeat a big gang of pirates?

Good flying, or reinforcements. Lots of reinforcements.

Which link are you referring too ? URL please.

The link in the OP points to the Handbooks main page (This is so there is only ever one official download url, so it only ever has to be updated in one place), which has a download link that now points to my download site.
On the download site, choose the Handbook or Bookmarked Handbook from the list and the download starts.

If you are using any other link, then it could be an old version of the handbook its pointing to, which has been been deleted and redirected.

Wow. Just amazing. Loved reading it!

Just reminded me that with the X series, your not playing a game, your playing a universe, and one that can be many things at once; deleightful, fun, frustrating, beutiful, scarey, rewarding, punishing... and many many more, but always full of wonder.

Cheers guys, as a new member to the universe you've helped me understand a bit more and appreciate and enjoy it much much more.

PS. I love McSquishey.

A heads up for the imminent release of the X3 Handbook v4. Currently 389 A4 pdf pages, containing 98 Guides, Articles and Resources from X2, X3R, X3Rv2, X3TC and X3TCv2. Now also including current copies of the Guides sticky, and the modding guides and downloads stickies for X2, X3 and TC, with clickable links.

I'm awaiting 1 guide update, so hope to have it available later this week.

Point to the despicable Cad that's holding you up on this, and we'll go tear him a new set of orifices... Orifi? Orifaeces? :o

Whatever the plural is we're bringing it with us on the cart of despair, and we mean business.

Best go shoot some Paranid. :D

I'm at the final scanning and proofreading stage to find the obvious problems that are always hard to spot.

Way to go , mate !

I look forward to your new Handbook.You may have noticed I often recommend it (well,the current ones,anyway).

Did you give up on publishing it in hardcopy? I know there were potential problems,but I am still interested if you take that route.
