apricotslice · Post by **apricotslice** » Thu, 22. Feb 07, 01:26

Final call for submissions to the version 2 of the X3 Handbook.

I'm suddenly rushing to get this done with limited time. So suggest now, or forever hold you peices

No guarentees if anything else is included, but please suggest now so I can review it.

WANTED : Any piece of writing on the Player HQ or other version 2 additions. Doesnt matter how small or big. I am happy to pick a single paragraph out of a big guide, if it has something important to add. Likewise, any single post of help to a version 2 feature, like how to use the HQ, is welcome, please post the url here.

WANTED : A game screen pic of the HQ. Also the M7, and the X3+'s. Pic of towing a ship through a gate.

At the moment it is just a brain dump of everything that I could think of so there are still a lot of blanks to be filled in and I will work on this over the next week or two.

If anyone has any comments or suggestions or can help to fill in some of the blanks I will be pleased to add your contribution in and acknowledge you in the credits.

cheers....

I know you wrote this quite some time ago but I just got around to reading it. Very helpful info and should be stickied (unless it is already). Nice job! Look forward to seeing the finished product.

Happy hunting!!

I'll see if I can convert it to jpg - so you can see what it looks like..
won't be long..

This just goes to show that you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. For as long as I've been playing this game, I never bothered to check out the quick keys for drones and the like. Thanks for the spreadsheet. I printed it out the second I opened it. Nice work.

Hi,

There is a known bug in Commercial Agent, which needs to be listed.

Submissions are now invited for guides and game help to be included in version 3 of the X3 handbook.

This is likely to be the final version of the Handbook. Version 2 was put together in a rush and does miss some stuff, so I thought it time to finish the job.

Some things that will be included in this version include :

The bonus pack.
The big mods.
The best scripts.

So please suggest any guide not yet included you feel is worth including, and any script or mod you feel people should know about that may not be getting any attention because its not on the sticky thread.

Also, if any guide in the Handbook v1-2 has seen a big revision and you think the Handbook should include the new version, please suggest it. The work to re-edit upgraded guides is extensive, so only those that have been substantially redone will be considered for replacement.
