My My, no wonder Rega is sooooo... into space flight trading combat sims. This will be one hell of a game.

My computer wont run with spec's like that

But will buy the game and update with a new computer later in the year

This game is going to be a massive hit, like it should be

if a lot know about it.

Steel when the X2 demo comes out, will the Pic's of X2 be updated and will there be a link on the demo for nubies to see EGOSOFT site.

That is AWESOME--I want the game now!!!!

One thing--isn't the name of the sector you mention near the beginning Kingdom End, not Kingdom End? Has that changed, or has the dreaded tyop struck?

Steel - very impressive. What can i say but a good job done there. The intro is great and there where even one or two bits of new info(well to me anyway) in there. Thanks

Hey look...I start posting on the boards again after ages of silence and some new stuff appears from Steel.

Makes me feel all warm inside...

...it's either that or cystitis.

Q: C’mon, tell me, how big is the biggest ship I can own?
A: Over two kilometres long and yes, you can pilot it.

wow! and a turning circle as big as a planetary orbit (at full speed) no doubt, well I don't care I still want one 'right now'!!!

Great FAQ Steel certainly got my interest i'm sure it will get many others interested too (it was also cool getting some new info on the background story).

So a two kilometer long ship hey?

and it can contain other ships (like my fighter squadron)

and it can have laser turrets.

HOLY $#@# Egosoft just gave me the keys to the Star Destroyer!!!!!!!

Please don't tell George

Great stuff. Thanks for the update Steel

PS Shouldn't be made a sticky? Steel?

Very nice Mr. Steel, Sir. Just one comment, the first 'Question' is actually two and you answer the second one first. Just seemed a bit strange to me.

Tiberian Commander · Post by **Tiberian Commander** » Mon, 10. Mar 03, 11:06

STEEL - Do you know what the turning distance is for a ship, two kilometres long.

Smile :) · Post by **Smile :)** » Mon, 10. Mar 03, 11:14

will the 2 klm ships even fit through the gates...

Steel · Post by **Steel** » Mon, 10. Mar 03, 11:17

Thanks Rapier - fixed.

Al: I think this will probably *bump* itself for a day or so, by which time, I am hoping DevNet will be back and I can get this onto the webby properly (some very kind German members are translating my *not quite Queens English* text

).

What I then think is that we have a single sticky at the top (i'll probably put Scarecrows post back as a sticky) and everyone can just add links to that for pics, interviews, etc as we go along. Sound like a plan?

Cheers,

Steel

Wait...when you assign wingmen in X2, can you have formations instead of them just lurking behind you?

Lorien · Post by **Lorien** » Mon, 10. Mar 03, 18:04

p88 - whilst that would be a nice feature if it is in the game, would it really make any significant difference? As long as they're behind you and relatively close enough to render aid in your defence or attack your enemies without having to wait a half-hour for them to arrive, I don't mind what formation they fly in

harag9 · Post by **harag9** » Mon, 10. Mar 03, 18:12

Formations for wingmen are a great idea imho. the different formations in Homeworld were cool and with the thrusters/tails trails the flying was amazing - just like watching the red arrows do sky tricks. i think it would be greate to see some groups of pirate come flying towards you in formation then you will know they mean business.
