that's a good point really.... i've not been looking for them to tell the truth.. but i haven't found any "free" ships yet.apricotslice wrote:All modes as far as I'm aware at this point.

i have been around the "oldest" block (XBTF sectors) but not much fether away then that... only been playing for about 24 hours worth of game time.
this free ship you said about in that block... didn't see that one ? where about's is it to ... ummm... and i forget what sector you said it was in now too.... d'oh!
that's life, you live and you learn. you make a choice, sometimes it's right and sometimes it's wrong, but were always learning and it's the learning that shapes the next choice we make in life.

Not quite sure what you mean by Xbtf sectors, as X2 was the earliest game to appear here.Blackknight8x wrote: i have been around the "oldest" block (XBTF sectors) but not much fether away then that... only been playing for about 24 hours worth of game time.

The ship in boron space is off the beaten track, hiding behind an asteroid, so if your not looking for it, you probably wont see it.

Xbtf never appeared in stores near me. The first I knew of the X universe was when I stumbled on a copy of X2 long after if first came out.Blackknight8x wrote:the XBTF sectors... did you never play that one ? ..... god i feel old!!!apricotslice wrote:Not quite sure what you mean by Xbtf sectors, as X2 was the earliest game to appear here.

Sorry, but ....
"off the beaten track" is Australian slang meaning to get off the main road, get away from the normal traffic areas, in fact get away period. In this context, it means look away from the gated area, and where ships normally go.
Some other Australian slang ....
"Going Bush" is getting off the beaten track and staying there.
"Going Walkabout" is getting off the beaten track and keeping on moving.
In the olden days, off the beaten tracking was done on foot. Later on motorbikes, but these days its all 4X4 or what Americans call a SUV (stupid ugly vehicle).
Normal is having a 4X4 or SUV and never getting off the beaten track, but fully intending too one day.

"THE SHIP" any idea what area it's in at all... i.e. north east corner ?
Australian slang - ah, goodday mate
i guess you wouldn't or heard the radio edit of the Australian slang ? goes a little something like this
"goodday mate" - good morning my good man
"get another srimp on the babbie" - would you be a dear and cook some sea food on the roticairey
there was a lot more but my mind has turned to clay !!!

Shrimp is American and we made that concession for their tv ads, since none of them would have known what a Prawn was.
Barbie being BBQ.
"Coming the Raw Prawn" is something different again
Edit : Oh yeah, sorry, keeping on topic, look to the NE. Big roid on its own.
Damn, I seem to have successfuly hijacted my own thread.

G'day Apdicotslice, one Aussie to another (Perth) , I heard somewhere that after getting all the secret missile containers, one would then be able to identify unknown objects such as the hammerhead.. Is this the case??? The reason I ask is because I have found all, bar one, (microchips which I didn't think was worthwhile when I've got some 300 million credits) and have not yet found a way to indentfy them.. Will I need to get ALL conatainers?? Any help or advice will be greatly wppeciated, thanks
Cheers
Cheers
I THINK, SO THEREFORE I AM

Not that I'm aware of. If this is so, I didnt actually notice it myself. Nor do I have an appropriate save game to just go look.Wurtzel wrote:I heard somewhere that after getting all the secret missile containers, one would then be able to identify unknown objects such as the hammerhead..

Dude Resurection is for AD&D.
Cloning is For X3.
Salvage Insurance is your clone "DNA" and Memory Mapping. You invest into there package and bam your clone dude pops up into your place.
Did I mention that you can buy them in pills. Its too cool you can microwave them for 1min and poof! Your back.
One more thing Kool post dude. New recruits need wisdom.

Get a triplex scanner, upon entering Mists, head STRAIGHT south. Keep going. I know still nothing, just keep going.
Eventually the gate will highlight. Best to seta unless your afraid to hit something.
OR, you could use the AP by giving your ship a 'move to position' command and useing the marker to pinpoint the south edge of the map in Mists, dead center (left>|<right).
Its the one in Maelstrom that'll give you fits.
