Should X be Multiplayer? (Poll) I wan't to make egosoft see how many people want this
Do you want X to be multiplayer?
But don't take anything about how hard it would be, money, etc into consideration.. JUST "do you want it multiplayer?"
That's it, simple isn't it?
Hopefully egosoft'll see the results and act acordingly.
Well it looks like I can't modify the poll, but yes, what I meant was, a choice between LAN and Internet, or single player.

I'd prefer that it stay single player. I just don't want to have to deal with idiots in a game as complicated as X3.

Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

the entire X series just isn't somethign that you make online. why? because we can't have everyone owning stations easily on an online game where you could easily destroy a station. I mean, what would be to stop me from getting a M2 and just blowing the liveing c**p out of a bunch of newbie's stations?
How to fix that kinda thing? make it all tightly controled and stuff like in EVE. Now, what i really like are games where you can do what ever you wan't (i'm talking about online games) where there's no restrictions on what you can do or who you can attack. None of this crap that insures you can't really loose anything if you ever get attacked.

If multiplayer was incorporated with the X series it would slow the game down far too much and no one would fly anything other than the M5 class ship... imagine trying to cross a large and busy sector at 40m/s... with no SETA!!!
Nightmare.
Games with no time distortion would work fine and i am usually all up for playing against real intelligence (rather than Artificial Idiots) but i simply wouldnt play a game where it could take 40 mins just to cross one sector with the chance of gettin blown up and not being able to load from a previous save, or when your retarded freighters take an unscheduled detour through hostile sectors without you knowing it.

agreed... it's rather overwhelming isn't it? (at time of this posting 19-1 for single player only)blazer1121 wrote:

As has been explained any number of times, it has never been a question of whether people want multiplayer or not. The issue has always been about about the time and cost of development, and finding a backer prepared to put that kind of money up front. I very much doubt that Egosoft would abandon the players who want to play single-player games in the X-Universe anyway, but voting on it isn't going to change anything at all.blazer1121 wrote:Hopefully egosoft'll see the results and act acordingly.
Just to be clear.
When you look around other communities you see the sort of idiots talked about in this thread. But if you look around the X community you will find we have a better class of idiot thats not as annoying as people like to believe in threads like this.
In fact most X players are fair minded, nice types. Unlike other games that are dominated by the console brigade that demand cheats in multiplayer and look out for opertunities to ruin your day.
Also believe it or not, when you play these games online with others, most people have no interest in finding your ship and killing you. Your just not that important to them.
Sorry to burst anybodies bubble here but theres an inflated sense of importance in post alarmists posts here. The important point to make is your a nobody in these types of games until you make your self a somebody and by then you should be able to defend your self easily.
Besides, theres a large group of traders here that have formed or once formed an alliance for protective reasons (in case XOU ever appeared) that are also better than most in a fighter too.
Me included.
