The only people who defend Egosoft are the ones who can happily play these games without "cockpits".....Well i am truly happy for them!
But for a lot of gamers like myself....cockpits make the game and taking them out makes the game meaningless for me!
It is like buying a formula one game only to find out there is no cockpit view but only a "nosecam view".....or buying a first person shooter only to find out there are no "iron sights".
If you are happy playing the game without cockpits....Then there is no need to reply in this thread! Go and play the game! While my copy gathers dust until a fully working mod is released!

Ah yes, the old "love it or leave it" mantra. Well I for one happen to love the game as I've evidenced well enough over the years.

Very interesting concept of this forum being a place only for rosy high praise, but not for critical comments. In that case, I take back everything I said previously. Instead, let me say:

Egosoft is the best software company in existence, and simply not capable of making bad decisions; X3 Reunion was in every way superior to X2, and TC is the most wonderful evolution of the series possible. Furthermore, anyone who has anything bad to say about TC or Egosoft is frankly just having a bad day/life.

I don't think you've upset anyone pme2001. All I see is a healthy expression of opinions among friendly X fans.

Off-topic if you guys don't like the game then don't play it ranting about a game serves no purpose and just gets you mad this is not the real world.

As for Egosoft not listening to its user's , ES are one of the best Developer's for doing just that the Chat Room on your right has quite alot of the time actual ES employees who are helpful.

Yes TC has its bugs as do lot of games that get sent to publishing often in much worse state, but as we ALL know from previous games ES will do everything it can to fix them, you really can't blame ES for the bugs technically its publishers give it a deadline to date of release then it must be out no matter what state and as X Games are pretty niche only certain plublisher's will publish so its a vicious circle for them.

Lastly this forum is not a place for this kind of discussion.

On-Topic yes cockpits would be nice, but not essential to game play in anyway."

One of the most arrogant posts i have seen on this forum. For your information this forum is for people to post their opinion about the X series, if you post here yourself then expect for people to answer and give back their own opinions. By saying "
I am entitled to my opinion as are you I am also entitled to post when and where I like on this forum if you have a problem with me PM me "
you sem to be saying that you are allowed to say what you want to say but if anyone else comments back you are offended ??

And if you have a problem with it then YOU can PM me.

I'm just saying that jumping to opinions like 'egosoft doesn't have their priorities straight' or 'they don't listen to their fans' well thats just ridiculous. They post on this forum every day which is more than you can say for 90% of game developers.

Maybe I didn't explain myself properly with the bug-free game comment... really I just mean that the more resources are diverted to adding cockpits, the less there are in fixing bugs, ergo we would have a buggier game at this time. This SPECIFIC example may not seem like it would have much impact, but consider the decision-making process a game company has to go through when planning a game. They need to cut corners wherever possible, and cutting a lot of these corners minimises the scope of the project to become managable so they can release the damn game.

I know the engine isn't perfect - I haven't even gotten into the modding scene yet and I already notice some pretty frustrating things about the engine. I would really really like cockpits as well because they would be super-awesome and immersive, but that's really all you can say about them. Not a critical feature of the game.

I wasnt aiming my post at you Amirite, I was aiming it at the post TSM made, I wasnt sure how to use the quote function when replying to another persons post so the whole post looked like it had been written by me, in fact the only comment I was making was at the end of my post, the rest of it was me quoting the post made by TSM. Sorry for the confusion .

Keep to the topic people i don't have time to play king solomon in squabbles so i'll just cut the thread in half and lock it if i have to.

Right where were we???
Ahh yes the "cockpit mod".....not seen many more responses from ArkBlade...so i wonder if he is still continuing to improve this mod?
Or anyone else for that matter! I Truly Hope So.

I would gladly Pay Egosoft tuesday for a cockpit today.

I guess it has been said enough... But does this MOD work... Last I saw you couldnt dock with it in TC... Anyone using it?

mrjingo · Post by **mrjingo** » Wed, 19. Nov 08, 21:05

it works... as long as you remember to change out of the cockpit view when docking at stations, changing sectors, and changing ships. Alot of the panels, lights, etc in the cockpits don't work also.

is anyone still working on the improvement of this mod?

TSM · Post by **TSM** » Thu, 27. Nov 08, 20:23

I suspect they are waiting to see if ES does anything to cure this issue in next patch

Kiwisdofly · Post by **Kiwisdofly** » Thu, 27. Nov 08, 21:07

Honestly, I've gotten so used to switching to outside view for warp gates and docking that I don't even notice it anymore.

Arkblade · Post by **Arkblade** » Fri, 28. Nov 08, 00:23

hi, The problem was not able to be solved though I tried variously from that.

I think that this problem can do nothing but wait for fix by EGOSoft.
Should I post this problem to Technical Support Forum?

TSM · Post by **TSM** » Fri, 28. Nov 08, 00:55

No as it is not an Egosoft feature.
