Interesting. Anyone know what ever happened to the "DON'T PANIC" thread? That was one of the best resources for all the different stuff I saw on here. The link is here: http://www.egosoft.com/x2/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23637

Also, on that note, Logan's site is quite useful: http://www.logaans-site.co.uk/x2/viewforum.php?f=1

I actually have pages that categorise them:

Clans and Guilds
Creative & Fiction
Guides: Misc
Links
Misc Bits
Resources
Scripting Related
Guides: Ships
Guides: Scripting & Modding
Guides: Trading

I only use the forum as a method of storage and voting. Oh and anyone can submit a new Guide/Resource by using the Submit Resource link

I might also be making guides when X3 is delivered to me.

I would like to recommend you add Chips' Newbie Guide to this list.

For those who have no previous experience of the X Games series, it is invaluable.

Nice post btw
