In my opinion most of the scrips complement each other and are rarely in competion for a podium spot.
I have most of Cycrow's scripts and many others (32 scripts) running great with the Xtended Mod 0.6a.
Here is some important advice!! Use the Less Asteroids script it improved my game by about 10 FPS on average. All it did is to do away with the multitude of small insignificant asteroids that just waisted processing time.
Remember to run any extra mods like the Cockpit and Min Hud mods as false patches.
Here is the link to the Community Script & Mod Download Library for X3

I use over 30 scripts and using Cycrow installer, install at wil, try them and turn them off if I don't like them. I found that using th eFusion MOD was a good start (afer a re-install) as it reminder me of the most important ones.
I probably wouldn't be without all of the Cycrow scrips and the Figter Command / Task Force scripts (being repackaged).

Yes. DDRS or the Xperiment Fusion Project.
Both got Xwings and Tie fighters.

Whooooops...
In that case you'll be happy with the Xtend-Mod. Adds new ships and no Xwing and Tiefighter-stuff.

|

I'm a little confoosed. Running the xtended mod at the mo and really quite like it. So, some questions:
1. Is XFP better or worse than Xtended mod
2. Can XFP be installed alongside XTended mod
Thx 4 any replies

1. Xtended have a better performance because it changed some of the graphics (better now) that improved the FPS. Otherwise it is up to your personal taste:
- Xtended: goes for quality and not quantity.
- XFP: focuses on quantity and wants to include almost everything (bigger universe and many more ships).
2. No mods are compatible unless you merge them yourself. Because they change many of the game's main program files like the map file in XFP's case.
I am using the Xtended mod and I am having a ball
I also have over 30 scripts running with no problems thx to the great coordination and management of scripts on this website.

I'll try to be unbiased.
Xtended I view more as an expansion pack than a mod. It keeps with the X3 style and focuses a lot on new ships to fill gaps in the current X3 ship classes. Also quite story driven, with several BBS missions and a fledgling plotline. It also currently uses an unmodified universe, so savegames are compatible. Its a much more focused, centralised approach to modding, so is more cohesive and 'believable'.
XFP is actually quite different, much more diverse (Star Wars ships and sectors, for example). There are more sectors, more ships (I think), and several top scripters have specifically modified their scripts to fit better with XFP. They have a much more open approach and just seem to include as many options for the player as possible, with somewhat less regard to cohesion.
So, for me, its the difference between an immersive 'realistic' experience with Xtended, or a free and open-ended 'so many things to do' experience with XFP...
Be interesting to hear feedback on this opinion...

He forgot DDRS though. It's not too bad.

xtended balnces the game a lot more mainly by creating some ship classes that help fill the huge gap a player must overcome between M6 and M2

the main difference is really the aim of the 2 scripts.
Xtended is create by a specific team, whereas XFP is created by everyone.
XFP is deigned to allow the "smaller" modders to get thier work into the game, which is y it can appear quite random
