 Posted: Fri, 17. Apr 09, 14:20 Post subject: The X3 Online / Multiplayer FAQ |
   |
|
X3 MMORPG, X3 LAN, X3 Serial, X3 PBEM, online game design philosophies, online adapted X3 universes, ideas in the shower, scripts and play modes, pkilling, fraud, and griefplay... all this and so much more has already been covered.
Please use these existing threads.
That's what they are for.
Creating yet another "I want X3 online" thread is not going to be helpful when so many are already there, just waiting for your words of wisdom.
Reminder:
Do not just bump these threads. All that achieves is getting them locked, thereby defeating your purpose.
(That means it's the stupid thing to do.)
Polls
In case you must have another poll:
The average result of X Multiplayer / Online polls are
Online yes: 41,9 %, Online no: 62,4 %, Don't care: 4,5 % with peaks of 80+ % for as well as against.
Please pick the one that applies closest:

This list is incomplete, I'm afraid, but it should be sufficient to answer 103.7 % of the "X3 online" questions.
Those threads apply to X1 through X3:Terran Conflict/Albion Prelude but neither the questions, nor the answers, nor the reasoning have changed so nearly all threads can be considered "current information".
Keywords: X3 Reunion Terran Conflict Multiplayer Online Deathmatch LAN Serial

I stand by my desire to have versus mode x3 
From the other thread.
| Quote: |
Just have 1 sector, big and empty (about 150km across), give 2 players a certain amount of credits (decided at the beginning of the current game), and 1 shipyard (home base) each that has all possible ship/equipment/software in the game (except, perhaps m7ms, or make their missiles limited to 40 flails 20 hammer torps each, and limit m8s to 50 tomahawks each). The base can also sell things like lasertowers, squash mines, and satellites (for recon).
Each side also gets 2 medium weapons platforms (this part is configurable at the start of the game) for base defense.
The player who gets their home base destroyed first loses.
|
Yes, full blown multiplayer x3 would be a disaster, but I think space duels would be fun as hell.

Obviously this one's a keeper. Gazz, perhaps a little prose at the top summarising the salient points?

Probably both. That list has plenty of open threads to reply to. =)

Ye gods, you're right. Quick, someone seal the breaches!
Gazz, just prose up top with a searchlink for X3 multiplayer and a reminder not to bump would be the way to go.

psst. The second thread down is nothing to do with X Online. It's someone asking how to add a signature picture

Actually, you could put it here
http://forum.egosoft.com/search/index.html
In theory that would keep "I want X3 online" posters busy for a while.
In practice we know that they never read or search or they would have found a dozen of these thread to reply to.
