AVARICE is a sector that the player can own in X3

I mean just a few badges to choose from and patterns and colours. To make it really unique so nowt in the game looks as good and other ships are just as diff using a random generated look somehow.

Yeah, we also need the ability to have under-hull neon lights, a huge park-bench spoiler, large fartpipe, and GT-R badges for our ships.

Amps and speakers so powerful that your insides get scrambled.
Wound-down windows optional o'course.

(Why can I hear other ships in X3,by the way?)

I have to have TWO plasma engines just to keep my life support online when I listen to my on-board stereo.

Could be tricky to fire the guns in those big spacesuit gloves...

And sound doesn't carry in vacuum, still some trev would try it...that's always been an amusing thing about space games to me, the fact that everything makes noise. I realise it would be preetty crap playing in complete silence (or just with music theoretically in the cabin) but still, it's wrong

IIRC one of the ST Technical Manuals says that the Enterprise has speakers that simulate the noises of battle to help the crew cope better or something like that. Probably the same thing for X-3. That's why your ship has the ability to alter the volume of sound effects. *nodnod*

I hope paint-based scripts will be easy to work with.

Fair enough but will I be able to have pink elephants flying about?

Are the Bala Gi missions going to be availalbe to all the game start positions( ie- Bankrupt Assasin, Merchant, etc), or are they only for the main storyline?
I've only been playing the Merchant, and have not bothered with the main storyline yet. I've been having too much fun making money

. I'm wondering if I should start on the main storyline or not.
Thanx.

The BalaGi missions will be available in all game starts, plot or non-plot. Of course playing as a Kha'ak could make it quite difficult to actually accept them.

Can someone answer a question for me?

Does the new update contain any fixes? More specifically, will my shark's turrets be fixed in the new update so that I can actually fire from them?

I was really depressed after playing soooooo long to get my boron rep up, then spend all that money on a carrier, only to find that the ship didn't actually work.

Yes, there are quite a few fixes in the update. I believe that non-firing turrets are among these.

Well, if you searched on 'averice', you won't get much. But if you search on 'avarice', I think you'll find over 80 threads to choose from. For example, check these out:
