The link here goes to my handbook page, which has the download and a mirror to respawn.

I've also repacked the old zip file to include the v2 guide, in case any old links around the place were directly to the old zip.

Problems solved. :)

The X3 Handbook version 2 is now ready for download.

An Indexed version is planned, but as yet, no availability date is known.

I've downloaded the zip file several times. It seems to be coming down the right size but winzip and winrar claim "unexpected end of file" and "corrupted". I also tried the mirror link but I get a message (even though I'm registered at respawn) that "you are not authorized to access this area".

I noticed just now that when I retried the download, it says the file is 5.61MB although the web site says it's supposed to be 5.75mb...

I d/l'd the file and it looks like it d/l's a file but I try to unzip and keep getting the message that there's nothing to unzip.

Unfortunately, there seems to be an ftp server error that is corrupting the file as I upload it. I've logged it as a problem.


For now, please download from Giskards site.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I've just done some stats work on my site.

The X3 Handbook has been downloaded off my site around 8,500 times already. Of this, version 2 has already been downloaded 500 times.

Thats an incredable number, something way beyond my expectations when I originally did it.

I'd like to ask anyone who has benefitted from reading the X3 Handbook, to please reclick on the download link http://circleofatlantis.com/games/X3/x3handbook.html and read my plea for support, to help renew my site and domain, so I can continue providing the Handbook download and my X3 writings. Any help is gratefully received.

@ apricotslice - nice work. I never saw the first one but this one is nicely done. I plan on spending some quality time reading it. Most of the stuff I already knew but a nice refresher. Some stuff I didn't know and plan to use.

Thanks again,
-NavyAICS.

just wanted to say how invaluable this handbook is. I've read and previously kept all the separate guides, but in between playing would forget this tip or that, then couldn't remember which guide had the tip! now I just keep the handbook, which I indexed the tips I need on a separate page. along with a few excels like the trade list, PCcenter's, and ship stats, the handbook is all you need.

Hi there, apricotslice.. :)
great guide - can't wait for the indexed version.. (- how's it coming, BTW?)

..but there's still a couple of items that should be included in the Handbook, which are of particular use to the beginner..

- obviously, the default keyboard layout..(- there are several available via the forum..) :roll:

- but also, a full and comprehensive expose on the in-game monitors and cameras
- it's hard to track down info on this one - the official guide is vague on the subject,
- and as far as I can see, the forums have yet to fully address the issue.. :sceptic:

- I've been doing some forum-hunting myself, but have drawn a blank on the full thing with the F1, F2,F3,F4 keys..
- same with the first and second monitor settings.. :gruebel:

- it'd be a real scoop if this were to be completed by someone with the full lowdown on the subject(s) (- any takers..??) :wink:
- the whole universe is running in BETA mode - we're working on it.. beep..!! :D :thumb_up:

I ahvent had time to look at the k/b thingies. They ahve to be converted to a jpg to be useful. If anyone has time to do the conversion and send me the jpg, it would help.

I have seen some isolated posts done on the monitors, but never stored them. If anyone cares to right a guide to using them, I'd be happy to include it.

Re indexing, I currently dont have someone to do it. Someone did offer, but I never got a reply for the last version. So if anyone can do this, please let me know.

i have 1.1 of this guide, and am curious to know if version 2 is worth downloading. if there are any specific sections that have significant overhauls, maybe i can just print those out, or is there enough new material (and/or has the guide been altered to address a more current version of x3) any advice would be appreciated.
