3 when someone asks a question on the forum and another peron answers it then says not sure about the rest you fill in the missing information easially without refering to the FAQ

True facts, except that 1 monnth is nothing, I still remember my game from 6 months ago, and might still remember in another 6 monts

You knwo you've played too much X when :
You build a fully autonomous "every kind" complex and conquer the universe in one night, in your dreams.

You know you've played too much X3 when...
-You wonder why the global energy crisis can't be fixed by a few 40Mcr self sufficient ecell complexes,
-you hear flak blasts during music classes,
-you wonder how long it'd take the Arrow to do the 1500 metres in PE,
-you try and fire a mosquito missile at the person running in front of you during said 1500 metres,
-you find it more interesting to plan raids on Xenon sectors than listen to what your maths teacher's saying,
-you wonder why nothing in real life looks as awesome as the Phoenix,
-you name stars after sectors in the X universe when looking at the night sky, and...
-You live in constant fear of a Khaak invasion, and refer to your RE teacher as the 'Priest Duke'(Not necessarily true).

Endless others, but I won't steal all the possibilities.

When watcjing a movie and hear "under attack" you instatnly try to reach your "r" key to check which asset is under fire.

-When pulling up to your carport, you release your hands from the steering wheel because you think "Auto-pillock" has been engaged.

-When you accidentally call a pilot a "pillock".

-When you attempt to order a "Space fuel" at your local pub. (Note: I've also attempted to order a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.)

-After said attempts, you get pulled over, and when the officer ask you if you know why he pulled you over, you respond, "You scanned my vessel for contraband?"

You refer to your car's gps as the "sector map."

You say you're going to "com" somebody when you make a cell phone call.

You check the "sector map" to see if the babysitter's house is within range before "comming" her to say you're done work and on the way over.

When you spot a periodic table and ask your friends what they think Boron, Argon and Xenon are, and correct them when they say "Theyre elements..."

...when you're chucked out of university, because you couldn't pass the exams and then praying online universe will come with a real-money-system, that makes you thinking you don't need a job.

Hope that means I havent played too much.
I don't think that's possible anyway, because after constantly playing since X-btf, I'm still not tired.

You know youve played too much when you decide to go to a sector then hear "Auto pilot engaged" ---- you set your course without thinking.

Happened to me once or twice. quite scary coz i was aiming for a specific unknown sector, and got it, without noticing i was doing it.....

When your court defence for car theft is that it had no driver and it wasn't moving.

Hi,

A real fly crawls across your monitor screen and you fire the laser cannons at it then try and capture it with the space fly scoop!

You know you've played too much X when...

- You here the name of an animal and you immediately think of a Teladi or Split ship and how you would load it out.

- You think you can just turn the voice volume down when you hear an overly verbose female talking about things you already know.

- You use a program to record the soundtrack from various sectors and then use those to fall asleep to like a "ocean dream machine".

- You watch a movie on your computer and you reach for AND press the Pause/Break key to pause the movie.

- You wonder why the autopilot docking for your car doesn't work.

- You try to install a Turbo Booster MK1 on your car so you can get where you are going faster.

- You refer to the purchase of real weed as a unit of space weed... *done that*

- You know that the way to fix the national deficit and financial crisis is to build massive over-the-top space weed complexes and fuel them with large arrays of solar power generators to attract tourism and have a new renewable resource and cash crop...

- You go to the bar with some friends and get drunk enough to order a mug of Space Fuel

- You know that the way to fix the national deficit and financial crisis is to build massive over-the-top space weed complexes and fuel them with large arrays of solar power generators to attract tourism and have a new renewable resource and cash crop...

The sad thing is that this is probably true.... just remove the word space...

Didn't know 'til a couple of weeks ago that my car makes a sound when you let the diesel get down to about 30 miles worth.

The sound it makes is extremely similar to the beep that tells you something is probably about to shoot at you in the world of X.

For the tiniest moment I was bricking it...

Well a few years ago there was car called a Vauxhall Nova !
