X2 The Threat... Near hating this game !

quinmalkiq · Post by **quinmalkiq** » Fri, 11. Nov 05, 17:56

Hello,
Even though I have only owned this game for 3 day's now, It is irritating the Hell out of me. The control's are all over the place, The Mouse Sensitivity is through the Roof and I cannot participate in combat, It appear's this game was made for the Joystick, not a Keyboard and Mouse... It doesnt matter what ship/shield/weapon's I am using combat never last's more then 1min at the Most... Unless there is a way to reduce mouse Sensitivity at least I will be selling this game to a second hand dealer... Two Question of which I expect to be ignored like all the other Forum's I have been posting at, I will try here !

1. Can I make a script that will allow my Ship Unlimited Shield Power ? (Eg : Nothing can damage my ship's shield's -- If you are against cheating, Please do not post !)

2. Is there a mean's to Reduce Mouse Sensitivity ?

Thank you for your time.
P.S. Does X3 improve upon this problem ? Can the Mouse/Keyboard be re-mapped ? or does it only include option's for the Joystick Sensitivity to be reduced ?...

u cant increase the amount of shields your ships have with a script so ur limited to what the ship already has unless u mod the ship itself to give it more shields

afaik u cant change the controls or anything to do with them via a script
the mouse play is much better in x3, as x2 was never really designed with the mouse in mind

Hello,
Thank you for your reply. Although you didnt appear to understand my Sheild question.... I dont want to increase the amount of shield's my Ship has. I want to make my ship Invincible (like a God Cheat)
Thank you for your time.

Actually he is correct. There is no God Cheat. In order to make your ship less vulnerable, you have to mod the number and strength of shields it can carry. Doing that will modify all the other ships of the same type.

I suggest you get a well shielded ship like a Nova and give it some time and practice. It will get better.

Try the Firelance mod. Turning rates on ships have been reduced so they are joystick friendly. Also, combat works in it. You can get the mod in my sig and read what all it does.

If you don't want the mouse to be so sensitive, simply don't install any rudder tunings in your ship. I'm almost positive you've overtuned your ship, and that's your problem.
Cheers.

If you have just installed X2, check and make sure that you have all of the patches through 1.4 (patch 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4). Some of these will make game play a bit smoother. But, give it time; this game has a long learning curve.

Hello,
To answer some point's, Yes upon installation I had downloaded and installed all the patch's up to v1.4
Also, the point about ship upgrade's, I havent brought a single thing for my ship, It has what ever it started the game with, I still trying to figure out how to fly, No way I am installing anything apart from Missile's.
Thank you for your time.

buy Freelancer and play that instead. This is obviously not the right game for you.

Thank you for that comment, I'll put it in my list of things to say when i feel like participating in a little schadenfreude .

You can't be invincible but go to X2 source
On this page there are cheats to get money spawn any ship all sorts.
Try lp.fleet.ships you can spawn if you want 100s ships to help you and make you practilaly invincible.

Hello,
I brought Freelancer last year, I finished that game with in a few hour's, and the limited game play after the main plot was rather limited. When I heard of X2 I brought the game, I've been practising combat on the Argon Mercury's + Pirate Bayomon (I think that's the name). Mouse/Keyboard control from a lot of helpful tip's I have recieved from this forum + X2 Source Central + X2 & X3 Online Universe, have made the game seem less impossible, Alot of thing's are still beyond me and I doubt I will continue playing X2 after I buy X3 on the 28th (australian public release date), I will be buying the game for $85 Australian Dollar's...

So, Thank you all for your helpful and not so helpful advice, It has helped greatly.

Thank you for your time.

afaik and in my opinion .. the best way to make the playership indestructable ..

make a new 125MW shield .. set its recharge rate at 100% (meaning it will fully recharge in a sec.) .. and load it via scripts on to your ship .. however this takes some modding/scripting skills ..

Hello,
Sorry, I have no skill's relating to scripting or modding, The most I do is stuff around in Gmax/Photoshop CS making 3d model's of anything (when I have free time, and when I do have free time I usually play a computer game or two). If someone could post here what I should type in the game I would be rather greatful

Thank you for your time.

Hi,
I've just got back into X2 (x3 runs poorly on my tired old beast. Flying through Seizewell is like watching a power point slide show. ). Anyway I use the mouse. I think you just need practice and then a bit more practice. Oh and gentle inputs work best.

Plus if your just starting out your in an Argon Discoverer right ? which isnt exactly the best ship to go mixing it up in . I would strongly suggest using the simulator. It'll teach you a few things but best of all your in an Argon Nova (3x25m's) so your life expectancy will be a lot higher than in a disco.

Please persevere it is worth it imho.
Good luck.

I'm going to assume the last comment means that you're expecting the user to die in the game often, since he hasn't mastered using the mouse to control his ship.
I'm going to assume this, since if the last comment was directed at the user personally, I'd have to lock down this thread and discuss whether or not you should be banned from posting in the forums completely.
