I deleted X2 and reinstalled it up to patch 1.3,i then reinstalled massive war mod 1.7.3,that is when the weired and wonderful things started to happen. 1 i got a major increase in the graphics ie the gray nebula became a creamy white,2 although i was running the war mod on starting the mod, game was grayed out as if it was excepting the mod as a normal game (regular mod)but no mission for bandana on start up but with all the extra sectors.3 all ships and stations were normal no extra sheilds or anything.4 the game runs very smooth.I dont know what i did when i installed the mod but i am pleased with the results,Dennis
just wait a few game hours to all the fightins starts. it will go back to its old self. warmod very much real CPU hog due to all the activity it stirs up
