Just wanted to let you know, since you talked so Highly about x3: the reunion, I decided to pick it up and its been good so far!  Thanks for the suggestion.

So...shall we talk about X3: The Reunion...? Or could this have been better as a private message...

X3? Xmen 3??

Thanks for the link.i dont play pc .but dang that looks like an awesome game!

Yeah, get accustomed to the egosoft forums, there's TONS of useful information there. Expect to spend a few weeks learning how to play the game. It is a VERY hard game to start tho. Expect to spend a week or two in frustration of trying to get the next ship, only to have something kill you, and you fergot to save. (damnit) There are so many diffrent ways to play, and do things, I couldnt even give you a reccomendation, other than combat is VERY dangerous, and gets you off to a VERY slow start. Trade... is VERY slow... and well... isnt always that great. Expand, is the best way to go in my opinion, you dont make wealth as fast, but it just comes, without you having to worry, only problem with that, is you need about a 20million isk investment. (build factories) X3 is one of my favorite games of all time, and it will be towards the top of all time, as there are no games like it. Likely only new X games will top it's complexity.

Sorry, I was tired when I made the original post and didn't think to send a pm =). As the the game itself, the saving part has bitten my butt several times, especially after a good 4 hour session of trading then I accidently ran into a freaking asteroid. Oh man, was I pissed =)
