It's an absolutely brilliant game, but it eats computers for breakfast.

Could try X2, that's much easier on the system.

i could try to play it too schlurbi

learn together xD

There isn't much of a tutorial, you just need to look up the controls then learn as you go along.

Nah, it's not hard to pick up. X3TC controls will be the easiest for you, probs.

I never got to fleet level, unfortunately, but I did get a couple of stations. I might break X3TC out again over summer and play it properly.

notice how he says 'over summer'? it'll be a while

Well, I've got 3 weeks left here

Ah, yes, the turret mission was slightly odd. As a tip, go back and collect all the missiles they dropped, they're worth a fair bit.

i survived that mission, my PC doesn;t like it and after three attempts i finallygot it to work.

except no floor to the level. buildings kept spawning in and out as did the enemy.

i only just did it. despite techinical difficulties.

The traderoutes are dynamic, it's all supply and demand, which changes constantly. Also, if you want the best money making for a ship, get "Trade Command Software MK3" and set up a sector trader (then a universe trader when high enough). It's expensive, but can work really well. You may need to find out some more info on how to use it.
