@ductape - I'm heading out of town for the coming week, but when I get back I'm going to go with the Eve trail to see if it's something I could get into. Thanks for info.
@creodor - That sounds pretty darn cool actually. Again, when I get back I'll have to get into it and see whats the deal.
As for X3: TC - Well...it looks good, plays really smooth and has the trading, building empire type stuff that's cool too. But alas, I really don't like the travel from sector to sector mechanism. Maybe I haven't played enough, but having to enter this gate to get to that gate, then that gate to get to another gate, then another gate to get to 45 gates closer to where I actually want to be. It's as bad as questing in Dragon Age II...talk to this guy, now get this item and talk to this guy, he says take that item to another guy who then says take it back to him, and then again I have to take it over to someone else...aaaaahhhhhhh! (Sigh
I shouldn't HAVE to follow a flow chart to have fun, right? Course, maybe there's a quicker way to go from sector to sector I don't know about. Oh, it also took me like 4 hours to figure out how to change ships...the wiki has no info on it and the FAQ on main site blows chunks. A help section in game would be "helpful" too, as would pop-up tool tips so you don't have to click on everything in a sector just to find the 1 station (which is always the last thing left to click on) you want to dock at. Yeah yeah, I know there's the find in sector option but blah...click click, click, clicky, click click. BAH!!!
Ok, sorry, slight rant there, my bad.
Again, thanks for input guys.
Take care,
