Meh. Atmosphere that gets me killed is atmosphere I can do without.

He's talking to you Venus.

What, are you sitting still long enough that one of those struts creates a blind spot that an enemy can hide in? Are you that pathetic a pilot? Please. Quit whinging about the cockpit. It ain't real, and its almost certain it can be turned off. We already know the VDUs can be turned off.

Wow, I was beginning to think Egosoft was dead a while back. Those are nice graphics. (Though I have a feeling I won't like the ship design)

I personally like the I-War 2 suns since on average most of them seem bright enough to be a little more like real stars when close.

You're right, of course. Clear canopies are a complete waste of taxpayer money, a sop to spoiled fighter pilots. Cockpits jammed with struts and paned glass are every bit as effective to fly in. Continuous visual contact and spotting enemies from far away are grossly overrated capabilities.

Idiot.

Ah, are we talking about reality again? I could have sworn we were talking about a video game.

Idiot.

Kamikaze · **Reply #27 on:** November 06, 2003, 11:21:38 pm

I guess I should stop you before the admins come to hurt you. Shut up, both of you.

Idiots.

Hey, it's not my fault mikey is too pigheaded to recognize those occasions when real-life and video game considerations overlap. The fact that you're flying in space vs an atmosphere doesn't make the advantages of a clear canopy any less relevant.

"Who cares, it's only a videogame!" is the hobgoblin of little minds.

Okay, cool down. Both of you.

Getting back on topic, the game looks fantastic - I only hope the gameplay matches... the original X was way to slow moving and dull for my liking. If they can get a decent trade etc. system in there with IW2 combat going on from time to time... well, there'd be potential...

I've linked to the Egosoft site, here, so if this is a problem, just delete the piccy link

Those are Bobboau's long engine plumes!

X-Beyond the Frontieer was good...

X-Tension was better...

X2! X2! X2! .......

Flipside · **Reply #36 on:** November 09, 2003, 08:43:49 pm

OH, those 'turbulent' suns are quite easy to do as BMP's if you can do fractal surfaces.....

This can be done in other colours, this ones a bit overly black, but I'll work on it

Edit : Yes, and I'm showing off

Are the ships in X2 fighters, to begin with?

Flipside · **Reply #38 on:** November 09, 2003, 09:07:19 pm

Some were, some weren't, but I never had a problem with the cockpit getting in the way. I played x and xtensions, and the biggest problem was one that we can all sympathise to, the AI on most shipped sucked a great big peppermint.

Nico · **Reply #39 on:** November 09, 2003, 09:31:37 pm

that makes me want to reinstal Iwar2, too bad I can't play that on a laptop
