I spent a lot of time mining to save up for gadgets. Built myself a couple of
level 10 ones which made almost no difference. So sold all the remaining
minerals I had and bought a medium fighter. Had those dual rail guns things on
too. Took on one of those blue chip missions and sniped at the lead target
from as far away as possible. I had a level 10 targetting upgrade installed
which didn't seem to make a lot of difference. 4 ships came after me and blew
me to bits. At this point I un-installed it with extreme prejudice. X3 Reunion
this ain't! I could take a medium to heavy fighter into Xenon space and dual
with a whole boatload of enemies and take loads down. Not here. There is
something deeply wrong with this game. Most reviews I have read of it since
say the same thing. The combat is just borked for want of a beter word. One
review I read said that he and two wingmen fought it out with one enemy for 15
minutes. 

I suggest for those that wish to retain their sanity stay well clear of this
game. There aren't that many alternatives out there but what there are, are
far superior to this slap dash effort.
