Yes the new manual is good to have, and with 1.3 patch the game runs smooth.
However, a few days after buying x3 I tried out a offer for EVE - on line. Since then I'm stuck there.... "Just have to log on and se if someone bought my stuff and if the skill training is done..."

It is a huge universe in EVE and I feel really like a newborn, moving around carefully and mining some useless mineral as ppl go by in BIG space ships that costs many many millions isk...
Cheers porphy
