A complete universe map for X2, showing all sectors and jumpgates. As well as this it is labelled with all weapons, missiles, shields factories, as well as shipyard, equipment docks and dry docks. All you need to know to go and kit out your ship to kill everything in a hail of plasma-y death.
(And some other stuff too...)

I made this, 5 years ago, on MS Paint (god only knows why I thought that was a good idea?!), and it has been on GameFAQs ever since, and has since recieved over 20,000 hits. With Steam's guide feature coming out, I thought it'd be a kind of handy place to put a map, directly accessible from the overlay. So, I have actually included and updated a 5 year old map, for a 9 year old game. This is probably a final version, as it's a nightmare to update it on paint, and there's not a lot of room left in some of those boxes to get any more information in, but if you do have any suggestions, feel free to leave them on my steam profile, and I will see what I can do to fit it in.

If you want an even bigger version, you can find one on GameFAQs, which preserves the size a little better, here[www.gamefaqs.com]. It prints out quite nicely on both A3 and A4, if paper copies are your thing. I am happy if you want to distribute it, a design credit would be nice if you are going to, but not the end of the world if not.

Have fun, I always thought X2 was the best X game, and only half of that reason was because the Argon M2 looked like a gigantic flying penis.

***Update: Now Updated to v1.5.0, includes the locations of nebulae and their types, pirate bases, goner temple and laser tower factory, and have neatened up the map in places and upped the contrast on the icons to make them easier to see. Who says you can't update guides for 10 year old games?***

the guide is good but where do I repair ships

Awww cheers my dude. It's actually kinda nice to know people are still using something I put together on paint when I was a kid.

Right there with you, I got the game 2nd hand from Game. And it made me love the X series.

That's alright, the comment is more than enough to give me a kick, thanks :)

Best map available these days - in 2023 - yes, after 20 years of the game release (I still have the original CD's from then.. lol ).

Thank you!

(can't rate because some restrition said so...)

[telepsoron]

Help`s a lot. Thanks

What's up guys? Thought i'd throw in one more update for the die hard X2 fans amongst us.
So v1.5.0.:
-Marked Nebulae and their types on the map
-Marked Starting Pirate Base Locations
-Marked Goner Temple Location
-Marked Lasertower Factory Locations
-Neatened up many of the actual boxes.
-Repositioned some of the key
-Gave some of the icons crisper outlines to make them easier to see.


Probably a final version, but shout up if you see anything that needs correcting or any features you'd like added. Always good to hear from you guys...

Feel free to subscribe, rate, favourite and follow and all that stuff for any future updates. And hopefully this one map now can cover the functionality of a few of the guides in the steam section for X2.

Okay, finally got a round to it - version 1.4.4 with the correction to the Depths of Silence
(P.S. OOZ662, probably a good call on that stuff not fitting in the square - i did my best!)

[Void Walker]

Very useful. Thanks for posting it. Proof age does not effect value.

[Epideme]

Huh... right-o those will be added in my next version. Turns out by eye and memory was not the most rigorous way of doing this.

Ah you are very welcome. I made out from that exact set of logic, there was an (incomplete) list of stations, and the jumpgate maps, but nothing that combined the two, i just wanted something i could look at briefly and go 'Damn i want Gamma PPC's... where is the nearest place'. I do really like that 10 years on this game (and by extension this map) is still seeing some love and helping out folks who enjoy X2. Glad I could help.

[OOZ662]

Depths of Silence has B/GPPC, ID, and AHEPT forges, 125MW shield and Dragonfly factories, and shipyard/wharf/EQD...though fitting all that in the square is probably a pain Thanks for this, by the way; while the maps everyone publishes from Scorp's program are handy for gates, they don't have many handy details like this.

Okay, Fixed the company pride and Rolk's fate thing (Updated to v1.4.3)

Are there any shields / missiles etc. in company pride (besides anything at the equipment dock etc.)
