With version 3.0 in Decembre, there comes a first addon as DLC that will be free for players who had bought X-R before November 1st.
The Teladi Outpost will add two completely new sectors and a new storyline (for which I will care as much as for the main quest: not at all, that is
), and must be logged for early order already now however, from the game's Steamshop site, since the subscription must be made before a certain date that already has been moved back (originally the offer ended on Nov. 1st). After that it seems to cost money even for those who bought the game before November.
So if you already own the game, make sure you check that you have the Teladi Outpost early-ordered in your Steam account.
I'm still enjoying my second visit in the X-B universe. It is far more active, there far more events and movements, far more action, raids, battles. The new menu system works still not ideal, but much better than originally, one can work with it. No more repetitive running through the station tunnels.
Oh, and the zombie-looks of the faces are gone as well.
The whole universe interacts far more dynamically than before. And boy, is it running super-smooth now!
Memory may fool me or not, but there is more environment sounds, I think. Unrealistic in space, IknowIknow, but so is thecolourful Blade-Runner-looks of the giant space stations as well. It all adds tremendously to the atmosphere.
New cockpit variations available as well, from fighter pits with extra vision and as little cockpit obstacles as possible, to transporter bridges. Every refit costs coins, however.
