X3 - Page 9

CaptainHaplo · 12-12-10, 04:06 PM

Go ahead and start a new game if ya like....

I should warn you - XTC is installed "clean" - you clean everything out, install X3, patch it to 3.0, then install XTC. No keeping all your scripts and other packs. So enjoy what you have now while you have it. All I can say.

CaptainHaplo · 12-20-10, 07:03 AM

Ok - now you can stop playing that boring ol game...

X3:XTC has been released!

Find it here:
http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=293490

Told ya it wouldn't be long. Original plans were to get it out yesterday but there were some installer problems from what I hear. MAKE SURE to rtfm - especially the bit about the difficulty levels and the AL plugins! If anyone has any questions, post in the forum or just hit me up directly! ENJOY!

Great news!

I have been waiting to dive into this game for some time now. XTC looks really impressive.

cheers porphy

neat looking mod. That might be just what I need to get back into x3tc.

artao · 01-13-11, 06:31 PM

I wondered if I'd find an X-Verse discussion on Subsim. hee hee
I've only really gotten into X2: The Threat , as a friend gave me the discs many years ago. I never was able to play it, due to lack of a manual. Recently tho, I pulled it out again, and found the manual online, and WOW am I hooked now!!!
So much so, that over christmas I was talking to a brother-in-law about it rather enthusiastically. I mentioned the X-Superbox. He talked about Steam, and how he'd found the Superbox on sale therein. I've always been sketchy about Steam, but said that might tempt me to try it when I get home. He informed me it was a one-day-deal ...
Well imagine my surprise when I got an e-mail informing me my brother-in-law had sent me a gift of the Steam X-Superbox. Fricken AWESOME!!!
I've installed them all now (keeping my original X2 from the discs install), and tried each of them a bit. Very cool seeing the progression. Having invested as much time into X2 as I have, I'm gonna keep going with that one yet for awhile, but fully intend to play thru the whole series, at the least for the plot.
As far as X3: Reunion and X3: Terran Conflict (or the X-Tended mods) I can say that I will NOT be able to play X3: TC until I buy a new machine. And probably get bogged down pretty good in X3: R once I get a little ways into it.
Still, as I said, I'm completely hooked.
GREAT fricken game series. GREAT!!!

CaptainHaplo · 01-14-11, 03:41 PM

artao - yes the X series is great. I actually skipped X3R - I have it now but can't play it due to the difference in interfaces from TC.

XTC still has some bugs - but they are being worked on. Something this large we couldnt get them all, and had a set internal release date we meant to keep. Still - its major improvements.

Emjoy the series - X3TC is the last of the X series - although egosoft did note they are making another space sim...... sooner or later.

Spike88 · 01-14-11, 03:48 PM

Anyone know of any Ishimura models, for X3:TC or even XTC? I'd love to get my hands on one.

artao · 01-14-11, 05:39 PM

Well, with the immense replay value of the entire X-Series, not to mention all the available mods, I know I have literally DECADES of space-sim fun on my computer now.
I look forward to what Egosoft puts out next. I am impressed with them, rather, as a development company.
---perhaps a sub-sim?

LOLz -- [joke] i know they won't -- -- intersting side note is how similar spaceships and submarines really are.

I do indeed intend to try the X-Tended mods (there's a version for both Reunion and Terran Conflict, no?) ... but not until I've played vanilla for a career or two. Certainly I'll archive them for future use.

CaptainHaplo · 01-14-11, 11:45 PM

Yes the X3R mod made by the team is called Xtended. It adds a lot to the game from what I hear, but was not personally involved in that one.

Falkirion · 01-18-11, 08:00 PM

Ah I've been having fun with TC over the past couple of days. So far I've amassed a fleet of 6 ships. 4 TS's and 2 fighters. An M5 and an M4. I've been dealing mostly in Spacefuel, E-cells and used ships who's owners may or may not have been coerced into parting with them.

Falkirion · 01-27-11, 04:54 AM

Okay I'm giving in. Grabbing XTC now, going to start it tomorrow night if it all comes down while I kill the rest of tonight with Torchlight

Drewcifer · 02-16-11, 10:48 PM

Any feedback on the Big mod out for this thing? XTC I think its called? Arc I know I heard you say you started it? Anybody?

Just curious what it does, alters, changes, makes better, worse, etc to the game.. I'm overdue for a new start. Considering the mod.

Arclight · 02-17-11, 12:17 AM

Didn't get far into it, came just after I moved on. I tend to rotate games a lot, I'll get back to it eventually.

What it changes is pretty much everything. Whole new universe, but the familiar settting (same races, same ships though more, etc). I'd give it a try, feels like a whole new game.

Fans of the X series? Awake from your comas – the series is back with the freshly announced X: Rebirth. There’s four images, too. And a trailer!

Awesome. Though according to the trailer it sounds less like a true reboot and more like an indirect sequel.

I would love to see the X series go to some of the background events, like the Boron Campaign. If done correctly it could present a very nice change.

(Failed to spot this thread being back until now, so I moved this from the news thread)
