It's in the encyclopedia in 2.6 though, so if you buy it you can see what it looks like.

Played 2.6 over the weekend and things are turning in a great direction.
Fleet formations - working! Awesome to see fleets flying together and fighting in formation. Also if you change a formation, the ships respond, and immediately start to change to that formation.
Xenon - Not sure yet whether the Xenon are getting overrun. Xenon have taken over Company Regard and pushed into Ianaums Zura IV placing down defense stations. However, they were pushed back, and now Teladi are pushing into Matrix #451. Paranid have taken over Faulty Logic I and pushing into Faulty Logic III. Xenon were also pushed out of Hatikvah's Choice as well.
Personally I would like to see more chaos from the Xenon/Khaak, and larger fleets sent on a real assault instead of minor raiding parties here and there. I like the idea of a dangerous universe. Also there should be lots more pirate activity going around. I should have to protect my traders, but how it is now, I just send them out alone and most of the time they are safe.
2.6 is a good step in the right direction though so far.

It's getting close to the need for an Unofficial 3.0 "is it here yet" thread. I'm aware it's destined for the fourth quarter (starts a week today,) and I think it's only right we should be apoplectic a week into the fourth quarter when it hasn't dropped. (I realise it'll be probably in the weeks running up to Christmas it and the Split Vendetta are released.
My wish for it is to have some of the denizens wandering about on stations offer missions when we talk to them. - Little steps towards making the 'inert' elements a little more interactive.
My technical wish is to see the 'around the station stutters' eliminated, as these destroy immersion for me.

“That explains its unusual shape,” Styanar said, grinning openly now. “Although it does little to illuminate just why your jowls are so flaccid or why you have quite so many chins.”
“I…” Had she just called him fat? “I am just a different species, that’s all.”
“Well nature sure does have a sense of humour then,” Styanar said. “Shall we go inside? It’d not be a good idea for me to be spotted by others.”

Yes, those unclaimed sectors where pirates usually set up shop should be brimming with pirates and really dangerous to travel through. It would also make you think twice about simply building a defenseless station in an unclaimed sector and take the sector as your own. If you want to take an unclaimed sector, you'll need to clear out the pirates and make it safe first.aviticus_dragon wrote: ↑Mon, 23.

BUT, and this is a big but, Jennifer Lopez size:
Egosoft must fix the locked SCA relations first, otherwise it will just make things even more cheaty than it already is. If unclaimed sectors were brimming with pirates, then it will just be a huge buffet for picking up free ships with zero consequence. If you drive pirates out of a sector by force, or grab away at their ships, they should actually get pissed off and hit you back.

I really miss X3 pirate alleys and xenon alleys.

Yes man, so much yes when I had to get a kestrel to go through those without problems, fun times
Fixed ships getting spawned away from ship configuration menu at resupply ships from automatically getting deployables.

I am using the latest Beta, and my quasars will not go into formations when I am in the lead ship...has this been taken out as all I get is just the arrow symbol and nothing else shows like it had in the regular version.

It's reached beta 4 phase, but the Teladi still haven't been given buttholes which seems to have caused a bit of a blockage.
