Not wanting to give anything away, but have they modified Xenon behavior much? I just took over 101 and 347 and did not see one example of Xenon battle groups warping in replacements.
I would expect that in 101, but it surprised me that it did not happen in 347. Now, I did attack it during an invasion mission. Perhaps that's a reason?

It's been over a year since I last played X3, some time after the 1.3 patch. Really nice to see Egosoft releasing a patch that includes new content, and I'm really enjoying playing it again, but..
I'm still getting occasional crashes, but more problematic are the game crippling interface bugs. At first I thought 2.0.02 was alot better than 2.0.01 but now I'm still getting the same issues such as:
The menu buttons across the bottom of the screen display but they're blank, no text and icons.
The selected menu button at the bottom doesn't have it's background image displayed, only the text and icon.
The border around the top-left monitor window doesnt show.
Most of the keyboard keys no longer produce the function they should, like opening the local/universe maps.
The local map had no ship/station icons or text, only the window background.
I installed it from scratch: Install -> 1.4.03 -> 2.0.01 -> Bonus package 3.1.04 -> Cockpit mod 1.03 -> 2.0.02
Sometimes I've been able to play for hours before it happens, and it seems to happen when I enter a new sector.
My savegames seem fine and after quitting and reloading it works fine again. Parts of the interface going missing and malfunctioning can make it impossible to even dock to save before quitting though.
Again, I am really enjoying playing it again while it stays stable, but the issues I have with it can be really frustrating. I wish to cooperate providing any further information I can that will help any hope of resolution.

I have a problem with Bala Gi missions. After saveing transporter ship the guy told me that I should go to Unknown sector next to Mealstrom (or whatever) and than to the south to another one. But when I go there I can not find any ship. There is just one pirate base and few asteroids, but nothing else...
Can you tell me what is wrong? Please help.

hi, iam having a bit of trouble with 2.0.02, so far ive had no XI missions and very very few assassination missions to date. ive played x3 for over a year and never struggled like this, normally at this point (~3 days game time) i would have done a dozen or so XI missions and hundreds of assassination missions.
so far
0 xi missions
about 10 other 'killy' missions (lots of m5 transport/ stock transport ones though, but there no fun.)
iam running no mods.

It works at last!!!!
Whale oil beef oct........said very quickly with an Irish accent!!
Just updated on the off chance that I might be able to play at more than 3 frames a second......and it works!!! Wooohooooo, now I've got to learn all the commands again. One whole hour of basic gameplay and not one blip crash, delay or anything so far....great!
Thanks guys

Hi, all--
I'd taken a long break from X3, in part due to doing some remote consulting, but I am very happy to check back and see all kinds of goodies appear! I've played through long enough to get the PHQ, and thoroughly enjoyed the various Bala Gi missions.
I noticed that there seem to be a lot more pirates, and more pirate TS'es flying around. I also got my *M6* Centaur "ShadowJack" killed OOS by a Xenon patrol led by 2 x LX while it was patrolling Aladna Hill & Hatickvah's Faith...apparently, the new Xenon M3+ kicks butt OOS...?
Station announcements have been obviously changed with some randomized vocal content like different floor levels or docks; the mix sounds much more like a real-world airport, which is all to the good. More topical BBS missions, too.
I've found out where to buy the Argon & Paranid M3+s (Eclipse & Medusa?), but I haven't found where to buy the third M3+, which I think is supposed to be a Split Charon or something like that...? The Nova Raider may only have 50MJ of shielding now, but that Eclipse seems to come with 125MJ.
Sweet Kha'ak killer. Good against Pirates or Xenon, too. And that's not counting the M7. :-)
Anyhow, YAY EGOSOFT!

Back after update...
OK so I left off months ago. I have a fairly large empire (space fuel/weed complexes). I have an alpha flak array factory churning out weapons and also a single M2 Titan that is full outfitted w/BPPC and alpha flak.
I saw the new update came out and decided to get back into this. I got into the game last night and got familiarized again with the controls and also what I had going on when I left off.
My question is what should I do now? I've only played for about an hour and haven't got any comm messages coming in asking me to do anything. So I'm not sure where I need to start in order to get the new missions, get the M7, etc..

If I remember well, all you have to do is to fly around and have a good relation with Borons, paranid and splits (good enough to dock in their core sectors).
Well since you own an M2 means you passed the 10 hours requirement and complex means you have the minimum requirement of 1 station (unless complex doesn't count for, this in that case buy a single station )
well that's all I can remember, just wait for your boron friends to contact you
Good luck
