X3 Terran Conflict Question
Hi, I would like some questions answered before I buy the game, if someone can answer them please.
1. Has the station management interface been revamped? (min max stock levels, diff price levels, see production costs in complexes, unification of station info with production panel?)
2. Has the station - > ship -> comodity management been revamped?
3. Have the endless cascade menus been improved?
All in all i would like to know what the improvements in functionality, usability, menus, station management, station ship management ( no more need for hugely complex and annoying CAG), station AI, missiles, economic balance etc? In other words, why should I purchase the game aside from new graphics, story and ships/stations?
Thank you

If your local equipment dock has to rely on a free trader to deliver those copies then you better hope it doesn't plot a course through a Xenon sector.Nanook wrote:Hmm, I just preordered from Egosoft, too. Being on the far side of the pond, in an unknown sector west of the sector known as 'Canada', I'm guessing it'll take a couple of weeks after release to get here.

What about X4 and an rpg elements like statistics, skills, moving in the space stations with a character and interaction with NPCs? Is that possible with your resources, Egosoft?
Seriously - any ES official that even hinted to an X4 right now (no matter how far out) would probably be fired.
Gamers are supposed to buy TC now and not to wait for "the real sequel".
A few months down the road anything can happen.
If the sales people are happy with the figures, the coding people get another assignment. =)

There is no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Had you tested X3:Terran Conflict ?There are many benefits to becoming a beta tester:
-You’ll get to use the new software before anyone else does.
-You’ll help us make our software better in ways that work for you.
-Your suggestions could determine the future direction of the software.
-You’ll get feedback right from the development team
What can you say about it if had ?

So it will be question without answer.

Thank you.
I remember non-useful answer very good:
SymTec ltd wrote:2:24: So, this AI that is mentioned here is the artificial intelligence, at that time represented by TerraFormer Robots, which were developed by the Terrans but then turned against their creators. And this is basically the background story; the existence of the TerraFormers lead to the Terrans forbidding any Artificial Intelligence.
[this is where I put the fingers in my ears and started to sing "la-la-la!" aloud, so I wouldn't spoil the fun of playing the storyline]

Having at last acquired the download trailers, viewing them, getting all emotional (goosebumps - from the music I think), I now am - not so reluctantly - shopping for a hot new rig to run this on, but will try it on my existing setup first though not too confident it will cope with those enormous stations (and of course will pre-order X3TC).
I have tried to get some Terra Australis game shops interested but am not holding my breath. I did get a return email from one of them - EzyGames (Australian online games shop) - advising they have entered it into their database - but have not had a reply from DeepSilver yet to their enquiry... well, I've done my bit.
Comment: those new pulldown menus (like 'wings') have a red colour scheme - I actually associate red with 'enemy' and like the existing 'everything green is yours', but hey, I'll get used to it...

think of it like this, the Egosoft shop is like any shop selling the game. They usally by the game at a certain price and then sell it on at a higher price for profit.danleach wrote:So, pre-ordering from the Egosoft shop is definitely the way to give Egosoft the biggest cut?
I want to buy it whichever way is best for Egosoft...
so buying it from the egosoft ship means that profit goes directly to egosoft instead of another shop
ALRIGHT EGO!! We here in the X universe thank you for giving us a new lease on life, from Ban, Julian and Saya, maybe even Elena?? I thank you. hehehe, ok enough jokes, running now to preorder through Ego site, definately looks like I'll be playing sooner than I thought, which is a good thing.
Congrats to all the Ego team and the XTM guys who worked so hard on this, I hope its as good as the vids and we'll all be thrilled, take a month off on me..lol.

Yea and if the move from X2 to X3 is anything to go by, I'm sure a lot of old X2 players are glad they are first going down the expansion route, as it gives them greater time to concentrate on content and gameplay.Gazz wrote:If your local equipment dock has to rely on a free trader to deliver those copies then you better hope it doesn't plot a course through a Xenon sector.Nanook wrote:Hmm, I just preordered from Egosoft, too.
