I'll be waiting a few weeks for the mac version to come out :cry: but am a bit curious: I know the new mini plots aren't available for Terran starts. But what about some of the other non-plot starts? Right now I'm a poisoned Paranid. Should I keep building my empire or should I abandon this save and start over as Argon?

Great, now I can get into the game again :D

So, is the escort carrier an M7 like the Panther, or a light M1?

If this is no joke, then AP is going to have been the only X game i ever paid the full launch price for. This is kind of screwing players over, now with repeatedly NOT making it perfectly clear beforehand that only one gamestart is viable.

Yeah. I myself was making a similar remark. But i did not honestly believe Egosoft would really do this. For me, playing terran, AP is a straightout UNSUPPORTED game. And that after the Terran Defender start in TC that was one of the most popular and also one of the most recommended for newer players - saying the current situation "shouldn't be a surprise anyway" is just wrong. All that without a clear statement from Egosoft that made it perfectly clear to everyone beforehand that only one of the WAR game starts would include access to the full game.

For me, that killed all interest in playing AP any more. It also made it that much easier to decide which games to give a try this year and which game to put on the "once it is on sale" list.

it was recommended for new players because it was a tutorial plot. =P after that if you wanted to play terran again theres was a USC commander and the aldran adventurer, and you picked one depending if you wanted to redo the first half of the terran plotline or not.

and mr. egosoft representative (CBJ) DID state in the survival guide under the WAR! section that only the argon side of the war had plots enabled.

Thank you for reminding me on that one.
CBJ wrote: The main game plot story is available from the Argon Peacekeeper gamestart but not the Terran Commander one.

Aside from the plot, choosing one of these gamestarts does not limit your other options in the game.
"*THE* plot". "Does NOT limit your other options in the game".

I can not see how this is a totally clear statement to not expect future plots and most of all how this is an announcement that one of the game starts would not feature PHQ/HUB/UFJD, which are pretty much implied by "other options in the game".

So no, Catra, i understand you're valiantly trying to defend ES out of whatever mislead fanboy reasons ever, but what you said is simply not true.

Also, the terran defender start was not only a tutorial start - i played my longest game of TC ever from that gamestart. Trying to diminish the role of the past terran defender start to counter my argument is a bit questionable.

Omg you guys need to buff the Kyoto after this. This destroyer looks like the EATER OF WORLDS.

Flak on top bottom and maybe back

I'm going to have to retire the Battleship Yamato (Kyoto) :(!!!!!

AND IT CAN FIRE FLAIL BARRAGE MISSILES. WHAAAAAAAATTTTT.. AND ITS HANGERS ARE ACCESSIBLE...

Sorry, I'm just surprised about this huge buff.

OMFG, this is one big mean m**erf**er... Flail barrage on a non M7M ship seems like a bug though. Enjoy it while we can :) Who would bet on the same ship getting nerfed in whatever next patch is going to be?

From News:
"We are pleased to announce that X3: Albion Prelude 2.0 is now available!
One of the new mini-plots draws the Boron deeper into the war than ever before and provides the player with access to the mysterious Xenon HUB. The second re-introduces the secret Unfocussed Jumpdrive and the mighty Player Headquarters, the latter providing a new function to easily equip newly built or bought ships – a function that all fleet commanders will no doubt appreciate.

Unless you're playing as Terran, in which case, We're all racist against Terrans. So what we really mean is, not all fleet commanders, just the one's we like"
