Only ever played TC, so never had an experience of what Extended did to change Reunion, but this looks epic, one more thing to look forward to next year, along with GCSEs...

I'm looking forward to exploring again. Flying into sectors that i have no idea whats ahead. yes, and space dragons.

I think that's the biggy for me aswell - Since x2 (what 7 years?) I've been exploring exactly the same Universe - Yes each evolution of X being an expansion, but essentially all the same...

... The prospect of flying through a gate to some unknown is going to be quite some event for me.

Oh and apparently the release date is the umpteenth of Jolember.

I enjoyed the mods for X3R,still have them as separate "user accounts".

I also had some scripts in X2.

Looking forward to Mod updates for TC now.This one looks good.

Can I ask a serious question now.

Well it be a new universe or will it be a bolt on!!!! I.E. Can you jump to it from the original universe just through a star gate!!!

done that on purpose or will you have to have a jump drive and jump into a sort of island or the new universe like we had to do with Aldrin, before we had the latest mod from egosoft?

If the latter I think that would be better as its a new frontier to X rather then running into a new gate on the exsisting universe, having said that, if the mod was good enough, and you chaps have written some fantastic ones for X. Will egosoft, like that have other mods in the past, post it on this site and have it as an official download?

OK MY serious question turned into a few thousand I know sorry for that. Im sure more fans out there would like these answered.

It will most likely be mixed in with the current sectors, or an all new universe.
Too many sectors could cause computers to lag and eventually burst into flames.

The old universe is thrown out the window, trampled, beaten with a stick and tied on the nearest railway.

Since there was no way to keep the old universe without slowing the game down to an average of 5 FPS (estimate) and no way to force the game to use two different maps in a save, it is not in the XTC at all.

So its an entirely new universe (meaning there are no Commonwealth sectors left).

I would like to sink one final boot in before the 3:15 comes along.

Be my guest, I'll even hold it still for you. ^^

Ok then at least see how big it is how many sectors to go through maybe!!!! Would it be worth playing if the said map was smaller????

costi · Post by **costi** » Tue, 13. Oct 09, 23:29

Wasn't it said here that it's 190 sectors?

Well of course we're not really allowed to say..BUT..figure that we couldnt do the old and our mod at the same time...in order to do ours, we killed and buried the old universe. I think I can say that without AS shooting me..lol.And for those wondering, there will be more than enough..OMG moments, our guys are working like racehorses getting stuff done, and believe me we have good people doing it..hehe.And yes there will be things,places and ships noone has EVER seen before..wooohaaa..(door flys open and writer gets drug away screaming...)

BlackCoffee · Post by **BlackCoffee** » Wed, 14. Oct 09, 07:47

and comments like that just makes it hard on us....i may hit myself in the head so i fall into a coma and come out when this mod is released. I mean that in the nicest way, i just can't stand the waiting.

yes, i was the sort of kid would rattled the boxes under the tree.

There will be no universe map before we release. This is due to some features we do not want to reveal beforehand.

The map is 190 sectors in size (Approx. I think it is currently 193, but not sure off the top of my head.).

This does not mean much as a number, so as a comparison it is about the same size as the Vanilla X3R universe. Smaller that the standard TC uni, but by no means small.

TTD · Post by **TTD** » Wed, 14. Oct 09, 12:47

Smaller map...not so graphic intensive....I think my rig will manage it better than with TC. I'm in tweak-city atm and looking backwards when I try to dock with my megaplexes.
