Spulciando nel forum inglese ho notato che sono stati sviluppati interessantissimi mod.
Uno di questi è il Massive War Mode (trovate la descrizione qui: http://www.egosoft.com/x2/forum/viewtopic.php?t=36840 ) che aggiunge un centinaio di nuovi settori, nuove missioni, etc..
La mia domanda è la seguente:
Qualcuno di voi ne ha provato qualcuno?
Ne vale la pena usarli sapendo che una volta installati non si potrà più tornare indietro (consigliato camdamente il backup dei save prima di installare qualsiasi mod)?
Insomma voi avete installato / installerete un mod si x2 e se si quale vi attira di più?
Mod, quanto mi tenti....

Ho dato un occhiatina al readme.txt e alla mappa e devo dire che ne hanno fatti di lavori extra per ampliare il gioco riporto qui per chi ne vuole sapere di piu una parte di readme.txt:
Maps:
This mod contains 2 new maps, the Huge map has sectors which are more than 4 times the area of the original map, and there are now more than 200 sectors.
The stations,asteroids,etc have been spread out across the now larger sectors, so it may be difficult to find what you are looking for. I recommend exploring a sector before accepting BBS missions there.
The original 5 Khaak sectors have been linked to the map via jumpgates. In addition, more than 20 Pirate, Xenon, and Khaak sectors have been added. I have also added numerous hidden gates.
The regular map has over 200 standard size sectors.
Ships:
TL's get 1 additional shield, M2's get 2 extra shields, and M1's get 3 more shields. Pirate TS's get 1 extra shield and hornets are removed from them. All Pirate Ships got a small speed increase. The Osprey and Goner ship got a small speed increase, the Dragon got an extra forward laser, and the Hydra got an additional forward and rear laser. The Osprey, Dragon and the Manta got a price increase.
The Teladi Harrier has been converted to a resupply ship for M6's and M2's. It can carry 160 units of XL cargo and now has a max. speed of 100mps. Teladi officials claim the price will not increase.
Argon Intelligence has recently discovered the Split are working on a military version of their TP class ship, the Iguana. The new ship reportedly has improved shields and weapons over previous versions. Though strictly a military command ship, it is reported that civilians in good standing with the Split can purchase the new Iguana for themselves. It is expected to be considerably more expensive than older versions.
Bullets:
Nearly all weapons have received a 1.5x to 3x speed/range increase. Ion Disruptors and PSG's received the least improvement. PPC's and Laser Tower Weapons received the most improvement. Some small changes to damage were made so that each weapon is superior to the one preceding it. For example: the A-PAC is now superior to the G-IRE.
Rockets:
New Speeds: Mosquito=600mps, Wasp=400mps, Dragonfly=350mps, Silkworm=275mps, Hornet=200 mps.
Range changed slightly except for Hornet, range increased by about 250%. It was the shortest range missile, now it is much closer to the others.
Mosquito and Wasp got a maneuvering boost, Silkworm and Hornet got a decrease in maneuvering.
New Hull Damage: Dragonfly=1000, Silkworm=10000, Hornet=50000. (It's a nuke, isn't it)
Shield Damage unchanged.
***Pre-flight briefing***
It's been several Jazuras since the official end of the Khaak War. You returned to Argon One a tazura ago to attend Ban Danna's upcoming retirement ceremony. Then, a few monents ago, you were heading towards the officers mess where you were to join Ban Danna for breakfast. As you were passing the hanger bays you were startled by the collision alarm. It was silenced after a few sezuras and a desperate voice came over the loudspeaker. It was Ban Danna, "ALL HANDS MAN YOUR BATTLESTATIONS, WE HAVE AN INCOMING XENON CARRIER, SCRAMBLE ALL FIGHTERS"... You turn towards the hanger and make a dash towards your M5 as fast as your legs will carry you. As your Discoverer speeds past the open hanger bay doors, you hear the first of the missiles impacting Argon One, and you think to yourself, "There's nothing worse than fighting Xenons on an empty stomach".
If you're playing the Huge map, I'd like to say. "You'll be remembered for your loyalty and bravery against unbeatable odds"
