X3TC / X3AP Patch 2015

[h0nti_dat_b00n]

Hallo X-Community ,

I play AP now for 816 ingamedays and today I would like to say:

Fix the undocking "Megalodon" and other big ships by the Player HQ (If I'm in Sector), please.
=> Everytime by undocking one of my Megalodons from my HQ, I can reload my last save if I forget to jump out of the Sector.
=> The whole HQ explodes immediately after push undocking or what ever to my Megalodon.

Thanks for your time & reading my post

Now I want to say a few points these I really like to see in the next patch , and a few things that I don't want to see.

One thing that is actually useful and could be done easily is visible reputation for pirates & yakis.

+1 for visible this ranks!

A generic Pirate shipyard, not just one owned by the Yaki.

+1 for this idea!

Steam Workshop support for TC and AP?

+1 But how is it then with **modified**, this should be stay by the modpack for User they don't want a **modified**.

Easier and quicker marine training

-1 NO, that is a bad idea => The Game is a longtime Game, so please not.

=> But give us a Trainingstation for our marines, we can buy the Marinegunstation, the food for the marines but can't built a Marinestation for train them(I speak from vanilla).

-> It's your choice to give us a Marinestation to only train them or we can train slave's to Marines and train them.

But this point is not unimportant!

Allow the player HQ to RE and install ship equipment, such as Jumpdrives. Also allow it to RE and build stations.

+1 for this idea!

Add repair lasers as a ware, albeit rare.

+1

I like the idea of a Jump Beacon fab, though it should probably use resources sufficient that minimum value exceeds the maximum sale value of the Beacon (maybe a huge quantity of Nividium + various high-tech wares)

+1 I think this is a good compromise

Ability to disable the station-building cutscene--so annoying when building a big complex.

Performance improvements would be a big one.

=> A Performance patch for a middle or big complex. Many player's have a good PC but the complex performance should be better , please.




This are my favorites wishes, the rest of the community write enough more


Thanks for your Time Dev's and Community

Whether or not your savegame becomes *modified*, when you install a script/mod, doesn't depend on the installation method, but on the files it modifies / adds. Therefore every script/mod marking your saves *modified* now, would also do so when being installed through the Workshop (provided that will be supported someday).

If there won't be a patch, can you guys make a small hotfix to fix corvette's docking/undocking issues?

If youre talking about Khaak Corvette you can replace the model but if youre playing vanilla it will be *modified*


EDIT: About this "patch 2015" correct me if im wrong but its 2016 now and there's no sign of this patch...so anyways i came to conclusion that this is not going anywhere...

[JDCollie]

A vanilla version of Litcube's glorious Saturn Complex Hubs.

While the thread title may no longer be accurate, the possibility of some work in this area does still exist.

We did already go through and review the suggestions made up until mid-December to determine out which ones were most popular and which were most likely to be viable, but don't let that stop you posting more.

Oh then i apologize mate, didnt see previous page .

Anyways i do hope if you can add support for multi core processing, i know that the whole game must be recoded for that but is there some other way to do it?

Anyways glad X3 isnt dead yet and i look forward for the update.

Simple answer: no.

A hotfix for some M6s already exists. Download.

What do you think of an ability to pack the player's HQ back into a TL in X3TC, like in X3AP?

[Graaf]

Thats a lot of strange signs in that link. Personally I would prefer an official patch.

[{SAS}SK]

I'd love to see Improved Races added, with even just basic wars between races which you could pick a side to fight for.

Sorry, the link is actually broken.

To the wishlist: please, fix the inaccessible Pirate Stock Exchange, replace the Pluto's image by the New Horisons' one and... what about the Planet Nine sector in the Solar System?

And please, add a racing side quest to Freedom's Reach.

Hi all,
I am enter to the X Universe only from X3AP, and I play AP a few years only like Terran Commander.
I have some suggestions, some of them was posted before:

Gameplay sugestions:
1. AP needs normal Terran economy (shield factories, Terran laser towers, satellites and other goods);
2. USC police license, or may be USC volunteer license - only credits for the terran systems defence, no capability to scan ships;
3. ATF volunteer license - credits for the destroyed Xenons ships/stations in Terran sectors or in all universe, also it will be nice to have ATF reports about Xenon activity;
4. Terran ship supports Boarding Pods - may be exclusive as reward for plot;
5. Terran marines + ability to train marines on USC stations;
6. Ability to buy orbital weapon platforms, include Terran platforms;
7. Add more ships, for example like in XtraShipPack;
8. Ability to produce Jump Beacons (it must be very-very expensive);
9. Cability to install modules from HQ or another player station;
10. May be fraction raides to attack user sector/station if player has fraction ratio less than -1;
11. Visible Yaki/Pirates ratings;
12. Capability to build nividium mines.

Graphics/performance:
1. Support multithreading ^^;
2. HiRes background for sectors, like IEX;
3. HiRes cockpits.

I will be very glad If my opinion help to make X3 better. Thanks.

Certain ships exploding on undock has been a bug since X:Reunion was released and it infected all the later games, if they can't isolate and fix it in 11 years they won't be able to in this patch.

[Geek]

Do you realize there are third party scripts which fix this ?
So much for the complexity...

[Feersum]

Why there has to be a need for third party scripts to fix ancient bugs?

[Geek]

Yes, the devs should fix this.
Which seems the point of this thread.

Simple answer: no.

I know this won't happen but there are ways to do this - but as I've not seen the codebase I can't comment beyond what CBJ said - but usually a single processing game loop can be split into a couple of workers that calculate graphics on one thread, AI on another, sound on a third, and bring them all together again at the end using a synchronisation object like a mutex.

X3 could be more complex that that, but I'd love to see the code to see if its possible though

What do you think of an ability to pack the player's HQ back into a TL in X3TC, like in X3AP?

Why just the player HQ if you are going to allow the repacking of stations so you can move them might as well apply it to all stations and on the subject of moving stations would be nice to be able to move mines to other sectors as well because right now I have a ore mine on the biggest ore roid in the game to which I have a small 10 station typhoon complex attached and it would be nice to be able to move that to the player sector for easier defence and quicker resupply

one way to implement this is to make it possible to jump objects that are currently being towed if I’m towing an object and start a jump sequence the object will be pullet through the jump portal as well

or much slower way allow mines to be towed through gates and before you say it I know mines are to big to fit but that's an easy fix just make the model for jump gates bigger or make the model for mines smaller

also i'd like to see a reversion fixed in older X games when placing mines it was possible to control which way the entrance faced but for some reason in later games the ability to choose the direction that the mine entrance faces was removed this should be fixed so players can once again control the direction which ore mines entrances faces doing this doesn't eliminate the need for the tractor beam but it does save a lot of extra and completely unnecessary hassle
