Mods are pretty common for PC games these days. It's fair to say that when the first modders started to ask questions and get creative, developers largely ignored them, and in fact often discouraged them. Times have changed - here at Egosoft we have always prided ourselves on taking as much initiative from fans as possible, and when some fans group together and create something as remarkable as XTM, we believe that they deserve as much support as possible.

So, if you're new to modding or just wondering what this new release will give you, check out the screens and read on.

Just what does XTM give you? Well...

- an incredible 90 new universe sectors, including the Terran Solar System and new race sectors
- over 90 new ships from all races, including the M0 and a selection of ships remodelled and brought back from X2
- new in-game effects, from weapons to soundtracks to planets
- new commands, new stations, new wares and commodities, even new ship types.

The list is endless, the download is not. Get XTM .7 now and open your eyes to an X universe created directly by the fans for the fans.

I've always been a 'vanilla' game player, but I'm proud to say that I've installed XTM .7 and I'm loving it. Don't take my word for it though - check out the trailer (you'll need Winrar) or look on Youtube. Not seen enough yet? Then get .7a from the links below, and enjoy!

Then, for those of you wanting to know more about XTM, the features and the people behind it, check your Inbox for a new X-News coming soon. Of course, the Egosoft development team are also rather busy at the moment on several fronts and we can't wait to bring you some more news soon.
