 Posted: Fri, 25. Aug 06, 16:02 Post subject: NEWS: X³ 2.0: Bala Gi Research Missions |
   |
|
Update Nov 2nd, 2006
An updated announcement can now be found here: http://forum2.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=159072
-----------------------------------------------------------
In the great tradition of the X series games, a bonus for fans old and new, a very special X³ update from Egosoft.
In Q4 2006 EGOSOFT will release a final update to X³: Reunion under the title X³: 2.0 Bala Gi Research Missions.
Key features of this update will include:- An exciting mission to unlock a unique new spacecraft and get hold of the biggest construction in the X universe to-date.
- Get hold of the exclusive (and unique) M7 class prototype battleship, once owned by the Pontifex Maximus Paranidia himself. This ship is lean and mean and can dock two fighter ships.
- The Player Headquarters can only be built once, but will be the most powerful outpost that the player can own. With its massive storage capacity it can hold huge quantities of upgrades, repair and produce ships, and host more ships at its docks than any other station, even shipyards.
- Bala Gi Research Inc. has developed a new M3+ class of ships. You will get the chance to distribute the blueprints for this new masterpiece of ship construction to the various shipyards.
  
There will also be a number of little extras like a new weapon type, sectors and various other additions and fixes. The update will also no longer require the game media to be present, so you can put your CD or DVD back in its box.
Note: This update will be available free to all owners of X³: Reunion, and will be compatible with existing savegames.

So after this the original Manual will be almost correct 
No seriously sounds really good, especially the Player HQ and "Free to all owners of X3".

Sounds very cool, ant wait. 
I do have a question though, it says sectors will be added, will installing this update require a new game start>? Or is Ego able to cheat with the sector adding.

"Key features of this update will include:

So, only ONE new mission ?
What about many different missions via various stations BBS ?
It is possible ? Could be really great !
Best Regards

Sounds great. I hate having to insert the CD into the drive to play.
Way to go guys. Maybe they are taking a cue from the makers of GalCiv II. They also do not require the CD once it is installed.
There is a DVD version of the game? Wish I knew that when I bought it. My only complaint about the game is having to switch between 6 CDs to do the install.
