Now all that really is food for thought :D

Great to have the news release, looking forward to seeing
what (might) be in the X3 & X2 patches - that certainly was a surprise !

Got that adrenalin feeling, calm down now,
please don't rush the release(s), but it's good to know we'll all be informed :)

well i think i may be more interested in the x2 patch than the x3 one, but i hope that the patch doesnt mess up all of the modders out there
About the name - i was lost for a name on the forum and looking round, then a Bob Hope film came on, and i thought "that will do nicely"

i was born and raised argumentative i dont mean to offend ...... sorry

Yeah, I thought "X News email. Hm, something new? Oh, just an XTM feature and some other not very interesting stuff" and then that last paragraph! Bam! A classic sucker punch.:o

Looking forward to lots and lots of "Isitoutyetisitoutyet?" posts. But not from me, I hasten to add.

Great stuff, keep up the good work. :)

I sincerely hope that the X2 patch doesn't turn it into a combat orientated game like X3 has been. I loved X2 and play it regularly.

I wouldn't say that X3 is a more combat-oriented game than X2. I think the combat is just better. The economic side is arguably better too, IMHO.

I have to admit that the new patch for X3 gives me no enthusiasm at all.

BalaGi didnt keep me occupied for long and then I went back to modding and bashing my head against the script editor.

The only way that I will get enthused about a new patch is if the devs come out and say they are actually going to fix the auto-pilot once and for all, and that the patch will bring significant fleet handling advances.

Until its safe to have many ships insector without losing any of them to collisions, and having a fleet easily organised so it can fight in propper units with easy orders, I dont see the point in advancing the story or introducing more features. I dont see the point in large fleets, when controlling them is haphazard at best, and half of them die colliding with the target and the other half fail to fire a shot.

If the auto-pilot needs a rewrite from scratch to get it fixed (which is what was said), then I would rather the devs spent their time on that, than in introducing something else.
