I still hope we get an oppourtunity for a Q&A session before release, the Dev blog is a nice addition and I'm sure all X fans appreciate the time and effort taken to add your various bits.

Looking forward to the next ones...

Nice, [edit this was wrong =] although i wouldn't use that autocad program i'd use 3d max or lightwave (lightwave i use) as its far better for optimization work.

Did some nice stuff with autocad tho. :) [end edit]


Oh and nice teaser pic of the new solar plants i think they are. Tho not sure if i like the new or older ones tbh yet as in design wise.

One last thing. Isn't that long cylinder station or cap ship basically the replicator ship off Stargate series?

I think you need to look more carefully. That is 3DS Max.

Lol so it is, duno why i thought it was somit else, not being well might have somit to do with it and the fact the last time i tried max was 2.5 version :p

Lightwave fan myself hence why i didn't recognise max there.

So for Terran Conflict we'll be fighting a giant, cybernetic, toilet paper roll? :D

In all seriousness, it's great to see the devs finally get to giving us some insight to the game before its release.

I was wondering about the sudden spike in cinematic quality for X3:TC, and I'm glad to meet the man behind it.

The best of luck to you, Egosoft. :thumb_up:

It looks sweet like you could fly through the belly of the beast (red glow) even if it looks like bio-plasmic organism/toilet paper roll/Kilrathy battle ship/borg pod thingy :D

course you might come out looking like a toaster

I'm really looking forward to the new Terran stations. They really deliver a far more significant sense of scale than those of the original X3: Reunion space stations.

Terran architecture has a very clean, efficient style to it. It reminds me of mid-twentieth century science-fiction literature.

Hmm i knew the cpu ships where round but somebody is obviously a stargate fan since that cpu ship looks pretty much like the back end of replicator ship.
Not that i am complain i loved those ships.

And that new solar power plant is massive it will be fun to dogfight arround.

Man, that is totally the alien spaceship from Star Trek 4. The one that went to Earth to talk to whales.

Nah, the one from Star Trek was smooth. It definitely resembles a replicator ship the most.

same, im glad that stations will finally look different now!
So i was waiting in Herrons Nebula with SETA, waiting to sell the last load of space fuel, when a khaak fleet jumped in and destroyed everything.

Worst first 5 minutes of a game... EVER!
