There's an image posted not so long ago with an install screen listing english as a language one can install. Doubt that's the problem (who knows, could be full of all you base are belong to us).
Really wonder how much steam will be selling it for. Guess we will know on the 3rd.
Edit: Thought I added this... it would be really interesting to capture a khaak capital ship. Would be the first time we could actually do it (vanilla). Those things are so much more deadly with a human using the weapons. A KM6 would be really cool if they add one. Guess this being the third game with the little friends it would be good to get away from the combat ranks required to capture them.
Sounds like it will be cheaper to capture compared to outright buying a ship, will just take quite some time to obtain the might able to overcome the target. Would make obtaining Yaki ships simpler too. Mmm, my HQ will have a ton of blueprints

I hope that large (M1 M1) to very large (M0) capital ships play a more significant role in TC. Boarding a large ship with actual spacesiuted marines sounds intriguing. I like the M0's in XTM as far as design, I love to fly by them in a large scale battle (that is when I own them) and when one is engaged in battle as well. The sheer awesome size of them is a sight to behold however, in X3 the present state for such battles is limited due to issues; ie collision detection, restricted movement (which could be part of a strategic plan). Lets hope in TC having wings and a more robust group management system will useful in a tactical/strategic capacity. Waiting with great anticipation for X3TC!
OK, so I have a question for you:Jashashunter wrote:Common misconception about STEAM and its not true at all. I play X3 on Steam and most of the time do it offline. You only need to be online when you download it. Once its on your computer you dont have to be online. Steam has a mode called OFFLINE MODE. If you close Steam or restart your computer you have to login again but once it has your login info you can play offline all ya want.Incubi wrote:If your ok with having to play an offline game, online, which for me means leaving your antivirus /spyware running while you play.Sandalpocalypse wrote:Don't Panic! It's still on the steam site!
Let say at home I download X3:TC to my laptop, login then play the game. Without login out, I put the laptop to Hibernate, then go to school, where port 27K have been blocked. Can I still play X3:TC? (Note that at school I will then have a different IP address than home, or I can choose to not connect to the NW).
At school, all HTTP, HTTPS ports are open, except the game ports in the 27K range are blocked, and there is no way to convince the IT guys to open them.
TIA.

when you downlaod off of steam, you download the WHOLE game and unzip it and install it to your computer. basically you can download it, then lose internet connection for life, and itll always be there like a built in x3 CDVincentTH wrote:OK, so I have a question for you:

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.

Yes, when you get to school and exit Hibernation mode, steam will notice it can't connect to it's server. It will then enter 'offline mode' where all the games that you played/installed whilst online, will still be available to you, but you will not be able to install a new game that requires steam until you have an internet connection.
NOTE: This only applies if you have the option for "remember my details when I'm offline" (or something similar) selected.
Never had a problem with this system myself, so doubt you will either. You may do well to read the FAQs on the steam website if you are still unsure.
Hope we get the Fight trailer soon.

One question about the blog.
Maybe a youg beautiful woman should kiss him awake because it would be nice to see his entry about the missions.
Have you forgotten Owen or is he still sleeping ?Blog, September 3rd wrote:Originally we asked Owen Lake, the guy behind the Terran plotline and one of the mission programmers, to write a little article for the blog today.
Unfortunately he had to catch up on his sleep after some really stressful days, trying to kill plot bugs. So while he gets his well deserved rest, let me introduce Ivan Tefalco:

The one thing that puts me off Steam games is the price. I can get them far cheaper from other online retailers than Steam. So much for Steam cutting out the middle mean leading to cheaper games.
Steam are selling CoD4 for $69.99.
Play.com are selling it for £15 with free delivery. Amazon for £14.
The last game I purchased through Steam was quite expensive after the exchange rate and tax calculations had been made. I'll check when I get home and see how much it works out but suffice to say, if I can get it from anywhere else I don't buy it through Steam.

This signature is here because it makes my posts look longer and therefore makes me seem like I know what I am talking about - which I do, honest! For example, the Ray is the best M2 and a Falcon always beats the other M3s, see!
Hey, now that TC is out the Ray does seem to be one of the best M2's. Maybe I had better change my sig...

At the same time, Koch Media/DeepSilver are fighting with Enlight on the North American publishing rights - there was a contract in place, but now that Koch has US operations for DeepSilver, they want to keep the sales in house. Steam is/has been a separate distribution method, so they might be able to release to the NA customers.
So, my prediction, Europe will get X3:TC on October 10th, UK will get it on the 17th, and the US will see something by the end of the month.
I love mis-information, look what CBJ said:

TC is complete in English, stop mongreling, thanks.
Si las normas te vas a saltar, con el General te vas a encontrar
Where did you find that quote by CBJ? Can't seem to find the phrase when I Google it. And you misquoted me, I did say that it was *my* take on what the available information means. Also, just because the game doesn't need to be translated, they are still different versions, and, different release dates has happened before. Here's to hoping it doesn't.Sblade wrote: I love mis-information, look what CBJ said:
