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.

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
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.

The shape and glowy bit in center kinda also reminds me of the planet killer from st tos.

Terran architecture has a very clean, efficient style to it. It reminds me of mid-twentieth century science-fiction literature.
same, im glad that stations will finally look different now!

I get the feeling we're going to see a hell of a lot more of the Xenon this game!!!!

Maybe even a few words from the box itself... wouldn't that be nice!

That Terraformer CPU just looks huge. I would not doubt if it turns out to be the biggest non-planet object in space.
Those other pics look great also. Nice to get to know some of the talent behind X3TC.

Looking forward to this release more than all the big budget games that are coming over the next few months.

Kudos to all the mod and script makers out there for making me continue to return to X3 over and over again everytime I see a new mod released!

I hope X3:TC is no exception and continues to give the mod and script community lots more great ideas!

'My Missions' interface :rofl:

beep beep :'you have missions'

Good info in the voice-over, a bit lacking in interest in the video I thought,
still can't give to much away....

But damn good to have further insight :thumb_up:

I too am rather sick of games that need immediate patchwork to keep them in operational condition. You pay $45.0+ for a ame and the thing will not work scarecly a few seconds to a few hours before crash-time! unacceptible.. But at least egososft does a nice job of making a n exciting game and one that is very replayable - and now very extensible and modifable.

Nice job/and will buy the game soon...

THINK - I think I love the whole new mission interface direction. Excellent work ES X3R was screaming out for a better BBS system and more easily accessed missions. I have to admit the more I am hearing about TC the more impressed I am.

Now it is just a question of hoping the game is released without the need for major patches, and also that the publishers push this game to the fore as much as possible.

ES deserve a big success with X3TC for all the hard work they put in, and for encouraging and enlisting the talent that is so obviously out there among the community. :)

But where was the THINK? As elusive as the BUILD of the earlier trailer.
You are guided visually through the up to five missions you can take simultaneously.
"Guided visually"? Hello, I'll do the Think myself if I'm allowed, no matter how attractive the bridge bunnies would look holding my hand.

"Up to five simultaneously"? A new limit on how much I'm allowed to do. Sorry, X2 and X3:R had no such obvious limitations. I've done four missions simultaneously without any guiding, and I'm sure that -- Almighty RNG willing -- I could have even more simultaneous jobs.


Every new revelation increases the eerie feeling, just like before X3:R. So everything seems to be on the track. :roll:
