X3: Terran Conflict Update 2.7 is here!

[Toastie]

Yes, you read it correctly! No sooner had we released 2.6 than another host of features and fixes became ready to add to the game. With the release of Update 2.7, players will see a large number of fixes and enhancements to the game, many of which have been kindly provided by players and modders themselves (special thanks go to draffutt for the large number of fixes he provided, with Saetan and Killjaeden also making notable contributions). With Update 2.7, we also bring you an update to the recently-released Bonus Pack, the main feature of which is the addition of Polish localisation for the plug-ins.

For full details of the features and fixes in Update 2.7, please consult the changelog in the update.

[Technojerk36]

Egosoft, you just made my birthday even more awesome!

Argon One no longer invincible?

If it gets blown up, will it respawn as Argon One or just as a regular Argon M1?

Ohhh and the XFF got mentioned in the X-Universe News

[Ketraar]

Argon One has its own Jobs, so yes its going to spawn as what it is, the Argon Flag Ship and also always in Argon Prime. It has a respawn rate of 3600, so it may take a while.

MFG

[EmperorJon]

Ohhh and the XFF got mentioned in the X-Universe News

Happy birthday to you...

[amtct]

[Yapa]

Would just like to say the egosoft developers are one of the best developers in the game scene, thank you for constantly updating X3-TC.

I've never played the game, but bought it on day 1 on Steam

Soon it will be time to play.

Before i smack the run Button for this 2.6 to 2.7 patch........
is 2.6 saved games compatible with 2.7

[X-Warrior B AS]

Oooh, surprise

Nice one guys

[imperium3]

I've not seen an M8 in a mission since the early days when my empire was founded on a Hades and a couple of Gladiators. Nostalgia, this way please!

It's quite amazing how it's so long since release, and every patch just gets better and better. Thank you Egosoft!

Edit: This gets better! I just read the X-Universe News, and apparently there's to be a 3.0 as well.

Now why did this have to turn up one week before my exams...

[Xenon_Slayer]

Before i smack the run Button for this 2.6 to 2.7 patch........

Yes. All our patches are.

[Gavrushka]

I am suprised, didn't a new test version just come out LAST NIGHT!!

That's an amazing turnaround and I think a lot of people are going to be impressed with this patch.
