X3AP 3.0 Teaser screenshots

[X2-Illuminatus]

The second quarter of 2013 just started and some of you have noticed that something is missing. In the last X-Universe News we announced the X3AP Update 3.0, which was expected to be released in Q1 2013 back then. Unfortunately, we were not able to keep this date. Nevertheless, we don't want to miss the chance to give you a little teaser in the form of the three following wallpapers. We actually incorporated these wallpapers as Screenshots already in this year's April Fools Joke. In case some of you missed them, or thought them purely part of the joke, here they are again with some added splendour:

While you try to find out what these wallpapers show, the AP Community devs and the DevNet team are diligently working on the X3AP 3.0 Update to bring it to you soon.

Very nice! Judging from the third screenshot I am assuming a new sector or two is definitely in order?

Looks like a very pretty sector. I've been holding off placing my PHQ until version 3.0 comes out. xD On principle I only place my PHQ in the player-owned sector, and since AP hasn't had one yet, my PHQ's just been sitting in the Albatross.

On the one hand I really wanted to help out (I know I provided some input at the beginning and some early testing too), so sorry for not putting anything else in.

On the other hand, that means the plot won't be spoiled. (Too much.)

I don't know, I've been off the game and community a LONG time now. But the first thought about the first screenshot there I was had:

Hooray that thing looks a bit like that oldschool X2 Raptor...

YAY! Looks like they finally added the Split M0, that was mentioned in Megalodon´s description! Iam going to buy that as addition to my Megaloo and future planned Xenon I.

EDIT: somebody might want this topic to be pinned on top of forum...

What is that third image

[xrogaan]

I like what I am seeing.

I should get rid of all my mods and star a vanilla game once 3.0 is out...

Looking at these awesome screenshots i get the strange feeling that 3.0 won't run smoothly on my crappy machine. Will the system requirements be the same as for AP?

So, this isnt a mod for AP, but just another add on then? I only played AP a few times, but making money there was too easy...so I quit. I modded TC so many times, theres nothing new to do..lol.

Pic 1 is good.
I have not looked at it at that angle with that lighting.
Took me a few seconds to realise what it was.

Pic 2.

That one is puzzling me.
Probably again from a different angle than I am used to.

Pic 3

Not allowed to say too much on this.
But yes it's a very atmospheric sector.

This version will make AP really worth while playing instead of TC ( )
,whether you are a trader,like me,or one who likes a fight or two.
The whole upgrade involves all aspects of game play..including "THINK"

3 Looks like Black Hole and those are Xenon destroyed ships(K's or J's).... But the problem with that image is Black Hole.... You can see stars behid it ???? (not even light can escape its gravity of Black Hole)

Edit: And that planet behind X3 is stretching like egg
Screw XR i want this update
How big is it???(file)
