No hope for this generation. How bout they patch up the game and deliver what they're advertising in the first place instead of forcing you to pay extra for a functional product.Strum1 wrote:I'm hoping there will be DLC for this in the future.
The gates turned off thanks to the Supernova and are just now turning back on. But they are connecting all willy nilly. Bets are they will get there Adding new systems and expansions.DrwHem wrote:omg theres only 4 sectors! what happened to paranid space? split space! the boron! teladi space! we have just the argon second capital and what used to be a pirate sector! omgnow i kind of want to quit too.
) sectors in X3 that were all fairly similar and laid out in a kinda bland way in the universe map. Please note that I am not knocking X3 in any way, sunk hundreds of hours into TC but I would generally find myself sitting in some little corner of the universe and it's maybe 20 surrounding sectors cos that's all I needed and tended to forget to much of what was going on elsewhere. Also, don't despair, I'm sure expanding the universe is a fairly simple matter, aside from actually designing and building them!
I just got the greatest idea for a new mod-the ability to leave Yisha behind on a station or platform. I would like to throw her out of the airlock personally, but stranding her somewhere, like a construction platform floating in space, sounds better. And then destroying the construction platform.khemeher wrote:Well that's sort of the other problem, isn't it? Even if the game had no bugs & ran perfectly as intended, it would be a one-trick pony.
No matter how many times you restart, you're a 3rd rate scavenge pilot with a crazy stow-away copilot in the biggest hunk of junk in the galaxy. Unless they make HUGE changes to the game, we will never have multiple start scenarios with even more to be unlocked as we complete content. We'll never be able to run different types of ships to get a different feel to the game.
Sorry Egosoft...this isn't progress. This is exactly what you had 20 years ago with slightly improved graphics.
Wow, I hadn't seen that before and despite all my optimism about the game you make me feel like switching sides, that looks tiny compared to the previous games. There are only 4 sectors in each of those and Maelstrom only 3. If it wasn't for the fact its locked off until you complete missions etc you'd be able to cover that in no time at all.Strum1 wrote:Also since you stopped playing the campaign, that means there are some sectors still closed to you.
if you don't mind a spoiler, here is a map.. feel free to drill down on each one.

True, the X universe has never felt as real and immersive. Lets hope they can expand upon the galaxy size in addition to the gameplay elements.myztkl-kev wrote:while id like to agree with this post, i cant. X3 was the only other game i played and basically all of the sectors were flat planes all basically laid out the same with a n,e,s,w gate to go to a different sector. Now you actually feel like you are in a star system, you have to travel long distances to get to other stations. I feel the world is much bigger and they will surely add new areas as the game expands. Once the green highway removal mod is totally fleshed out ill be grabbing it. and the mod community will most likely add things to the empty space.
Wow. Just...wow. The fanboys really are clutching at straws now, aren't they?SyberSmoke wrote:You realize that the vast majority of space is...empty? I understand that you are used to X3 where you got a sector and there are a bunch of things there and you got the next...it spoon feeds you the idea that these little areas are all over.
But really...this game shows that they are not, most of the things are tightly clustered around key areas and the rest is space. And really, in my experience this have been most space games, there are areas that have stuff and the rest is the big black vacuum.
The nice thing is...there is allot of room for modders and the developers to add to the space we have and to add new systems with new things. Who knows may be some intrepid modder will look at all those wrecks and abandoned stations and do something with them. Or add new stations and quests.
It is the biggest X game to date, but that also means that it is the emptiest one. How that gets filled...or used is up for grabs.

Maybe I should make THE BIGGEST SPACE SIM GAME EVER? I'll just add one station, one ship and an infinite, empty space around it. I bet you'd love it and happily pay $50 for it, right?
