Check-out the game "Dark Horizon" then. This game will also be released in about 4 weeks time. About its official website it says "Coming Soon" and take a look at its user forum.

......perhaps there hiding the fact not much new content is added?
I don't mind the lack of press releases. I think it's just that X3 is a very deep game, and it just seems like little has been covered by the media when compared to the scope of its predecessor. Besides, it would take an unreasonable amount of media coverage in order to deliver an absolutely complete view of the game, and then there would be nothing left to surprise the player!
Admitting you have a problem is the first step in figuring out how to make it worse.

Half the X Community choose an Arcade Space Shooter over Terran Conflict just because it doesn't have cockpits? I seriously doubt that. :lol:

I think that "Dark Horizon" will be funny to play for about 10 hours or so, but I'm certain that I will have a lot of fun playing X3TC for several hundreds of hours.

Dark Horizon looks nice. Think i know i would get this over TC just for the freespace 2 feel and cockpits YES just for cockpits alone id buy it. :p

I mean come on you can see plenty and its a minimal cockpit but it makes you feel your actually in the driver seat. Come on egosoft make cockpits they can be like this they don't have to be as big as they used to be in previous x games just a simple thin framework is ok by us, and they don't take long to make lol just a few bars with nice textures lol, which makes all the difference. ;)

Actually i just viewed DH trailer and damn i want that game. Looks mint. I love decent cutscenes and theirs look mint. The hud is respectable (nicer than x3tc) and gfx arnt too bad.

Defo preordering that game tomorrow. Sry ES but there game looks good. Might buy x3tc when its cheap but DH i reckon will be nice to play first. Even if its just 5hrs ish to play i wouldnt mind, beats building stations all the time lol.

Hmm ok i probably sound anti x there but i love x games, well x btf the most then x2, x3 sucks tho. Just x3tc will have to wait as DH is first i reckon.

And above all ITS GOT COCKPITS. :D

Not the lame cockpit discussion again. In my imagination the computer room is my cockpit.
What I would like to see in TC is decent flight trajectories at least for large ships IS. No more stop, turn and move manouvers please.

I am really looking forward to TC. I pray Egosoft will continue to make space operas and that all involved get filthy rich.
Stop the War on Drugs. It is killing more people than the drugs. Not a single death in history worldwide can be directly related to cannabis, yet in some countries you will be murdered by the state for simple possession. The UN admitted the failure of its repressive measures. Stop the madness, legalize drugs!

I honestly don't see the difference between the minimal framework you can see there and, say, the bits of the ship you can see when you're sat in a Xenon LX. They provide pretty much the same impression of being in a ship.

Not played x3 enough to see what a xenon LX was like to fly, i gave up cos lack of missions and no immersion in the buster i had. Also the horrible long (view blocking) transporters view was worse than what a cockpit would have blocked view wise so i hated them too in x3.

Maybe you can provide a pic of what one looks like?

There have been a couple updates to the developer blog in the last couple of days for those that haven't checked it since it was first announced here. You should probably expect more in the future as well. :)

Military outposts sound awesome! The question for me then is, can I use the same script to make my own security outpost?

Every new bit of information makes me want this game even more...
