A big cheer for Egosoft & the folks who helped expanding this game! I have enjoyed the new storyline alot & was happy to see old stuff wasn't forgotten.
Honestly I have no complains towards egosoft as they still care about gamers (and not our wallets).
They created a formidable sandbox game with alot of interesting stuff & goals. You can be a trade mogul, a mercenary fleet commander, a xenofobic Terran or an illegal stuff merchant, something for everyone! Big applaud for that, not easy to make such games. And lets not forget the graphics, while we all say gameplay > graphics, it is great if you got fun gameplay combined with stunning graphics.
Sometimes I tune up the graphics to full, and visit a few places, just to marvel at the beauty of it.

Have to totally disagree I found the plot patronising, daft and annoying to the point where I just couldn't be bothered the suduko was the final torpedo that sunk my interest.milytar wrote:So there my thanx for the new plot and must to tell that this was most interesting mission ever(sorry EGO and thanks to Ketraar and others who involved this - and thats mean ego to)!!!

A big thanks however, for the patch and bonus pack.

Maybe the introduction of STEAM achievements is an indication of the possibility of introducing "paid for" expansion packs for X3:TC delivered (exclusivly?) by STEAM perhaps.Zloth wrote:Applause hell... they deserve $'s! Probably in the form of pre-ordering their next game. Of course, there is one more... formality that needs to be overcome: Egosoft needs to tell us what that game is. I hope this triviallity will be dispatched at Egosoft's earliest convenience. Like maybe right now.Egosoft deserves one great round of applause for their work on the X3 series.

Errmm... not really since the DVD users (of which I am one) can register their key on STEAM now (which I will not do until there is a good reason to... STEAM achievements are not a good reason IMO).amtct wrote:Nope.That will KO the DVD retail users .Roger L.S.

Have you read the CLS (MK 1 and MK2) Warning: from readme on new bonus patch? =Frostnads wrote:Rhadamant wroteenenra wroteDoes the bonus pack (CLS, Dock Ware, etc) flag you for modified, or are you still technically 'vanilla'?I uninstalled my previous X3TC install and manually deleted all folders, then installed 2.5, upgraded to 2.6, installed the bonus pack solely-no other scripts/mods, and started a new game as Terra Defender. My Pilot Status says *modified* at the bottom. hmmmThe whole point about the Bonuspack is that it doesn't cause a modified.
Automatic naming
Warning: The Automatic Naming option in this version of the script turns on the ***Modified*** flag. So don't use this function for now. We are hunting down the volunteer testers, who did not voluntee for this detail.
more info here: http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=275925
good idea to have backed up our saved games first before installing it...

Does anyone know how the 2.6 patch improves rendering performance?
Just wondering, for those of us using mods like this lot...
http://www.[blocked due to google malware warning]/x3tc/
to enhance performance on lesser machines, is there anything not required/conflicting now.
For instance does the better rendering affect shaders?, and so would using sswamp troopers mod now be needed or actually be detrimental.
More detail required if anyone knows please.

many thanks Egosoft! You are the best. It is a rare thing in the 21st that a company makes me a happy and faithful costumer. I own a 20 year old electric jigsaw from Bosch, which is a fine tool, which makes me buy more Bosch tools.
Peace and prosper.
Performance is great now. My Geforce 8800 GTS 512mb was a little too weak.
Aladna Hill was a no go area, even with lowest settings. Now I may add one or two factories to my Armorycomplex. Good work, I am impressed how much traffic my machine can handle and still manages enough fps.
I am looking forward to Egosofts TNBT! Gods of Kobol!
Cheers from Vienna

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!

You gave everyone 8 hours on a Sunday to answer your question.
Try waiting until after Monday or Tuesday when everyone in the Egosoft office has had chance to look at your question.
This might suprise you, but people who work Mon - Fri tend to like having the weekend off
