Все это классно,новая модификация игры,но как я куплю ее в России????Я не знаю как перечислять деньги в Германию

I am beggining to dislike this. The language of this forum IS english. My native language is portuguese and a lot of others members also dont have english as their native language but put some effort to comunicate in english here. Please write in english.

No one's forcing you to get it. :P

How about you hold him while I twist his arm?

[Nanook]

.. Please write in english.

Yes, that would be nice.

So some X3 version of the Albion Skunk will be available in this add on?

[Notchi]

Oh, don't get me wrong. I will get the game (probably) , it's just that a few months ago when they announced 2012 push-back of XRB, they could have mentioned why they did that... like they are remaking a remake.
Same music for the same sectors with same configuration and probably same tedious equipping of fighters ( if they fixed the last part I'll gladly pay the full price instead of 9.99 ).
Who knows when will XRB ship now...

Maybe. There is an interesting looking ship near the video ending (2:43).

Enough, Denurk. English, please.

Ojust that a few months ago when they announced 2012 push-back of XRB, they could have mentioned why they did that...

We didn't push back the date of X Rebirth to 2012 in order to create X3AP. It was the other way around; the idea to create X3AP came about when we realised X Rebirth was not going to be ready this year, and we didn't want to leave people waiting around that long without something new to play.

[Sesk]

Even if this is just a "remake" or an "addon" like some people say, I for one, am looking forward to it.

You guys announced that push back about 2-3 months ago? If that's when you start putting AP together I would assume the trailer come even after that. So if you were able to put together such smoothly animated Saya for the trailer ... I guess I have great hope of not seeing animated space-ship in XR

I think what he means is that Egosoft could have spent the time it took to develop this add-on to get X-rebirth finished earlier instead.

I myself am greatful for it as long as X-Rebirth isn't to far over the hill!

I saw that, I was actually looking for it, it does seem similar. Almost a Terran cruiser class.

I'm glad for the "delay" if it meant we got this add on. I think it was needed to bridge the huge gap between X3 and Rebirth.

... they used real actress which they probably told not to move ( except blinking ) in order to do CGI around her. I hope that they fixed equipping of fighters in AP. Anything else is just a bonus.

You can not really compare adding content to an existing game with creating a new one from scratch (new engine and all). It does not require quite the same amount of resources.

What all this about a remake of a remake


Any links to what you are referring

Google Translate Rocks!!!!

A few game/content questions:

- The X-News article mentioned a new war system that allows sectors to change hands. Will the player be allowed to participate in this system, and if so to what extent? I.E. Dynamic missions from the races to help advance conquest objectives? Player sector takeovers?

- Will economic output have any influence on NPC fleet strength? I.E. Will raiding supply lines and blowing up factories have any effect on a race's ability to produce ships? A major issue with 3rd party conquest mods for TC, IMO, has been that the jobs system and GOD tends to bounce back fairly quickly from any ship/station losses and respawn ships out of thin air, etc. This makes fleet combat and sector invasions start to feel pointless as the NPCs recover from their losses for 'free'.

- Will there be any improvements to the interface to facilitate these potentially larger conflicts? Any possibility of a fleet management interface similar to CODEA?

- The article mentioned some new high-end graphical settings. Can we get any more information on these yet? Any optimization or support for Eyefinity/NvSurround?

- Has the engine been changed/enhanced since TC to allow for more scalability and performance in larger battles? Vanilla TC would still get fairly badly cpu-bound in larger battles and start choking.
