The VP guys are working on it. I'm pretty sure you'll be getting your patch too. :)

Have X3 Gold Edition boxed.

Guessing this will need a buy from Steam for AP?

Yup. I did. But, the good neews is that you don't need steam to play TC.. :D

Edit: Question. Does the New Home plot sector add to the sector count of sectors visited? If it is supposed too. It is not for mine... :(

Are you guys planning to alter the models of the Springblossom and Hyperion so their wings arent dock death traps?

I know you can idle out of stations, but sometimes it doesnt work for the Springy when another Spring is parked right next to you (their wings are clipped together).

Also you cant idle out of a Kyoto docked M6. Its a bit of a hassle to go to landed ships or property menu, idle the M6, then click on the M6 and press x when he's safely out of the port.

Register your copy of X3TC from the X3 Gold box with Steam, then you'll only need to pay the add-on price for X3AP alone. You won't have to re-buy anything you already have.

I just built a new octocore computer with 16gbs of ram.

Will this take advantage of my processor and use it?

I hope it's worth buying on steam, I don't want a huge download for a game that's in the end, marginally different.

it isn't a huge download - not if you search the forum for the detailed instructions, but basically copy your existing TC folder to the steam folder and then download AP, it'll only dl the differences which are relatively small.

Only 1core? ...Call me oldfashioned but I would've expected any game made in the last couple years to at least run off 2...

I hope the MARS script (automatic weapon swapping) from TC, has been reworked and created for this. For combat in anything bigger than a large fighter that script was absolutely mandatory..

The game is only available on Steam at the moment, yes.

If you have bought the X-Superbox, whether on Steam or not, then you can get X3AP free of charge. If your X-Superbox was bought on Steam then X3AP will have been added to your library automatically. If you bought a boxed X-Superbox then you need to register it on Steam, then all the games in the package, including X3AP, will be available to you on Steam.
Sorry i forgot to add that the Steam X-Supebox already included AP, all because since I knew it, it sounded logical, but not so from the pother point of view.
CBJ wrote:If you bought X3TC alone then you can get X3AP at the upgrade price on Steam. The same rules apply as above, i.e. if you bought your X3TC on Steam then you can buy it at that price straight away, and if you bought your X3TC as a boxed edition then you need to register it on Steam first.

You only need to buy a package including multiple games if you've not already bought X3TC at all. In this case you can buy X3 Gold, X3 Terran War Pack or the X-Superbox.
And also forgot to mention that AP recquires X3 TC to play wihtout having to rebuy TC, thus the different game packs I cited.

To add to what Cycrow already explained, this is one of the main reasons (if not the main) why they made (and named) Rebirth the way it will be. No skyscrapper buiding on a decade old foundation, everything brand new.

Out of curiosity, how long have they been working on Rebirth? I can't remember if they have mentioned that. Like when did they start building the new engine?
If you want a different perspective, stand on your head.

A few years, but what I said is not far from what Bernd said about the successive X games being built on top of each precedent one, the basement being X BTF. It should still be around somewhere in the Rebirth Forum or maybe some news

I finally broke down and tried to register my hard copy of TC with Steam so I can try out AP (after taking it into town to download it), only to discover that my CD key won't work with Steam because I bought X3 Gold instead of plain TC.

With that having been said, do we have a release date yet for hard copy AP, and will it work with non-Steam TC?

Huh. It worked this time, but now I've got a different problem: it wants to download TC onto my computer. Any way to tell Steam to shove it?

EDIT: To clarify, any way to point Steam to my existing installation?

you need to copy your existing game into the correct place so steam sees it, then it'll just check instead of downloading anything
