Not that I'm complaining, but how come they're still adding new content? I thought this was it for X- and the engine?

Looking forward to some community written storyline content (to go along with all the excellent usability mods) in the future - hopefully easier to do with the mission director. If only I had a) the creativity and b) the time!

No - X3TC is it for the X-Series. Doesn't mean that they won't keep updating it

Be very surprised if it didn't go as far as a Bonus Pack.

Egosoft have always been very good about adding new, free content to their games up until the next one is announced. It's been this way since X-Tension. If they didn't do it, then we'd start to wonder.

Whatever gave you the idea it was conceived as an RPG?? It's a space trading/combat sim.

Hmmm., let me think.

1. Your points above are not mutually exclusive.
2. Page 5 of the instruction manual.
3. Page 92 - Trade, Fight, (but no build rank ...)

We are a bit off topic here, so to get back on, does anyone know if:-

1. Any MISSION rebalancing has been done?
2. Any SHIP rebalancing?
3. Aldren ECONOMY been fixed?
4. Any advantage to completing Hub mission - set gate to Aldren?

Btw I have spent over Euros150.00 on X-series, so I am very grateful for any added value and corrections. Thank you. (Again.)

RPG depends on player Character skills.

X games depend on Player skills.

See the difference?

Rankings ≠ Skills, btw.

1. Any MISSION rebalancing has been done?
2. Any SHIP rebalancing?
3. Aldren ECONOMY been fixed?
4. Any advantage to completing Hub mission - set gate to Aldren?

1. Probably.
2. Possibly.
3. Wasn't broken (except for production of eEMPC's, probably fixed).
4. Same as always, I'd guess, 'rewiring' the gate system.

any word about copy protection and whether it'll allow user made cockpit mods?

The CP won't be removed in 2.0. I'm assuming that's what you were asking.

I believe a fix for the cockpit mod issue has made it in.

Looks good, I hope they fix many of the glitches, and a Pirate and a Yaki reputation bar would be nice!

Sad news. I was hoping it would be like the 2.0 release of X3:Reunion w/ Bala Gi missions and no disk-based copy protection. It's been almost a year since TC released (April 2008, iirc?) and I still faithfully monitor these forums for news of such a DVD release for the US players. Just letting voice be heard, and I'm still being patient. *sniffle*

P.S. I added X2 to the "Wish List" of games to be added at gog.com. Last I saw X2: The Threat had 90+ votes so far.

X3TC's release was 4 months ago. Not a year

Ouch.

Well, I could say that I'm old and my memory isn't what it once was.

Or I could say that it *feels* like I've been waiting almost a year, and that I really do want to play the game like most other folks.

I think I pick Option B...

Why wont the copy protection be removed in 2.0? Seems a bit silly, considering Egosoft did so with X3:R 2.0

Post by **CBJ** » Thu, 26. Feb 09, 00:18

There is nothing magical about the number 2.0 that automatically means the removal of copy protection. They key factor is time. As explained in the copy protection sticky thread in the Tech Support forum, in the past around a year has passed before a NoCD/NoDVD patch has been released. And as has already been explained in this thread, in this case the fact that it is the first disk-based release in the US makes it doubly certain that the copy protection will not be removed at this stage.

Now, since every possible sensible question about the copy protection has been answered (most of them more than once), let's change the subject.

Edit: Typo.

This new version will be available on Egosoft online shop?

WOW , I also mixed 2 different forum , that post was for the X3 TC 2.0 beta forum. I'm sorry I guess I could use some sleep.

I meant that I cannot find the DevNet forum even if I'm lvl3.
