I'd suggest waiting with that until at least a week has passed after release so no one is tempted to use the map and thus loose the whole discovery aspect. You know how some people can't resist it. ^^

The different starts, are they all going to be available at the beginning or they are going to be unlocked like in the vanilla? Also are there going to be Yaki and Pirates starts?

And another thing, how can the reputation with the Xenon be improved? Also when it is high enough so they don`t want to blow my ass on sight would it be possible to buy Xenon ships from their bases?

I assume you're going to create varying amounts of property for the player to start with for each start. Is it going to be as extreme as the original XTM where you have "less than a single ship" to "one of everything, with a little umbrella in it?"

There's always scorp's map no..? That should work right

Scorp's map reads from the universe files directly so it'll work fine with this...

Good, as long Aldrians posses terraformers, they are a threat to all other races, and to the mankind. Only if they allow to destroy terraformers machines they will be free again.

Pffft, what is this assumption that AI = bad. The #deca core ship is clearly anything but, as she carried out her mission faithfully until a certain person decided to meddle with it, and that was corrected. AI is not anathema to biological life, and this pervalent idea of it as the slavering mechanical hordes waiting to devour the biologics is sheer technophobia.

Yet what is the terraformer hierarchy but a unfailingly obedient dictatorship? As long as they exist, so does the potential for a command to be passed for the commission of unspeakable horrors. Unlike biological systems, where a single key refusal to follow orders can disarm an entire nefarious plan, if a terraformer is told to destroy the universe, it WILL.

Is this the first 100-page thread for an unreleased mod? You boys sure know how to draw a crowd!

just read the manual:

thanks to the team for putting together the effort for the best of endings to the x-series

congrats and kudos

ps - did not find the function to donate on moddb - request it be added - would like to gift a few celebratory rounds.

AS said they won't be taking donations personally, i think.

However you can donate to TXU since the site hosts the mod and its actual forums.

To be honest 90% of those pages read along the lines of "are we nearly there yet?". It seems that we are... no release yet though which makes me think...

Christmas day release?

Source code wasn't touched, that would break the EULA.

If that's the case I'm intrigued how you managed to do it

EmperorJon · Post by **EmperorJon** » Sun, 12. Dec 10, 11:08

Yeah, I was thinking XMas day, or possibly New Year if they're not done by then!

stemardue · Post by **stemardue** » Sun, 12. Dec 10, 18:04

think... in X-verse there is neither Christmas nor New Year's eve... so any other date may work as well ^^

Yacek · Post by **Yacek** » Sun, 12. Dec 10, 18:27

XTC will be published between Christmas and New Year. Why?

http://www.thexuniverse.com/threads/204 ... post190115

Aragon Speed thereby spoil us two days:

Christmas - I will not even XTC
New Year - because I would XTC
