NEWS UPDATE: X³ 2.0: Bala Gi Research Missions [updated Nov 7th]

I'd say narrowing Q4 down to the last two months of the year should be accurate.

That vague enough for ya?

Seriously though, it's approaching certainty that November will be the release month.

LOL, I bought the retail version last year and months ago the Steam version just because it doesn't have Starforce

At least my "wasted" money went to Egosoft and no to EA or Ubi...

Concerning the update, it's good to hear about the new content, but it will be nice to hear about some of the bug fixes.

I still don't start to play the game yet. After my 5 first minutes of playing I saw 1 bug (the video bug with the changing characters) Though this bug isn't very important, that wasn't a good 1st impresion with the game. So I decide to wait to the 2.0 update, hoping this video bug (and also other bugs I've read about) will be patched.

Anyway, thanks Egosoft for this free new content

This is good news! Egosoft worked hard to bring it out so soon. Since Enlight releases it "early november" I guess the download will be available before mid november.

I hope it will be compatible with the mods and scripts I use!!

I been a fan of X2 for quite some time, but X3 only recently (Even though I got it on release) I didnt get into it at first (Was the vanilla game) because it seemed lacking compared to what I expected. After reading about the bonus patch features a while back I started to play X3 in preperation (I downloaded the patch and bonus pack) and I must say it is fantastic, though the ship customization in the coming patch is a must that I wish was in the origional realese.

My brother also got this game (On release also) but has never played it due to the fact starforce does not recognise the disc in his drive so never got to experiance it. (Just so you know, I live in Austria hes in Ireland, so I couldent let him try it on my PC.) I am glad he will get a chance to at last with this new patch, even if it is a bit late.

Oh, I have two quick questions on customization, are their any new colour schemes? Also X2 you could tag your ship, why was it removed for X3? I know the second question is not on the new patch, but it would be silly to make a new topic for such a small thing.

I cant wait for release of 2.0 thank you for all your hard work Egosoft.

Any idea about the size of the update itself? 100-200 megs?

Bigger the better for patches as far as im concerned 500+ is considered a "normal" patch these days with broadband.

I think that's a bit over the top.

The previous patches were in the order of 25Mb, and the betas have been a similar size.

sector next to motalaar, called "unknown"

at some point it gets renamed and can be bought by the player, through an auction... and insane amount of credits

Second that.

As for ships. If they can be towed above their nominal speed, then beam Phoenix.

Avarice, Avarice, Avarice. What is fun, the end or the journey? Sure, it'll be nice to have, but to me having it is not so important as getting it. Getting from scratch. With a billion already in pocket, there is no challenge. (Not that I have a billion. I just spent it on closed loop, which ain't even running yet.)

*Bows to Egosoft* Thankyou very much, for the ship colours in particular. The screenshots on the loading screens of orange Busters ticked me off to no end :) I posted something about it on the forums a few months ago, but n-one seemed to have an answer. I really appreciate this, thanks again.

Thanks Egosoft,
I think that they have made the right choice to wait till all the lanuages are done, It wouldn't be fair otherise for us to get it before the german fans or our other X friends across the globe.

Do you assume that the default language is not German?
