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

[x2newbie1]

If you had dreams of Avarice but didn't have the cash, then there may be another chance for you with the 2.0 update.

Ok, what's an Avarice? Is this something we had in the normal 1.4 game? I don't recall ever seeing this, though it's been over a half year since I last played X3 so I may have simply forgotten.

Are we going to have the same questions on every page of this thread?

The answer is right on the main page, all you had to do was look or search...

[Wurtzel]

Lol, CBJ you must have been typing at the same time I was.... How's the Alice??

[Jakesnake5]

The reason there are no new Boron ships is because their not interested in stomping the living crap out of everybody. They let the Argons do it for them.

Thus, they didn't make a new ship for themselves.

I found it. Looks like it's a claimable sector.

In case anyone is interested in more info on this, there's a thread here :

Thanks. Nice spoiler for anyone who didn't want to know.

Was that directed to me or Jake?? The info I posted is down near the bottom of your initial post, so it's not spoiler info. I can always add spoilers if you like, but it wouldn't do much good unless you put spoilers on your own post.

You wrote this in your initial post :
"The auction for the sector Avarice has been re-balanced and will restart for those who missed their chance to claim that sector"


Lemme know if you want me to put spoilers on.

[CBJ]

It was directed at you, following on from the replies to the last couple of times this exact same question was asked. There is little point in adding spoilers now.

Ok. But in case you're not aware, there's no spoilers around your original post either (I quoted it above). That's why it never occured to me to put spoilers on mine.

[CBJ]

So I see. That is additional text that was added by someone else after I posted the original announcement. I guess you are in the clear then.

That is a bit spooky. Usually messages get a *modified* tag when somebody edits them. The OP does not. Somehow, a name "BurnIt!" comes to mind. How odd, the same name I've seen in the game too. Somewhere in the middle.

[CBJ]

You only get a "modified" tag if you edit the post yourself. If a moderator or admin edits it for you then there is no tag. I know who edited it, I just didn't notice that they had included that line.

Blah, blah, blah... Anyway... can't wait for the update!! YAY!!

Go EgoSoft!!

"Input menus have no more restrictions regarding their supported character set. This means special characters like ü, ä, ö or also Cyrillic letters can now be used for names"

Will you also get special characters like á, é, ű, ő, ú, ó?

[Garner1]

The preliminary notes put up are missing the biggest part of the update... Pimp my ship!



Everyone knows red ones go faster...

[edit]
Feel someone needs to have a look at the spelling of 'you' in the 'Thank your for registering your game' title text of the nice little blue tick to the left...

Wonder how long its been like that and no-one said anything...

[edit #2]
says it in your profile as well.. for both X2 and X3 registrations... so I'd say a while

[CBJ]

Yes, frighteningly it looks like that typo has been there for several years. Thanks for spotting it.

If only every game company could be as awesometacular as Egosoft.

Bethesda makes me a saaaaad panda.

Agreed, I will never buy one of their games again. Egosoft on the other hand have a customer for life.

Amazing to see how many people are online here, wonder what they are all waiting/hoping for
