X3: Albion Prelude 1.1 has landed, and it's brought X3: Terran Conflict 3.2 with it!

If you clean out the TYPES and MOD folders and every CAT/DAT file with a number higher than 02, then Steam can patch the game without an installed mod blocking it.

so i wont need to run the uninstall scripts for my mods?

Only if you want to keep your savegames. Then it is a good idea to clean out the things that the script/mod did to your game. That's the point of having an uninstall script. =)

How exactly was the Panther changed?

Laser gen was lowered slightly (by about 100), it is still one of the highest in its class. It also now has only 20 docking ports. I never used more than 10 on mine, so this is not the issue. With combat lag fixed it actually does more damage per second now, i swear At least those terran stations go boom much quicker.

At least with fewer ports it means you don't have to resupply so many fighters, the Panther never really had the cargo space to carry missiles/ammo for that many and still be combat-effective itself

[Legionos]

everything all sorted

thank you

- Increased laser recharge rate for M6s.

Why? Why would you do such a thing??? The problem was with the weapons, not the ship! A great ship with lousy weapons is a lousy ship. A lousy ship with great weapons is a great ship. It's really that simple.

Corvettes suffered because their weapons have HALF the efficiency of other weapons. The solution is NOT to double the weapon generator on M6 ships. The solution is to double the efficiency of the weapons!

It's right. there. in. the. signature. I just gotta fix the OOS values to accomodate the patch.

-Fixed handling of war objects that are boarded

How exactly?

Because yesterday I capped a Kyoto. She is still with me.
Today I capped an Agir. He went awol as soon as he left the war sector...

Then we'll just have to agree to disagree.
The M6 weapons have far greater ranges and in some cases, increased bullet speed, greatly increased damage, and special effects.

An M6 using "mere fighter lasers" should have no trouble whatsoever firing like there's no tomorrow.

By keeping the M6 weapons costly, M7 don't get infinite fighter defense because the good stuff costs more energy than their generators can provide.
Thinking is in order.

I find that very useful.

Well after further research at least in my game the claiming of abandoned ships is still somewhat broken. If the ship is a Khaak abandoned ship I can claim it. However there was a chance of finding a non Khaak abaondoned ship and in my game I have two (so far that I found) that I cannot claim nor do they show up on the sector map nor can they be targeted.

This is confirmed. Playing vanilla AP 1.1. Have a Scorpion Prototype that I can see but I cannot target. Only Kha'ak ships are available.

Also, for some reason, if the goodie crates or free ships spawn in close to traffic or maybe in the path of pirates/in a war sector you may lose them before you can get there (lost 2 Kha'ak ships and 2 rudder/engine tuning crates that way).

I am so happy that X3TC has also recieved a 3.2 patch. This is a game I will always visit from time to time, and now all ships can dock properly in-sector (hooray, at last!). Thanks for that ego, I thouhgt that maybe TC had been abandoned, what with all the fluff and hype about XR and X3AP. So I can continue to enjoy my mega empire in TC for a while yet...

Since the 1.1 patch for Albion Prelude has come out has anyone actually claimed any of the abandoned ships that they found? The reason I am asking is that I have two ships an enhanced dolphin in hilda joy and a demeter prototype in the wasteland both ships sitting far from any gates or stations and not moving. Both before and after the latest patch these two ships do not show up on the sector map even when I am right beside them, they cannot be targeted nor can they be claimed.

It's works for me. Last night I claimed M4 Kha'ak fighter with 4x Kyon alpha.
Founded by SEWN system with 'Detect claimable ships' option turned to 'Yes'

Please read carefully before posting. We all can get the Kha'ak ships, it's the CW specials that are still an issue (non-targetable thus non-aquirable). Such specials include but are not limited to Scorpion Prototype, Enhanced Dolphin, Enhanced Mercury.

Uh... No mention of a Macintosh update?

Is this going to be like my experience with X2 back when..

Lots of patches and fixes for the windows platform..

None for the Mac?

It was that experience and the abysmal support from VLPD (if a negative score was possible, they'd have eanred it, it was horrid. Absolutely zero response to any issue) that caused me to give up on the entire X series until I got AP a few weeks ago. I certainly hope this won't be a repeat of the past.

Hi

I am looking forward to both new games.

I have X-BTF, X-Tention, X2, X3-Reunion and X3-TC. (All separate purchases)

Anyone know if there will be a download version of
Albion for Windows 7 PC, and if there will be a discount
for owning the previous games? I do not have Steam so I cant take advantage of that. Is Albion an add-on to X3TC or a completely new game?

Also will there be A full box version of X-Rebirth for Win 7 PC any time soon?
I am in the USA and may have to purchase/imported the game from the X-Univers Store.

[wooaa]

is there a way to get this patch if i bought the game though the mac app store, i am still at 1.0. or do you know when VP games will get the patch?

[ocoini]

Great patch for X3:TC, loving it, performance is so smooth now

[Eisenkalle]

AP related:

I was not following any of the topics around the random Khaak ships. I got myself a Khaak Interceptor as a free ship (did the repairlaser trick). Now I remember some people having an ownerless Khaak M6 in their games.

Any news about it? Being boardable or just a simple take over possible?

[Slocket]

There is no Steam patch. only 1.0b. Where do we get it?
