That is what i want the most. exploring. I started playing at X2 and loved the disciovering side of the game. X3 came and it was the same game, give a few sectors and ships but ok, i can deal with that. XTM slotted in and it was WOW! all over again.
X:TC came along....same game and none of the hinted greatness that was X3:XTM, in fact is was IMO a dumbed down vesion of it.
Now, just over the horizon, comes a new XTM. All new everything! yeah!

Ok, forgive me if this is a stupid question but will all the original TC sectors be accessible with XTM installed?

I guess you mean XTC? This had been stated before. No it won't be possible.
If we would include the old universe the game would turn into a lag fest.
X3TC doesn't support Multicore CPUs so a Universe with 800 (don't hold me to it) sectors will turn any game on every PC into a giant lag...

You will like it, believe me. Lot of effort went into it.

There are 199 new sectors, not 800, KJ was exaggerating to make a point.

BlackCoffee · Post by **BlackCoffee** » Tue, 2. Feb 10, 09:49

199....and no old sectors? still a good deal in my books.

Hyperbole... Don't you just love it...

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
This is me actually restraining my enthusiasm as I see 199 new sectors!
I was hoping for some new sectors but a completely new universe map just blows my mind.
How do you expect me to wait even one more day for this treat??

PS
Couldn't you squeeze in just one more sector to make it even 200

I'm not sure, but I think Ive read something about a sector limit.

Treelor · Post by **Treelor** » Fri, 5. Feb 10, 06:07

Yep, X engine tends to crap itself after 400-some sectors.

400? Wow. How could you fill all that? I think putting in a lot of unknown sectors would be cool for exploration, as you could put a lot of cool hidden stuff.

Also, what about the races in the mod? Are we going to be seeing the usual gang? Or will there be new ones?

Astral Projestion · Post by **Astral Projestion** » Thu, 11. Feb 10, 09:31

crazy mod cant wait for it few q can u make sectors larger dont like the feeling that teran station are gonna poke my eye out when i jump in they are soooo large and some travel time from gate to gate would be nice some sectors were u cant use radar and cant see cr*p above few meters ie favorite hunting grounds 4 xenon/khaak or urs

ohh and khaak or Kha'ak dudes need face lift they look like they coming from 1994 video game

Pretty sure races are hardcoded. And Xtended tries to follow X lore, so..

It's a shame you can't internally rename sectors as when you have found an unknown sector you could mark it in the universal map and give it a name. I can see it now;
Sector One: Great Dakier
Sector Two: One and Only Lord Dakier
Sector Three: He Came, He Saw, He Retreated

Everything you guys (XTC mod guys) tell us sounds just like music.

I’m a great fan of your work (and of your ships) and like almost everyone around here I can’t wait for this SUPER MOD to be released.

I know I’ll have to wait, and I will but I just wanted to thank you all for doing things like you do, with so much quality and beauty.

If you get to do all those things you say are doing and get a better performance than the Vanilla TC you’ll upgrade to the category of genious!!

Keep up the good work!!

We are sticking to the established races because we stay within the X lore as much as we can. There is obviously a bit of creative licence to enable us to create a new universe map, but it is logical and fits into what is known from the games so far.

What, and be conventional?? We will keep it at 199 for tax reasons.

I hope you mean classical and not Hip-Hop. XD
