Yes I totally remember that cru.. episode in Star Trek. The terrible 'eat you out of house and home' furball... The Federation were all a quiver.

I suppose if you bred Tribbles with Wombles you could get Trumbles? At least they would clean up after cleaning you out

Do you mean "THEN"?

THEN....Sorry. I can't speak english too well....

edohaz · Post by **edohaz** » Thu, 11. Oct 07, 21:19

Well that's alright then! Just trying to keep up the english language to proper standards.

Do you know, what they could fix(remodel)? All thing, what they have brought back from X2. Example: crates, fighter drones, military transport, complex hubs, pleasure complex inside....Oh, and they could fix the disappearing kha'ak

cockpits.

It's an update, not a rebuild of the entire game

repatomonor21 · Post by **repatomonor21** » Thu, 11. Oct 07, 22:48

Let me guess...:new script engine. (Hybrid from the X2's?)-gunnery crews?
What about new cockpits?-every ship has it's own cockpits, like the Argon Cockpits Mod.... Or another Bala Gi plot....I would love to. Example: after the player HQ, there's becoming the Player ShipYard

And a new M7 ship: I would like to introduce the Argon Superion!!!

Or a new HUD GUI?- don't mind....
I can't wait for that new patch

- one question: will I have to start a new game, after installing the patch, or it can handle the saved games?

Post by **CBJ** » Thu, 11. Oct 07, 23:01

Finally a question that can be answered: patches for both X² and X³ will be compatible with unmodified savegames from previous versions of the respective games. Obviously there can't be any guarantees with modified games but I think most of those should work too.

As Apoch has already said this is a patch not major game rewrite, so some people are getting a little over-excited in their speculation.

repatomonor21 · Post by **repatomonor21** » Thu, 11. Oct 07, 23:08

Unmodified? And if I have both ashley's fabs, and argon cockpits mod installed, and a few script...example: taxi software MKI, sector takeover....(none guild)? Does these matters?
Or is there will be any "big bangs" in the new patch, so I won't play X3, until the new patch?....

Post by **CBJ** » Thu, 11. Oct 07, 23:13

As I said, there can be no guarantees with modified games. How could there be? Developers cannot to take into account all of the possible things that modders could have done. However, as I said, I think it is reasonably unlikely that there will be many problems with modified games.

If there were any information available about the actual content of the patch then it would have been in the news article.

I guess it wont get clearer then that.

[EDIT] errr to late... i'm getting slow...

PS.: It seams we can discard the idea of new sectors.

No New Sectors?!?
AWWWWWwwwww....

Welp, My current X3 game ends the day the 2.5 patch goes live.

Qustion is how long will I have to fight the two billion credit thing before it does?

Better yet will I still need to install "Ashley's factory Mod" to save my sanity?

Patience and caution. I would wait a day or two and keep backups, for many of the previous releases have received quick fixes.

But not everyone, otherwise who's going to do the gamma testing?
