When you've reached level 5 in the Corporation Troubles plot, you're supposed to take part in an auction to acquire further shares of the corporation. After winning this auction and paying the seller, you'll find a note in your cargo bay, either immediately or after undocking from the station where the auction took place. Selecting this item in your cargo bay will start the Breaking Grounds plot.

Thanks very much for the explanation.

I'm interested in this as well but Virtual Programming seems a bit behind the time and it might be complicated by steamplay - so I'm not expecting much.

I'm wondering about which files actually got updated? I might try dumping some of the updated windows files into the OSX package and seeing what happens.

Cool, thank you.

For Mac users simply copying the updated Windows files to the X3AP package seems to work perfectly fine - new campaign starts, no modified tag etc, haven't tested for that long however and it is a very convoluted way of updating, but if people are desperate to avoid booting to windows...

EDIT>

I've chucked a fake patch for OSX with rudimentary instructions that Mac users can download here:

{Link removed. - Terre}

I couldn't be bothered picking each individual file from the entire scripts & T folder so the whole things (including the official bonus pack) are is there.

This is for Mac users who may not have a bootcamp installation of X3, but
I've only had time to play a bit of it and it hasn't been thoroughly tested so use at your own risk. At least it might tide you over till something official comes out.

So far it hasn't produced a *MODIFIED* tag but no promises so back up both your save games and the X3AP app.

*Mods feel free to delete or move this post if this is against the rules or breaks some T&C's: I know that Virtual Programming are supposed to handle all Mac App Store support not Egosoft.

Why was the link removed?

I only own the Mac version from the app store, and not the Windows version...

I was advised that, the user had created a fake patch mod with all the new X3AP 3.0 added/changed files, they are not his files to distribute.

I watched the trailer and it said

'new sectors'

Plural 'sector,' more than one. Yet after completeing the Breaking Grounds plot, I count only ONE new sector.

Do I need to be more patient and keep exploring or perhaps accept some goner gate hunting exploratory mission?

Or does 1 sector somehow count as 'sectors?'
so, yeah; be patient, or is that it?

Terran's didn't have access to a lot of Commonwealth technology in AP 1.0 (Bioscanner, Supply Command Software, to name a few). This changed for 2.0. Why? Maybe some ATF Operative stole it :wink:

i dunno about that, arnt Terrans spose to be Vastly technologicly superior to all the common wealth races? isnt that why the argons secretly built an armarda of AGI drones and launched them through terrans backdoor and also having to destroy there torus before going to war with them? and even crippling there fleet terrans still held there ground

They are vastly superior in some areas of technology. They developed Electro-Magnetic Pulse weapons to counter future AGI threats, and their Matter / Antimatter technology gives their ships superior speed and firepower.

But Teladi research excels in trade software, Argons excel in biological sciences, Boron in Ion drives and weapons, Paranid in the realm of AGI and Cybernetics. Split males aren't known for their scientific endeavors, and their culture holds back the scientific aptitudes of their females.

Are there any special requirements needed to find any of the new missions? I have yet to find a new generic mission in my game.

Where is this located for people who have steam?

One more questions:

Does anyone know what the rewards are for completing the Aldran Adventurer, Lost Lar, and Goner Witness gamestarts? Want to start a new game, but am curious if there is anything worth getting aside from the Poisoned Paranid overtuned Hyperion Vanguard.
