Looks like the X-tended team needs the much needed battlecruiser-sized thanks for their gratuitous work on keeping the much cherished space-sim genre alive. The aforementioned gratitude is not only fully deserved, but it is a bit of an understatement, becouse according to the kind of latest news Egosoft has just released a sort of an add-on(X3 Albion Prelude) for the X3:TC, which would be a bridge linking the events from the TC with the upcoming X Rebirth, the fully fledged and long awaited sequel. My money is on this thesis: Egosoft/Deep Silver "****, some modders are making our game better? More extensive? Unglaublich! Let's show the upstarts what "extended" means." And thus, the cycle comes to its beginning, as it was with the X-tended mod for X3 Reunion which bore fruit in the shape of X3:TC. And in advance I just want to say, I can't really wait for your mod, or rather the much needed improvement of the upcoming sequel!

(if any of the above is incorrect I would be most pleased to be corrected)

Workes like a charm now. Thanks a lot!

Apparently the complex construction kit appears to be bugged or incomplete. I select the two stations that are to be connected with the kit and the position of the hub and after confirming my choice it does not appear(nothing happens). Could it be due to the fact that I am using terran stations?

Hello, as to continue on my apparent habit of nagging (or just asking, if you will) while sailing through the void I receive from time to time this mission:

SB_String(0)
Intercept: Pirates Ships
Time left:<no limit> ???

(In the mission briefing screen I see this:)
Defend Sector from Pirates
Intercept the fleeing pirates!

0:
0:
SB_String(0): SB_String(0)
time left:<no limit> ???

The mission guidance(it highlights the mission-important objective with gold frame) does not show anything. After disabling it, it cannot be turned on again. Also, it stacks, meaning if I do not abort it, in time there are several identical mission entries in my missions tab. It does not hinder the gameplay in any way, but is a bit strange. Also i have a problem with selling wares: theire bought only by specific stations(though i have not discovered which), for example a loot from a Xenon Q, its heavy cannon Polaron Pulse Launcher, cannot be sold in any known so far to me location,(using the best buy/sell locator) even in trading stations, its simply not shown as a tradable good, and in equipment stations its viewed as a product and as such cannot be sold to the station. Same goes for pretty much every missile and torpedo looted from those pesky bombers. Everything else is purely awesome.

The list of updates done in 1.1 is very pleasing. However, is it possible for XTC team upload a patch of some sort instead of having to download the entire executable file for the installation? Also, will the saves from version 1.0 work with the new one?

Thanks! ^^

During my play I had a minor problem. In a fight sometimes my shields drop to zero in an instance with me not being shot at. What can cause this? Is this a bug? I am flying the yokohama given at the "A new career" beginning with difficulty set to normal.

Do you mean icons such as the targeting reticule for combat missions, the lightbulb and credits or the unique open book icons?

If I may ask, what vanilla X3 game version does the mod require? Is it 2.5 or 3.0?

Thanks for the updated version of manual, I see that You have corrected some of the errors I have seen. The release is coming soon, right? Will the mod be ready before christmas? After reading the extense of the changes vanilla X3 feels so... crude and unpolished.

Judging from what I have seen and read so far, I suppose Egosoft will soon regret not having You on their payroll! ^^

Will new sound effects be implemented? Im thinking in particular about the flak (e.g. starburst shockwave can.) blasts that sometimes can cause ear bleeding, will such "nuisances" be changed?

To look badass perhaps?

Thanks for the answers! They have kind of made the wait even harder. ^^

An enquiry that appeared to me lately whilst playing X3 TC:
Will the mod implement ATF shipyards? As I remember the game itself contains only the USC stations allowing to purchase terran ships(but only those related to USC), ATF vessels could be acquired only through boarding their ships or as a reward for the Terran plot(or has the presence of the spoken ATF station escaped my perception?).

This mod is by far the best one for X3: TC, and I would even dare to say that one is my personal favourite and will surely get the MOTY award, or at least will be one of the mods that were most frequently voted on. And if I may ask, how large is the mod expected to be? As a last thing, I hope this brilliant peace of painstaking work will not end up dead, a fact I would not abide. So, best of luck in squashing those pesky bugs!
