It is great foundation of for game but not great game. Meaning that it is fucking boring, AI is fucked that constantly destroys your hard earned ships, economy without mods is fucking micromanaging hell and everything feels "loose". Problem with X3 vanilla is that it is shit. So basically it is space empire game where you start from 0 (or choose "better" start) and make your own empire. you can have fleet of traders that will run around in galaxy selling either your shit or just trading without you micromanaging it. you can create whole Fleet of AI controled units who will follow you and make your own wars you can build almost any station you usually buy your stuff from you can fly any ship you see (even destroyers) I will be playing LU for some time so i can also help people play it if they don't know something. So this is kind of let's play thread and both informative one. And after spending some hours with it, i think this is something that warrants new thread so few people could lose couple hundreds of hours with me. Well i have been playing Xtended overhaul mod for it which i praised a lot in past but there is newer one and much more robust and "better" overhaul called. Sorry for derailing you're thread Lit I've already started on a fresh install so that when you're LU mod comes out I'm ready to give it a whirl.Many of you heard about X3. Just give us the word when you're ready to go public. I'll also see what I can do on getting the word out on your project to as many eyeballs and gaming outlets as I can. I also second Curlsworth's idea of checking with other skilled modders that you know on this forum, or possibly elsewhere that could help out with more coding, modeling, textures, etc. ![]() You guys will need to come up with a quantitative goal to reach, after taking costs and everything into consideration. ![]() All you need at this point is a capable team that you are preferably acquainted with and who shares our enthusiasm, and then you guys can make the glam and glitter needed to generate enough media hype to advertise the kickstarter. Like Curlsworth said, we'll gladly support your project. Working on it painfully slow? Still the best space sim news I've heard all day! Jack is Back. Too bad they can't just open their own studio. If all the pro modders in this community were to make their own space game and were given the budget and time (7 years full time paid labor) that EGOSOFT had I would bet money that it would blow X-R out of the water. I mean come on, there's a HUGE problem if a game company needs to rely on it's fanbase to make the game good, and an even bigger problem if they need to rely on their fanbase to make the game functional at all. I personally think EGOSOFT needs to support themselves by making and selling good software, and not rely on the hardwork of their fanbase to do their jobs for them, and as a matter of fact, better than the actual devs. They should have known better from the start to not make X-R, but what's done is done. ![]() Well to be honest, it's not like our (read some of us) trust in EGOSOFT has been damaged for no reason. Rebirth trashed their reputation, and no one of use wants to see Egosoft go away - bringing out another official X3 expansion could bring some trust back and fill up their bank account a little bit. This may sound far-fetched, but have you thought about contacting Egosoft? I can totally see that your mod may serve as the base for another X3 title.
