To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

X Games on Steam Free Weekend 13/15 March

According to IncGamers site http://www.incgamers.com/2015/03/x-rebirth-free-weekend-update-3-50 the games will be on Steams free weekend along with the release of XR patch update to 3.50 and a permanent Steam price cut.

 

As the site does not bother to give any source for this and I can't see anything on the official or Steam forums we will just have to wait until next weekend.

Well I already own the rest of the series and I've heard mixed (leaning heavily towards BAD) feedback about XR.

That's the idea behind these demo weekends where you can download a game and play around with it, then decide if you want to buy it.

 

Does make sense for Egosoft to do it as XR has changed a lot since it's launch.

It's official. http://steamcommunity.com/games/2870/announcements/detail/133193267298626913

 

And a test of the Linux version.

 

 

We also have a Free Weekend running on Steam until the 15th of March for all of our X series games, and the very first Alpha test version of X: Rebirth for Linux is available through Steam Play.

X superbox is 9.99 usd on the humble bundle store but it doesn't contain xrebirth. x3tc is probably the best in the series.

Its oookay. But like most of the X games I've tried feels very much a case of 'chuck you in and hope you can swim' as far as learning the game goes.
