With all these fixes X-R should be coming alone nicely, if I see this on Steam sale this summer I might execute before the 1yr anniversary 🙂
I was pretty impressed with the 2.0 reviews that came out recently, so Egosoft is doing a lot of hard work.
I had expected them to follow this path, they did exactly the same with X3 reunion 🙂 I still got the disc i pre-ordered and it had a separate disc included with the first patch 😀
Srry but don't belive the hype-
Won't play it till patch 5.0
I played it quite a bunch, its improved a lot, but i still miss proper endgame content: ie stuff to do after the storyline.
I hope either egosoft or modders add it in. And then I am pointing to stuff like Race Response Fleets, sector takeover, wars, etc.
