The X Superbox
Posted: Thu Sep 17, 2009 9:06 am
Looks like Egosoft is going to make like an ultimate collection of there games in one package that will also include some of the best player made additions to all the X games. This could be a real nice package for the X fan, especially since you won't have to try and track down some good mods :)Personally since this X3TC is the conclusion to the series, I want to see what is next from Egosoft. They have to be planning something? If they can use their graphic engine and just tweak the current X3TC with some faster paced action and possible planet exploration it would be a hit. And of course simplify the interface a bit more.

Hello X-Space-pilots!As you may have noticed EGOSOFT is planning to release a Superbox containing all the X-series titles along with lots of content made by fans of the series. Before I start listing all the content we'd like to see in this box, let me describe the purpose of the box and why we thought it was a good idea to publish it.First of all I should explain that "Superbox" is more of a working title for this unofficial project than a fixed name. We haven't decided yet what name we will give it; as soon as we have made a decision you will be the first to know!As you probably know, the 10-year story of the X-series came to a conclusion with X3: Terran Conflict. Over the years many fans of the series have come to these forums and many are still here in the community. They are sure to remember the humble beginnings of this story with Kyle William Brennan and his ship, the X-perimental. In X-Beyond the Frontier he lost contact with Earth as a result of a terrible accident involving his jumpdrive and had to fight against massive threats. In X-Tension he recovered a lost prototype ship belonging to the Paranid. In X2: The Threat and X3: Reunion his son, Julian Brennan, followed his footsteps and fought against more dangerous threats than his father could have ever done. In doing so he rescued millions of people in Omicron Lyrae and even made it possible to reconnect the X-Universe with the Sol system. In X3: Terran Conflict you had to maintain peace while the Kha'ak and the Xenon, the descendants of the Terraformers, continued to threaten not only the people of the X-Universe, but also the humans of the Sol system and of course you! This was the only way to grant both sides a peaceful future together.All the games mentioned above will be in this special box, that much is for sure! But the games of the X-series also motivated many people to create expansions, write scripts, fan-fiction and many other things. To make this superbox worthy of the name, we are calling upon our trusted community to make suggestions of possible fan-made content to go into the box. The potential variety of the content is huge, so don't be hesitant when making your suggestions. This box shouldn't just be something from EGOSOFT for fans, but by fans for fans. You wrote many useful guides, tutorials and HowTo's that we'd also like to add to the content of the superbox. Tell us what you want to see in this box and we'll do our best to add it.To keep an overview of the collected content we've decided to separate this request into five threads. The content we want is so huge that it would be easy to lose track if we collected it all in one thread.So, we are separating the subject areas into the following categories:* X-UniverseHere we are going to collect:Tutorials, Guides, Tips, Tricks, HowTo'sSector mapsSavegames (Follow this link for instructions)Screenshots (i.e. as loadscreens)We will look through all of this content and decide which to put into the box. We ask you to always post a link to the content you want us to include so that we don't have to spend too much time searching for it.* X3: Terran Conflict - Scripts & Modding ForumHere we will collect the following things:ScriptsModsScripting and Modding tutorialsAL-Plug-insMD-MissionsMD-TutorialsPlug-ins & ToolsShips (need to be installable with Cycrow's Ship Installer)Please note that any scripts you suggest need to have an interface, so that they don't need to be executed via the Script Editor.* X3: Reunion - Scripts & Modding ForumHere we are collecting:ScriptsModsScripting and Modding tutorialsAL-Plug-insMD-MissionsMD-TutorialsPlug-ins & ToolsShips (need to be installable with Cycrow's Ship Installer)Please note that any scripts you suggest need to have an interface, so that they don't need to be executed via the Script Editor.* X2: The Threat - Scripts & Modding ForumHere we will collect:ScriptsModsScripting and Modding tutorialsPlug-ins & ToolsAL-Plug-insPlease note that any scripts you suggest need to have an interface, so that they don't need to be executed via the Script Editor.* Creative UniverseHere we are collecting:Fan-fictionWallpapersMusicRegarding music titles, these must be fan-made rather than commercially released tracks that require licensing, and must also not already have been used in any of the games. Wallpapers should have X as a theme and not your favourite cars; the same goes for fan-fiction. Since we know your creativity knows no limits, anything not listed here is also allowed as long as it relates to X.As you can see the box is turning into a really big project. EGOSOFT isn't just going to ask you for content, but will also be adding its own materials that will definitely throw you out of your pilot's seat! We want this superbox to be as big as possible so we are asking for your help in collecting good, helpful materials, and are looking forward to your suggestions.Enjoy!
