:lol:They're not my favourite series of games either, Pinback. Although I will admit I've never played X3TC, and do harbour a lingering curiosity about all the goodies therein. And it is pretty. And I do have a new PC coming... I love how they say "a major portion of this update is Steam achievements" but fail to mention any of the other portions of the updates. So...Steam achievements and random bug fixes, then?However I won't mock them on still producing updates. Many publishers wouldn't give a monkeys about a two year old game.

I would have to agree to give Egosoft some props for just providing updates and support for their games is very good practice and I wish more companies had the dedication to there fans. I really want to see what is next from Egosoft but they are tight lipped on that subject.

Two click to the lvl3 forum and presto! You got your info :)Anyway, with a market that is "filled" with 2 combat spacesims and 1 sandbox spacesim a year, I wouldn't be picky - although TC does suck

Must have missed that all I can see is about 6 pages of the fanboys arguing about weatherthey have to be registered on steam too be able to get the update. Stardreamer.If you want to have a go at the business simulation,I have seen the x3 gold boxset inthe budget section now.

Might as well wait for the Ultimate box to come out, it will probably have all the fixes and all of the mods working well together for all the releases of Egosoft.

They seem to have gone very quiet about that boxset.

Here is the trailer for the 2.6 patch[gametrailers]http://www.gametrailers.com/video/patch-2-6-x3-terran/100561[/gametrailers]

Have to admit that between them Eve and X3 have definitely set the look of these types of games, at least in space.
