New patch for X3 (2015)

[Destin Faroda]

Apparently, Egosoft wants to release another patch for X3. Currently, they are collecting suggestions in this thread:
http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=378073

I've suggested the following tweaks in the German forum:
- Current Non-Steam-Exe
- Terran Police License
- Terran Marines
- Terran Katana needs starbursts in order to fulfill her role as anti-fighter ship
- Add a Fusion Laser as a heavy Terran frigate/capital weapon
- Optimized 3d models with fewer polygons like the ones in Lucike's forum
- There's an optimized jobs.txt: http://forum.dvbtechnics.info/showthread.php?t=31736
- All of Lucike's scripts should be put into the standard game
- A rotating Earth wouldn't be a bad idea
- The Encyclopedia mod adds ships and stations from the novels into the X universe, so why don't they add these into the game as well?
- Numbered faction ranks would be comfortable
- Get rid of the collision problems: http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=3504935
- This mod adds a little bit of life into space http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=354571

I'd kill for a Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu (Legend of Galactic Heroes) game with the X3 mechanics.

Terran Police License seems like a no brainer but I am not sure it fits "in universe". Terrans keep a tight control over their territory. I just dont see a none player actually lasting very long in Terran space by the lore they give us. The rest is pretty solid.

I want to see some of the ideas TECSG has scripted in his SCS script.

Aran Mobile Repair Ship - An Aran that can repair docked ships and those repairs can be set to cost or not. Allowing every ship from the smallest fighter to another Aran dock and be repaired.

The ability to sell repaired ships to NPC's

The ability to move asteroids from one sector to another.

The ability to balanced the game by having variable costs for the above features - let the player set the balance. It is a Single Player game after all.

The ability to convert ships AND derelict stations to resources.

The ability to carry more than 1 Jump Drive, for easier salvaging.

The ability to set a region of Sectors to be scavenged by an NPC company for a set fee.

I found the above features really enhanced the game and have hardly ever played without the SCS script once I had got bored with Vanilla

giving more life to the earth sector would be good. I found a jump beacon (deployed of course) in there after flying around aimlessly for hours but its like 250km from the toa!

More than likely, ALL these idea's (although are well thought out..) will not be put into the game.

They said that they are looking for small idea's such as graphs to input into the game...something to the effect that some mods will also make it into the game as well...

It would be a remarkable improvement that some mods or scripts will be included in a update, although I wonder how that would make anybody's saved game work afterwards.

Feel free to discuss this, but anything you actually want the developers to see - post it in the official forum that is linked in the above link.

Any way to disable the updates just for this game, because I have 60 mods in my current game and that update could break something....

Aside from being in Steam offline mode 24/7, not really.

From Steam's library, right click on your game, properties, then choose the updates menu. From there, change the game to not update automatically. Be warned, however, once the update hits, if you uninstall the game or games files are otherwise lost, you will have to download the updated version.

IF you already have a game and its update menu is disable, and you have a backup on your drive, you can use that to correct any corrupted or changed file\s of the game as long as you're not connected to the steam network.

-Collision issues

-Tyr should have a bigger cargo space. By the time you load it with PSPs you can only add about 1500 ECs. Not really good. Megalodon can carry all weapons needed and 4500+ ECs so you dont have to resupply it all the time.

-Have turrets stop fire if they are pointed into friendly ship.

-Ability for a player to pick a loadout for the ship and when buying those ships player would be able to select his loadout. Not have to go and spend hours searching for equipment and wares and arming ship. I know there is something regarding this in HQ but I would like to see this available at the docks.

-Make at least one M2 ship capable of using Phased Array Laser Cannons in all its turrets.
