Any mandatory mods?

[hirokaraka]

I played previous games long time ago (finished X2 in 2016) and want to start X3. Are there any mods or unoficial patches that are a must-have?

xtended mod is the best mod but cant seem to get it to work on steam game is incomplete so load order is messed up was free dlc bala gi missions cant find it and the mods need it to run

there's already the Bala Gi missions integrated in the game (provided you bought the game on Steam) check the game description in the store :)

Did you followed proper installation instructions?

To install XTM you need to download both of the following:

Alternative links:
(Last updated: 07.08.2016. X2-Illuminatus)
0.75 Mod Files (XTM_0.7.5_Full.exe) (Download from moddb.com)
0.75 Script Files (XTM_0.7.5_Patch.exe) (Download from {連結已移除}mediafire.com)
or
0.75 Script Files (XTM_0.7.5_Patch.exe) (Download from xdownloads.co.uk)

You will need XScript Installer by Cycrow to install the scripts packages, and an archive utility such as winrar or 7zip to extract the XTM.7a.rar

Extract the XTM.7a.rar in to the X3Reunion directory, where X3.exe is located. Then use the XScript Installer to install the scripts package and the patch.

One would think that necromany belongs to fantasy/medieval games, but apparently it's befitting for sci-fi too :D

Mine were
Commercial Agent (priority #1)
CLS
Missle Defense mosquto.
Early Warning Sat network
turret on/off hotkey
------------
maybe:
MARS (MARS removes the need for the turret on/off script... but on/off script is simple and was good if I didn't want to deal with MARS or if my PC just could no longer handle MARS)
