X3 - Terran Conflict Extended has been added to the Premium Pack.

* New this week to the Premium Pack: X3 - Terran Conflict Extended.



A brand new, stand-alone game set in the universe of X3

Life in the wide reaches of space can have vast ranges of being. Adventure and strategy await in the dotted reaches of an infinity that holds challenges and conflicts. X3 - Terran Conflict is a brand new, stand-alone game set in the universe of X3. It is the culmination of the X trilogy, with a grand finale that takes us all the way back to Earth's own solar system. Gamers can take on the roles of different characters in the X universe, or of a Terran military pilot, and experience a multitude of stories in the largest X universe ever featured - for X3 - Terran Conflict will offer more missions than any other X game before. Meanwhile, X3 - Terran Conflict will pose questions such as: How has Earth changed in all these years? And how will relations between Earth and its counterparts in the X universe develop?

About time!

Egosoft sure took thier time in letting this gem onto the system.. if any of you are into any of the X series you will enjoy this, Im actually getting it to see it on an updated graphics card.

"Now Boron teach you how to fight!"

hehe, I knew you were going to love this Wild You've been waiting ages to get this here:) And we finally delivered!

Well got it on disc so wasnt immediate for me.. now can mothball the DVD and run through here instead. Still a great addition in my opinion.

and to keep with the quotes

"Pathetic Unholy Being,

I, Unmankellnot, Paranid of great esteem, Advisor to the Pontifex Maximus Paranidia, faultless ruler of the all knowing Paranid Empire have been given the authority to demand that you, despite certain genetic inconsistencies and visual impairment are to recieve the most recent in Paranid ship design excellence. The ship, our most glorious empires latest Corvette class vessel is currently stocked at all Paranid shipyards, you will now buy the Thanatos.

Then you are to test the craft to the best of your inability and all statistics and other information that you can not understand will automatically be transferred to the Paranid Empire, to be perused over by beings capable of grasping three-dimensionality.

I understand that you will be deeply honoured, and shocked that you have been chosen for this most illustrious task. But be fully aware that you have only been chosen, despite the fact that you are an evolutionary dead-end, through divination by the great Pontifex Maximus Paranidia for reasons that you will not be able to comprehend.

We, the great Paranid empire have desciphered that you, in your disabled state may not be able to find Paranid territory, or the shipyards there-in. If this is the case, then we will waste no more of our precious time on you, and you may continue with your pitiful existence.

Unmankellnot, Paranid of great esteem, Advisor to the Pontifex Maximus Paranidia."

oooo graphics already top notch can only imagine total immersion with 3d ships hehe

I really need to get an X52 (or equivalent - any good full HOTAS sticks/throttles around with force feedback these days?) to play more space sims... There aren't enough good ones made anymore!

downloading as i type this, I suspect it will look rather nice running on my GTX 460

have to agree there.. I still wish I could get a Logitech Extreme Analog joystick (the digital always lost calibration) best stick I had. Wasnt Force feedback, but unlike many of the current crop there was resistance in the base which made my movements smooth and not feel like Im combatting a floppy stick. Also weighed a ton so wouldnt be picked up easily by sudden evasive manouvres. I used to play Wing Commander on this and never needed a second hand to hold it down.

Currently have a Saitek Cyborg Evo Force. Its ok, nothing to write home about.

Do you need the seperate throttle control?

Thrustmaster T Flight Stick X-PC Joystick
Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X Joystick
Thrustmaster T.16000M

Will cost a sight less than the Saitek 52 and look solid. Personally Im not sure whether to go for the 1st or 3rd stick myself, but if I had the money to spend Id be buying one of them.

However you specifically say the HOTAS sticks/throttles how about a bit more realism than the x52 will cost you a pretty pound but here you go

Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Joystick and Throttle

Another one thats really something more if you want to have the full control of flying a plane/helicoptor (more aimed at people playing Flight Similator than gaming Id say)

Logitech G940 Flight System
