Fleet commanders in X have a difficult task in coordinating their many fighter squadrons. The group management system provides assistance in controlling large fighter groups. Now it is possible to command a fighter group to quickly attack and also retreat with the carrier.

When a ship is reverse engineered in the headquarters a blueprint for mass production is created. This process involves teams of engineers painstakingly removing, analyzing, documenting and storing the ship components. The drawback of this operation is that the resources that were used to manufacture the ship cannot be recycled. However, engineers can instead opt to strip the ship solely for these resources. This process is of course faster but will not result in the creation of a production blue print.

Many freighter pilots have reported the strange disappearance of their freight. Intelligence reports from underground sources suggest a "shield hacker" device has been covertly developed by pirates. However, no exemplars have been recovered for examination. Any pilot gaining possession of such a device should immediately contact the Argon authorities. Keep your eyes peeled!

The fantastic fan-created XTended-Mod (XTM) is now available for download in its latest version, .7a from here at the Egosoft site.

We strongly recommend that you check this out as it will add hour upon hour of game play and transform X3: Reunion into a different game.

Mods are pretty common for PC games these days. It's fair to say that when the first modders started to ask questions and get creative, developers largely ignored them, and in fact often discouraged them. Times have changed - here at Egosoft we have always prided ourselves on taking as much initiative from fans as possible, and when some fans group together and create something as remarkable as XTM, we believe that they deserve as much support as possible.

So, if you're new to modding or just wondering what this new release will give you, check out the screens and read on.

Just what does XTM give you? Well...

- an incredible 90 new universe sectors, including the Terran Solar System and new race sectors
- over 90 new ships from all races, including the M0 and a selection of ships remodelled and brought back from X2
- new in-game effects, from weapons to soundtracks to planets
- new commands, new stations, new wares and commodities, even new ship types.

The list is endless, the download is not. Get XTM .7 now and open your eyes to an X universe created directly by the fans for the fans.

I've always been a 'vanilla' game player, but I'm proud to say that I've installed XTM .7 and I'm loving it. Don't take my word for it though - check out the trailer (you'll need Winrar) or look on Youtube. Not seen enough yet? Then get .7a from the links below, and enjoy!

Then, for those of you wanting to know more about XTM, the features and the people behind it, check your Inbox for a new X-News coming soon. Of course, the Egosoft development team are also rather busy at the moment on several fronts and we can't wait to bring you some more news soon.
