No. They are both linked to the main plot, so you cannot play them if you start as Terran Commander.

(1) If i have principal (but not technical) issues, how do i obtain this NoSteam executable (without lying) ?

(2) Can i uninstall Steam client after NoSteam executable has been activated ?

I assume you'll be covered too, as it'll probably be freely available from the Egosoft website.

will there ever be an update bringing some "mini-plots" to the Terran Side in order to obtain the PHQ, HUB and UFJD?

also i havnt seen anything that would suggest the ATF rep issue people had has been rectofied, the fact that many people seem to be able to fix there Terran Rep given time but not the ATF.

Whilst I am happy to see that AP is being patched and updated with new mini plots etc, I just don't think that I can find the time to start from scratch again to gain these plot rewards and to build up the empire that I already had waiting for these plots on my Terran Commander start.

Thanks for patching AP EGOSOFT but I think I will just check out the new ships when it comes out and then call it a day and wait diligently for Rebirth.

You can go modified and have a PHQ with what ever start you use.

As for the Hub... I will have to test that before I can confirm.
atm it is a no-go. Just a sector without gates to link.
When patch 2.0 is released I'll rest and let you know ... probably in a new thread. :)

About the soundtrack. Will there be a download offered for users who purchased the Terran War Pack through Steam, or is it included with the hardcopy only?

Does this mean the problem of ships forgetting what they're doing when under attack has been fixed? I'm one of those who has experienced the annoying (and deadly) bug where ships stop what they're doing when being attacked.
Autopilot epically failed.

i wonder if they will add some new sectors (unknown sectors works)

as for terrans. can you just work your standing with the argons and do the plot? to get the missing goodies?

The only gripe I have about the 2.0 patch fix list, is that there is no news on the DiD save game loss problem. :-(

No, you need the code:
<set_value name="Albion Prelude Plot Start" exact="1"/>
Which is missing on the Terran start.

That's correct. The X3AP-only add-on pack is only available in German-speaking countries. However the only difference between language versions is the packaging; all in-game languages are on the DVD itself, so there's nothing stopping you from buying the German add-on pack, either from the Egosoft shop or, say, amazon.de, and then simply choosing English in the installer.
A German box for the AP Addon is no problem for me, but what I'm confused about is what is actually on the DVD. Is it the full game or is it just the Steam installer that triggers an English AP Addon download from Stream when I select English?

from what ive read before i always took it as the full game files would be included on both AP and X:Rebirth disc copies, and you would only require STEAM to activate.... weither or not that is still the case i dont know
