I've received lots of requests over the past week to keep you updated as soon as I launched a Nexus site for X Rebirth, so here it is.
I'll PM a few of the current authors who have been quick off the mark with their mods for the game to let them know. And please give me a poke and let me know if you come across any bugs. We're between two major code bases at the moment in preparation for a rework of the network so this site was a real chore to get out!X Rebirth, the next iteration in Egosoft’s popular space pew pew series, came out on Friday. The X series has always been highly moddable and I’ve always been a big fan of it (indeed, I helped a friend to maintain a fansite for X2, X2 Source, for several years back in 2004-2006). I’ve had a lot of people ask me if I’d be willing to run a Nexus site for the game and while I know many of the modders in the community are quite set in their ways in using the official Egosoft forums there’s no reason why both cannot be used. A Nexus site to host the files and the official forums for publicising and critical feedback would synergise quite well, to be fair, much like the synergy between the Elder Scrolls/Fallout games, Nexus and the official Bethesda forums. We’re not mutually exclusive.
With that said I’m happy to announce the launch of X Rebirth Nexus. I will be monitoring the community closely over the coming weeks to assess how things are progressing and whether there’s any demand (or possibility) to integrate the game into NMM. In the meantime I hope people are enjoying the game.
It was not yet in the drop down menu, guess you're going to add it soon™ ?
