Time to annihalate the commonwealth in my current game, it seems.

Dunno about Julian, but Saya's assault on the Torus was, together with Elena's death and several other important plot stuff, in the (German-only) book series…

It's in the x-encyclopedia too, won't go into detail about it as I'm probably not allowed. Still... ****ing ********.

Could somebody sum up the events up until the beginning of albion?

I hope that we'll be able to pre-load it on Steam. Well, I will make sure to pre-purchase that game either way, especially at such a low price.

They were right, I don't think anybody, at all, saw this coming. They win!

Will it require TC or it will be stand alone?

On the youtube page it says:

Does that mean TrackIr? If so how many axes?

Just when i was starting to think we were overdue on some news!!!

Good Job Egosoft!!!!

I like surprises like this. Nice. Well done guys.

Quick q if I may: Does this actually need TC installed or is it stand-alone? Sorry if in my excitement I've missed the obvious...

Reason I ask is as a pure-steam download (if we want it on the 15th, which we do) it'd likely be 7gb+ if it includes the core of the original TC in the DL too. This might be a lot for some, though it's ok for me at my ~400kB/s speed - that does go up slightly if I watch it intently enough...

Being a financial trader of markets in real life, I am most looking forward to playing the sci-fi markets of the X-Universe!

VERY EXCITED! CAN'T WAIT!

Awsome Game, I want to try it

but one question, why Saya Kho destroyed Earth Torus?

GuiltySource · Post by **GuiltySource** » Wed, 7. Dec 11, 17:49

Well, this is much better than the free sector we got last time.

Well, it all started after Julian went off with the gangsters daughter from X2 - she took it...badly...

TrackIR is supported, as is FaceTrackNoIR. Not sure about the number of axes, though; probably two.
