Another Space Sim

Wed Aug 27, 2003 2:26 am by robjgmls

Any of you guys think X2:The Threat will be any better than Freelancer? I've read some interesting game previews. Some of the game's features are simular to Freelancer's it looks like. I think I read somewhere that you could fly 35+ different ships and have more than 1 crew member onboard to run a ship at it's best? You could also own space stations and planets I think? Bleh. Check it out.

www.x2thethreat.com - Game sounds good. I think im going to buy it when it comes out.

Guys be carefull not to make this an advertise-topic, better take this to the off topic, where a few topics on the matter have been started allready btw

Anyway, I can say I'm looking forward to it, two months or so. I can wait.
Stupid me, downloaded the rolling demo and expected to be able to play it

I have no idea what the storyline of X2 is supposed to be about. Can anybody clue me in?

Basically its going to be a new enemy to the X universe (official name is X2 The Threat) that presumably needs its ass kicked.

Check out the forums at www.egosoft.com for more info and links.

Yeah I kind of figured the new enemy in the X universe thing, but I don't know jack about the X universe. Can somebody give me some background info?

basically the X universe is populated by 5 races, pirates and the Xenon (computers). Space is divided up into sectors, bordered by jumpgates which connect them. Each sector can have space stations. factories and asteroids. If you want to know more I'll post in the off topic thread as I dont want to get the thread/post deleted for advertising.

There is a multiplayer persistent online game based on X2 planned but it wont be around for a while.

x2 the threat does look good but how will it play?

to fly free without being shot down by pirates or BUGS[[!

This is the German game, right? I've got X Beyond the Frontier and X-tension. Good games ... but slow, expecially the first one. Elite based games though -- that docking with the stations makes it so obviously clear.
