X2 The Threat - Game Update - v.1.4 EU - Download

version: v.1.4 EU

IMPROVEMENTS:

*Artificial Life Engine: AL plugins add atmosphere and life to the X Universe. AL settings can be changed in the Options menu. Existing plugins:

- President's End Task Force

- Race Patrol

- TP Liners

*Trading docks and Equipment docks can be bought at shipyards! You can run them like a factory. Goods are added by moving them to the station. Note that you can set only one price for each ware.

* The collision avoidance has been improved along with the AI in general.

* Advanced players will be able to capture and pilot Khaak ships.

* Escort ships now have smoother, more consistent speed

* Defend against massive Xenon invasions in a new BBS mission.

* Many new filters and additional information in the "Property Owned" menu, and you can jump to the Adjust Station Parameters directly by pressing 'D'.

* Suggested minimum product selling price available in the "Adjust Station Parameters" menu.

* Fewer notifications about enemy attacks on player property.

* Be aware of laser towers! They are much stronger and smarter now.

* Player-owned ships will not leave their homebase jump radius any longer.

* The station information menu now shows you the required resources per production cycle of your factories.

* The Command Console is available in stations, too. Scripters can create new station and ship commands, similar to the ship turret commands (no flight commands).

* Announcements in stations and the eject (Shift+E) confirmation can be disabled in the Options menu.

* Software (including Best Buys and Best Selling Price Locators), Engine Tunings, Rudder Optimizations and Cargo Bay Extensions will not be destroyed any more during fights.

* Police licences will no longer be lost when a 'stray shot' hits a friendly ship.

BUGFIX:

* FIXED: Several rare crashes

* FIXED: Various BBS missions updated, specifically no more negative rewards

* FIXED: Some missing goods have been added to several Equipment Docks

* FIXED: Sometimes the gravidar was not shown correctly when starting a new game or tutorial.
