X3:Terran Conflict has arrived

So, just bought this off GamersGate but now not sure if I want to add it to Steam or not.

If I decide to install a mod or two I'm guessing when it comes to reinstalling the game that Steam will not like the mods and want to download a clean copy of the game?

Are there any mods that are super-recommended for someone new to the X games or is playing vanilla the best start?
(have downloaded a beginners guide and will be looking through that later)

Cheers!
 
Play Vanilla to get your head around navigation and what not before even thinking of gameplay changing mods, GFX mods I'm not sure about.
 
TC is essentially a mod anyway, egosoft 'hired' the XTM team who made the Xtended mod for X3 to make TC while ego themselves focused on TNBT/Rebirth.

This is why a lot of TC's content was already in Xtended, including the additions of-

M7 frigates
M7M missile frigates
M6+ heavy corvette
M3+ heavy fighter
Advanced drones
drone carrier
The complete boarding system
The entire terran side
OTAS corp (named after the head of xtended's cat)
Large corporations

And a whole batch of smaller add ons.

Steam has no problems with mods, you dont even need to download X3 again if you dont want to.
 
I've just whirled up X3TC for the first time in a while but im having an issue whereby it doesn't give any voice notifications for anything that's happening, so no pilots voice when you are being contacted and no computer voice saying what everything is when clicked.

Ive tried all the usual stuff verifying steam cache, turning the voices up etc but to no avail. wondering if anyone else has had this issue and how they solved it?

Take it ur on windows 7 it a problem that some times happens with that have u got any codec's installed and other stuff I know it no help I also have a problem with X3 a little different but the same.
I can play the game fine if I start a new game but if I load my save I get no ship sounds and i'm not starting again =]
 
Ive only got the realtek ones installed i think, its pretty much a fresh install atm. Been browsing the egosoft forums and seems there are quite a few people with similar issues.

One option is to redownload the whole thing again, but ide prefere not to do that as 7gb will take ages :(
 
I totally ruined terran conflict for myself by using cheats. I told myself it would just be five million credits for a nice start... A few clicks later and I had a whole fleet :p
 
Started up the Humble Merchant again last night :D I had forgot just how slow the stock ship moved but I was oooohing and aaahhhhing at the scenery to much to care.
 
Has anyone tried the X3 TC rebalance mod?

I played the game for about 9 hours before my HDD died a while ago. I may download it again and am wondering whether the rebalance mod is a better experience.
 
I haven't tried any mods at all. I would however like one which increased my view distance as it's a little distracting when an asteroid fades into view, interrupts my immersion a bit. Got any tips on that ?
 
Not played X3:TC in ages. I installed and played X3:AP a couple months back but it's too easy to make money with the stock market in the game.

Just had a look at my stats. 6 hours playing time, 14 hours 'flight time' 309m credits with 3 fully loaded super minstrels and 1 TL mammoth.

If I was to do that on TC it would take days to generate that kind of revenue and a lot of hard work.

TC I've got 205 hours played. 4 Super structures spanning across whole sectors, 20+ Universal traders and I make about 1m credits in 1 minute of SETA time.

IIRC I was preparing to take out the xenon sector above Black hole sun (where my main base is) but fully arming my capital ships takes ages :/
