this site has now moved to a new web host. Hopefully this should mean faster page loading for you. The initial indications are good.

still a couple of bugs to work out, but other than that I hope this will give Xai Corporation a new lease of life.

Egosoft have release version 3.1.06 of the Bonus Pack for X3. This release includes various fixes and updates for the existing scripts in the BP and 4 new scripts.

1. Cartel Shield Hacker, allows you to steal cargo of other ships using a transporter device
   
2. Group Management System, another Xai Corporation script that allows beter control of groups of ships.
   
3. Group Hotkeys, addon for the GMS that allows you to control groups via hotkeys
   
4. Scrap Ship at Player HQ, reduce a ship to ores, computer components and other resources used to create the ship, which can then be reused or sold.

The long awaited, massive, Xtended-Mod (XTM) 0.7 has finally been released. The guys over at the XTM forums have been working long and hard to update the mod for X3 2.0.x, while at the same time bringing some fantastic new content.

One of the more popular sections on the site is the scripts database. Although there are quite a few scripts, and now mods, listed in it there are still many more that aren't.

If you are a registered member here, this is something that you can help with.

I've just completed some upgrades to the backend of the site. Everything seems to have worked as planned, so you shouldn't actually notice much difference. I took the opportunity to tweek some of the templates, downloads and resource lists so you might notice some minor differences there.

I've got plenty more of these upgrades to come. Hopefully there shouldn't be much interuption to services. When it's all done things should be a bit more streamlined.

I've updated the search box at the top of this screen to use google instead of the rather limited built in search. It's far quicker and provides better results.

Hope you like the change.

Fixing Scripts

I've just opened a new project for tracking bugs and ideas for upgrading the stock scripts that come with X3. I've already released a couple of fixes for the stock scripts, the Jumpsequence fix, !move.movetosector jump enablingfix, and the updates to the buy/sell ware commands for example. Now I want to get you guys involved.

The idea isn't to completly rewrite the scripts, just to fix certain problems or dangerous behaviours and to add new functionality in a simple maner. I doubt very much that stopping the autopilot crashing into things is within the scope of this project, so please don't even suggest it. If you do see something that could have been handled better, please feel free to mention it, and if you've got a quick fix for something, I'd love to see it too.

A long time ago, on an X forum far far away, there used to be a quiz called the Sector Quest where images from X:Beyond the Frontier were posted an we had to work out in which sector it was taken.

I thought we'd have a go a the same thing here for X3. Every week or so I'll post a screen shot here and all you guys have to do is reply with which sector you think it is. If you can prove it, so much the better.

The much anticipated 2.0 patch, codenamed Bala Gi Research Missions, for X3 has arrived.

The patch is available for download from Egosoft's Website

It includes, new ships, new sectors, new weapons, new missions, and The Player HQ super station, which itself includes a few nifty new features.
