Ship sizes have been redesigned according to a logical scale. Few contain the internal docking ports of the prior games, instead featuring external docking clamps. The stations are restructured, larger and more detailed. Graphically, Egosoft redesigned everything from scratch. X3 uses a new, specifically developed graphics engine to give highly detailed renders of ships and stations, along with photo-realistic planets and a host of new effects, including lighting, shadow and reflection.
X3 reunion map km to m free#
The player is free to go anywhere in the X-Universe at any time and explore, complete plot-related goals or to fulfil their own personal goals. Most ships seen in the game can be bought or captured, and flown by the player.
Different ships are available for various tasks: small, fast scouting ships freighters powerful battleships and massive carriers for moving a fleet. The main quest can be postponed or ignored as the player explores the expansive universe and spends the most time in control of a ship, doing tasks of their own choosing. The Albion Prelude's Bonus Pack adds an option to use the player's Satellite network as an early warning system, with customizable controls for when and what kind of alert to sound.X3: Reunion incorporates open-ended "sandbox" gameplay. Satellites may also be deployed into combat to improve sensor radius.
The primary function of satellites is to monitor sectors for traffic, particularly hostile traffic to better inform players on safe routes or sending combat patrols. Advanced Satellites have the greatest sensor bubble range in the X-universe. Nav Sats grant 2 km more range than Duplex Scanners and Adv Sats grant 5 km more range than Triplex Scanners. Satellites grant slightly larger sensor bubbles than corresponding ship sensor packages. This assumes the ship you currently pilot has a Trading Extension, without a Trading extension, you may still control your own assets, but may not directly interact with other stations. Any ship or station in a sector permits control and access to sector station services, shipyards for example. Relay satellites are not required to control remote systems, Trading Extensions are. This satellite still has the old features that allow for navigation and information relay transfer. It is capable of video capture technology, a new feature that was developed to keep an eye on stations and ships. This satellite is the next generation of advanced communications. Installing such a satellite is mandatory to control distant systems remotely.Īdvanced Satellite Ware Advanced SatelliteĪdvanced Satellites are longer ranged Navigation Relay Satellites. These satellites transmit all navigational data from the system they are installed in, to your ship computer to allow your universe map to display online information from all ships and stations. This presence coupled with a Trading System Extension allows a player to monitor trading information in the system. Once deployed, the satellite relays a small sensor bubble and acts as a presence in system. Navigation Relay Satellites are products which may be deployed in space.
