X³: Terran Conflict - tutorial video

In a game as complex and elaborate as X³: Terran Conflict, players will of course also encounter quite detailed controls. These were completely redesigned and modified for the last part of the trilogy, in order to offer players the best gaming and space travel experi-ence ever. In order to familiarize amateur astronauts with these new and improved con-trols, Egosoft has created a special tutorial video. Among other things, this video presents the new sidebar controls via mouse and keyboard that make for a clearer structure and better handling. In X³: Terran Conflict gamers may adapt the controls according to their own preferences, and save those customized control settings. In addition, the final in-stallment of the X series can be completely controlled by mouse action only; the tutorial video offers plenty of information about this as well. The management of multiple ships has been significantly improved. Ships are more easily managed and controlled in X³: Terran Conflict due to the newly introduced echelons. Up to 8 echelons can be formed, each containing multiple ships. Each echelon may be given different orders, which are very easy to call. Fleets of ships, almost unlimited in size, can thus be controlled by issu-ing a single order. However, any hard-core gamers and fans of the X³ series who wish to play the new X³ using the traditional controls can still do that. As a matter of course, Egosoft has integrated the option of playing with the accustomed controls in the game as well.

X³: Terran Conflict is a brand new, stand-alone game set in the universe of X³. It is the culmination of the X trilogy, with a grand finale that takes us all the way back to Earth's own solar system. Gamers can take on the roles of different characters in the X universe, or of a Terran military pilot, and experience a multitude of stories in the largest X universe ever featured – for X³: Terran Conflict will offer more missions than any other X game before. Meanwhile, X³: Terran Conflict will pose questions such as: How has Earth changed in all these years? And how will relations between Earth and its counterparts in the X universe develop?
