A Very Short Note...
Welcome to the 31st Edition of the X-Universe News. X³: Terran Conflict was released last week and is now available in stores and on Steam. We are curious about your progress through the game and hope that you like X³: Terran Conflict as much as we do. In the meantime we have not been sitting around doing nothing, and have already created the first update which fixes minor problems and also adds a whole new mission. Not only that but we are holding a competition where you can win a little something.
Anyway, read for yourself. Enjoy!

Stories, Interviews and Info...
New blog entries have been posted. There is one from translators, for example.
In this particular blog entry Alex Vanderbilt talks about his problems thinking like a Paranid and writing corresponding text. You can read about how he solved this and about some of the strange text passages he encountered.
Another translator, "stefanski", talks about the issues you have to solve when translating, and how much fun he had inventing interesting names for new weapons, ships and companies.
Lukas Blumer was responsible for numerous weapon descriptions and also provides some gameplay hints. For example, you should always stand at the right end of a Terran Point Singularity Projector!
Carsten “Cmdr." Baumfalk talks about how he ended up joining the team of translators. He would love to tell you everything about the new Boron plot but he does not want to spoil the fun. All he will say is this: You will meet Humi Wi and Mahi Ma, the two very talented assistants of the famous scientist Bala Gi.
Silvio “Belisarius" Walther had completely different problems to contend with. He only wanted to check a few texts in the new sectors but the gigantic space stations and planets almost made him forget why he was there.
All this and more can be found in the blog. If you do not know our developer blog yet, then go to the following website: http://x3tc.blogspot.com
