Finally, the AI has been tweaked, particularly during combat. This means the universe will have a more organic layout, which allows Egosoft to create a better sense of varied geography. Sectors aren't arranged quite so predictably any more, with the gates conveniently in each corner. The shape of the universe in X3 will be a bit different. Among the high-end items will be new weapons, including new types of missiles, one new type of laser, and one new type of projectile weapon. There are now different sizes of advanced stations to fix the recurring problem of a high-end item clogging up production queues. Stations used to only offer a single item, but new superstations will make shopping more convenient.
The role of space stations in the economy is also being tweaked. Space stations will also have NPCs you can interact with. In X3, the bulletin boards will have dynamic content based on your actions, as well as the wars waged by the eight different AI races, some of whom will offer optional missions independent of the storyline. The bulletin boards where you picked up your missions used to contain fixed backstory stuff in the form of news bulletins. There are a lot of changes to the way space stations work.
CONFIGURE XBOX 360 CONTROLLER FOR X3 REUNION FULL
"Let's face it, the original interface was mainly keyboard," says Egosoft PR manager Greg Kingston, "which is the kind way to put it." In addition to have full mouse support, this time the keyboard and joystick controls will be completely remappable.
Partly because they're adapting it to a console controller, the new interface will feature fewer long lists in favor of a more icon-driven interface. Fortunately, the game still looks spectacular in its console-friendly incarnation.

Wait why rework the graphics engine when that was something the last game did so well? The answer probably lies in Egosoft's plans to release X3 on the Xbox shortly after it comes out for the PC the graphics engine will have to run on a much different kind of hardware. X2 had rich gorgeous visuals, so X3 will feature a completely reworked graphics engine. X2 had a sometimes awkward economy, so X3 will iron out some of the kinks. X2 had a grimly messy interface, so X3 will be along to tidy it up. X2: The Threat didn't exactly have a satisfying resolution, so X3: Reunion will be along to pick up precisely where it left off.
