TRADE, FIGHT, BUILD, THINK
These are the four keywords which stand for the freedom to do what you want inside the X Universe. So there will also be four trailer videos talking about the game features, one for each topic.
BUILD was already released a few weeks ago, and today we added THINK.
Here are the (low quality) Youtube versions, but to seriously watch them, please download the high quality XVID versions from egosoft.com under DOWNLOADS (also available are German localised versions!).

Bobby: from fan to developer
For the next issue of the X Universe News, our regular email to the community, Bernd has asked some of the developers of X3: Terran Conflict to write a bit about their experiences over the past two years. The team that worked on this grand finale to the X series has been the biggest team to work on an X game ever, and the reason for this is that our core team was joined by some guys you may already know. So without further ado, let this series start:
Hi, I’m Bobby Wilkinson, one of the developers of X3: Terran Conflict, although some in the community probably know me better as Syklon, one of the developers behind the XTended mod. Some of the more observant may have already noticed a few XTended ships show up in some of the X3:TC screenshots shown so far. X3:TC includes what we felt were some of the best ships from XTended, which, even after being reworked to look and feel even better, should be familiar to XTended’s wonderful fans, while providing new, fun content for the rest of the players to enjoy. To mention some specifically, I’m sure all of our fans will be happy to hear about the inclusion of XTended’s Frigates (M7) and Heavy Corvettes, but with the massive amount of stuff X3:TC is adding, these are just a drop in the bucket of new stuff for X3:TC.
Before I started working on the X-series, and before I started modding the X-series, I was a player of the X-series, which goes for a lot of the other developers on the X3:TC team as well. If we weren’t making or modifying the games, we were playing them, and that gave us a great mix of ideas for improvement from multiple perspectives. A lot of the new features you’ll see talked about more as we move towards release were things that we, as both players and developers, felt were missing from previous games in the series.
Don’t let the numbering fool you, X3: Terran Conflict is more than just X3: Reunion with a bunch of new ships and missions, although there’s plenty of those as well! You’ve already seen and read hints about some of the new stuff, like boarding parties, bombers, flight wing groups, missile frigates, and a new User Interface, but there’s still plenty more you haven’t heard about yet, like non-player corporations, new and improved mission-handling, military outposts, and a bunch of new weapons. So get ready to find out about even more cool stuff as we get closer to release, not to mention get more details about stuff we’ve already mentioned, because, as both a player and a developer, I have to say X3: Terran Conflict is going to be the best game in the X-series yet.

What is X3:Terran Conflict anyway?
Hi everybody,
some of you may know the X space simulation series for PC. It started in 1999 with X:Beyond the Frontier, followed by X-TENSION, X2: The Threat and then X3: Reunion in late 2005.
Now almost 10 years after the first game was released, we are close to the release of the final chapter of this series: X3:Terran Conflict.
I have asked the guys who worked on this game for such a long time, to write a little about their work, post a few pictures and describe the features of this great new game. We are sure that X3:Terran Conflict will be the best game of the series and probably the best space simulation game today.
The X games have always been about freedom. We provide a universe and the player decides what to do inside of it. TRADE, FIGHT, BUILD, THINK are always printed in capital letters on the box and, everything you can do in the X Universe roughly fits into one of these categories.
To catch up on the old X games have a look at http://www.egosoft.com
This is the X3:Terran Conflict teaser video. It was the first piece of information released early 2008. The next few postings will show, where we went from there ;)
