X1 The Pirates v0.1

I would like to get the feel of the basics, what i mean by that; no jump drive, make the ships slower (to make them feel old and make space feel big). There is going to be a reduction of sectors than x3. but no jump drive and slower ships is going to make the universe feel bigger. with the less sectors, this means we can get a higher fps and get more graphics into the game and make the universe feel more busy.

Don't you miss (if you played XBTF) the terrifying xenon, not the weak khaak, although there isn't going to be many xenon sectors as kyle wiped them out. the xenon destroyers will be fast like on the old game, on the old game you used to have to dodge the xenon cruisers flying at you. you could probably only get a few shots on them, unless you are rich so you could afford the engine tunings.

Although xbtf was/is harder than x3 or x2, i don't think we will get that level of difficulty. but we will try

I will leave the rest to you imagination.... or until you join the team.

In the 0.1 mod, you are thrown into a overwhelming battle. Its not impossible but can be beaten. This mod is not designed to be played on 24/7 as it is basically one sector. This mod is designed to show off the models, graphics, game play that is to come in X1: The Pirates 0.2.
