If it were an april fools joke I think we'd know by now, I also dont think it would have been a pixelated picture like the twitter post :wink:
The name Farnham's Legacy is also too awesome to be a joke.
So im praying its a double bluff but the wait is killing me.

However, we may have another alternative that you might be interested in. Would you be willing to send us some examples of the ships that you have created for your mod pack, so that we can take a look at them? We are considering a new project involving the X3 series technology, and we would like to see whether some of your ships might be suitable for use in that project. What do you think?
He said that it is answer from egosoft to request for help with x3 modding.

You know this would have been a great text to post yesterday. Today, however, I have to tell you: April Fool Is Past and Gone, You're the Fool for Carrying On! :P
But, but, but the quoted line was and is no hoax. :goner:

As for the 'bad' quality of the screenshot, I would call it pretty decent considering it only took a few minutes in MS Paint. :)
Pretty sure it took me more time to make mine, but I admit I went full Photoshop with that. :D

No not joke. The game already has a Steam page and you can see some screenshots and a trailer. A bit much effort just for an April Fool's joke. :roll:

Ok thanks, now i know that the screenshot is fake and you're trolling.
Not trolling... just a 1th April joke - it's legit, isn't it :wink: ?
Unfortunately, some people don't seem to remember what an April Fools' Joke is. But this certainly was one. :)

For those who really don't know: In many countries worldwide it's a custom to play practical jokes, hoaxes or harmless pranks on April 1st. Playing April Fools' Jokes was a lot more common in these forums back in the old times and it was also a custom to play along if you realised that it was an April Fools' joke, thus helping to fool others. Which is what I tried with the obvious X3FL joke by Egosoft.

As for the 'bad' quality of the screenshot, I would call it pretty decent considering it only took a few minutes in MS Paint. :)

Well... seems the joke wasn't a joke after all.... and we were taken for a ride thinking it was a joke. But hey... thanks for the effort, it was funny - as long as it was still a joke... now it's serious - and I have to figure out how to get from X4 back to X3.... :o

People are so easily fooled. It's an X-COM icon in Steam, can't believe it wasn't noticed right away. :mrgreen:
You can add any .exe to the Steam library, and rename it. Doesn't even need to photoshop...

Maybe people are easy to fool.

But still: who's the fooler, if someone gets fooled by an April's Fools that's actually... Not?
