Tips to improve performance

Turn off any additional software especially any virus scanners, and Internet Explorer and and downloading files. If still slow make sure there is no spy or adaware running. Turn off all anti-aliasing at the driver level. If you do want AA turned on then do this within the game settings but this is only recommended on DX9 or above cards!

To achieve optimum performance an amount of 1GB of main memory or more is suggested! Even more may assist with very high resolutions.


The default graphical settings are:
Texture resolution: HIGH
Shader Quality: HIGH
1024 x 768 32bit full screen
Anti-aliasing: ON
Anisotropic filtering: ON

Selecting “Graphic Resolution” on the X³ load screen allows you to alter these settings from the defaults.

Health Warnings

You may experience these health issues:

- dizziness
- altered vision
- eye or muscle twitching
- mental confusion
- loss of awareness of your surroundings
- inability to leave the game
- Loss of time guaranteed

About X1TP v0.1

Trade. Fight. Steal. Build. Think.

Say goodbye to social life and sleep – there is no time for anything else…

“In a universe of endless violence, your next move could be your last…”

Following nearly one years of development time in the project, the team have produced the ultimate fight for ships of the old era in living space simulations in which to immerse the player.

After the heroics of Kyle Brennan in the universe, many xenon sectors are left in turmoil, the uneasy calm violated by an invading pirate force. Your purpose in life is to survive, but the universe is not as forgiving as that

Graduated learning curve allows for immediate action.
Absolute state of the art graphics engine utilising all the
latest Direct X 9 capabilities.
One Huge dynamic sector to fight in.

Please remember this is the very first version of the mod, we are working on x1tp 0.2, it is not going to be like this mod but rather like normal x3 with trading and a universe .

I'm wanting to keep on adding to X1TP 0.1 with plugins, you may want to make your own scripts/plugins such as scripting the battle better.

One thing i would like to add is a defend the titan mission, so hopefully that will be a later plugin

Congrats on the demo release guys

Looking forward to seeing more

[=DC=Shadow]

hi elffin, I'm happy to see ya post, looks like the mod is not that popular yet .
Did you take a look at the demo?
We don't really have a fulltime scripter and getting one is hard, so therefor the mission may look dull , We could not do what we wanted for the demo in a way.
We did make a few plugins Which changes the stats and loadouts of the ships in the demo to make it harder.

Now some news for all fellow pirates:

The main mod is coming on nicely around 90% of all the ships and the new galaxy in game have been remade and work fine.

It will focus more on trading though as TC and a few other mods seem to have moved away from a bit in my opinion. However The galaxy itself will be more dangerous where death could be lurking anywhere .

This mod will make you think before engaging the enemy as its easy to get fragged and ships are lighter sheilded, HAHAHA.
With a story line to tie in events between XBTF, Xtension and X2 we hope it will do well and fill in the gap, from the pirates perspective.

No Release date yet SORRY
