Virtual Programming Opens New Areas of Deep Space With X3: Terran Conflict
October 9, 2009 – The X Universe story embarks on a thrilling final chapter with Virtual
Programming, Ltd.’s release of X3: Terran Conflict for Mac OS X. A new standalone game that’s more expansive and open-ended than previous entries in the series, X3: Terran
Conflict features stunning graphics and spine-tingling audio that make players
feel as if they’re really exploring deep space. They’ll undertake dangerous missions, become economic powerhouses, and engage in
conflicts ranging from dogfights between small spacecraft to massive battles
involving fleets of ships.
X3: Terran Conflict continues the X Universe’s story of human, alien, and machine races vying for power — players choose between several different characters, with their selection
slightly altering the plot. The X Universe has made contact with the Solar
System, but Earth is a much different place than it was centuries ago, when a
calamity cut the planet off from a small group of humans.
While exploring the newly rediscovered Solar System and investigating the
robotic Xenon race’s odd behavior, players undertake a wide variety of missions or simply chart
their own course. They can trade resources with some races, while others may
attack players on sight. As they accumulate wealth, players can not only
upgrade their spacecraft and buy new ones but also build factories, trading
stations, weapon platforms, and a headquarter. The game’s persistent universe spins around them the entire time, creating an open-ended
experience that continues after the story ends.
“X3: Terran Conflict is a rousing chapter in the X Universe story,” said Mark Hinton, Virtual Programming CEO. “Its rich storyline, immersive graphics, and dynamic audio create a compelling
experience that draws players in and won’t let them go. We recommend reserving a healthy block of time to experience all
it has to offer.”
“We sell you a universe. Do with it what you like,” said Bernd Lehahn, managing director at developer Egosoft. “We brought the storyline full circle, but we’ve also given players an even larger playground for exploration, trade, combat,
and more. There are plenty of exciting secrets to discover, so fire up your
ships’ engines!”
