Mods for X3:Reunion?

Hey there,

I've decided to fire up X3:R again. I know I know, there's an expansion out now. However, I'm not really interested in spending more money as Empire:Total War is coming out tomorrow and has taken up my alloted monthly spending on games.

So, I'm looking for a mod for X3:R that adds more missions and possibly random encounters (i.e. some Xenon invasions, wars between the races, etc). I don't really want a total conversion or something that changes all of the ship skins. Just want more "life" in the X3 universe if you will.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

    The Official Egosoft Forums are your best bet for getting mods. They've got pretty much everything that's been released for X3 listed there.

    But really, I think you should look into XTended. It is a total conversion that changes ship textures and whatnot, but it adds so much to the game that it seems to be what you'd be looking for.

    Yeah, I was trying to avoid XTended to be honest...just seems like so much more than what I was looking for...plus to be honest...I actually like the original ship textures.

    Here's a couple of useful topics from the official forum:

    List of community scripts
    Cycrow's guilds

    The guilds add some extra stations to the universe that dish out specialised missions, such as bounty-collection, assassinations and so on. Some other good ones to look out for are the pirate armada, improved Xenon and improved Khaak scripts, that allow the respective races to build up fleets and try to conquer neighbouring sectors. You'd probably also want race response fleets (RRF), too, otherwise the universe struggles to defend itself from the new threats.

    There's bound to be plenty more out there the enhance the experience, but these are just some that I've had a go with myself.
