I didn't forget how to control the game at first and was disoriented and didn't know what I should do then but I copped a bit when I was ckuring on youtube and then not the graphic I found the not so much good but it all went in one f And it is difficult to get it, but irgent-wann is going wrong

I find the first Parts of the X Series have a Cult Status at Fan's even if it is not comparable to today's parts of the Series, they have helped me to become an X Fan and no matter how many Problems the New Games I will continue to have the X Series Stay Faithful and:) me through the Bugs through the Bugs!!!! For every Newcomer, the First Parts are important to understand what's at stake in this Series (Story) But when I played that again today I realized that's damn long ago when I played the Game and is again a Lording challenge with the Controls k Lar to come and every Together Bump inevitably ends with the Game Over xD!!!

X-Tention is the direct Successor to X – Beyond the Frontier and thus also a space trade simulation from the German Company Egosoft. X-Tenttion picks up exactly where X – Beyond the Frontier left off. The Events of the Predecessor are over and the prototype jumping ship is repaired, but the Main Character does not want to sit around idly, so he asks the Argons for a Ship so that he can meet old Friends and experience new Adventures. Basically, X-Tention is more of a Trading Sandbox compared to X –-Beyond the Frontier because a Main Plot Is completely missing. While there are some Missions that can be accepted at different Stations, there is no proper, consistent Main Plot. Still, there's more of the Old with a few Innovations. On the one hand, the System has evolved and grown larger. On the other hand, other Ships are now allowed to be Pilotated and not just tied to one Type of Ship. Whether Freighters, Hunters or other Ships of different Breeds, what is offered for Sale in the Space Port can usually also be used. But it is not only in the Universe that Something has happened, but technology also makes it far more than before. Graphics and Sound have undergone a small Improvement and some comfort features have also been adapted, improved or introduced. For example, Solar Power Plants can now also be supplied with Vans. Otherwise, since not much has happened compared to X – Beyond the Frontier, there is not much left to say at this Point, except that X-Tention is something for all those who simply didn't get enough of Acting in the first Part and want to expand their Empire further. However, If you need some Action to Motivate, you should move on To X2: The Thread, the next Part in the Series.
