X2 - The Threat Soundtrack: Akeela's Beacon

I have played many games, but when I tried X3R I realized what this game. And I miss this great game

Akeela, guided by your dream.

This sector, like many, looked better in X² than in X³.

@TimothyParadox1 Oh yes oh yes. I just had a guy from Egosoft tell me the same things. X3 evironments were disappointing, let's hope for something amazing like X2's and Freelancer's in the future.

@Oscy the problem with X3 was that everything had the militaristic design, while that was not noticable in X2 actually, X3 was overhauled with it (just see the many different types of a Nova for example).

Another thing that was missing from X3 is the Japanese atmosphere. That's already healed in X Rebirth though (as seen in the teasers)

@repatomonor21 My major problem was all the different planets and stars designs had been replaced, and we were given a few types of planet which look exactly the same as each other, bar a few, and only one star per system, which was just a distant light.

Plus no clouds or anything, so everything was samey and either void or far too foggy. Nowhere near the awesomeness of X2, or the unique sectors of Freelancer (red giant, neutron star, Dyson Sphere).

@Oscy X3 - TC had potential, or well technology to reintroduce these things, they just refused to. I tried to recreate the old akeela's beacon, it's even uploaded to my channel, but never rly released the mod, mostly because I lost interest.
