His current project Star Citizen is drawing a lot of comparisons to X (and to EVE Online, since it's an MMO).
The change in industry trend has prompted Egosoft to build a new game engine from the ground up for X4: Foundations, one that is multicore- and 64-bit-compatible. X³: Terran Conflict (abbreviated X3TC), is a space trading and combat simulator from German developer Egosoft and is the culmination of their X series of computer games.The latter point in time even happens occasionally before the player finishes all the plots.These two factors make the restart point for an all-plots-finished Terran Conflict player not "whenever I get bored", but "whenever my installation becomes nearly unplayable". To make matters worse, the engine is 32-bit, meaning it can't take advantage of more than about 3 GB of RAM. Then the industry standard changed to increasing computer speed by way of multiple cores in a single CPU, cores that were often slower individually than the single cores the X3 engine worked best on. If the trend of increasing processing power within a single core had continued, we'd have no problems with more player assets slowing games. During the first half of the 2000s, CPU processing power (the main limitation on the game engine) was jumping upwards rapidly, and apart from graphics the X3 engine had barely been updated since its original incarnation in X: Beyond the Frontier.
Technology Marches On: Real Life example for X3.The Stock Exchange is based on a script for X3: Terran Conflict, but is more fully integrated into the game and easier to use. Likewise, much of the new content in Albion Prelude came from Xtended Terran Conflict the M7C Drone Frigates, Yachts, and Heavy Freighters (TS+) first appeared in the mod.

About half of the new ship content in Terran Conflict (Heavy M6 ships, a full ATF ship roster, frigates) originally appeared in Xtended, albeit less polished-up.
