Line 75:
*** Ditto ''Albion Prelude''. The forum moderators have basically put a moratorium on pro/con [[Steam]] discussion for the time being because they're tired of dealing with flame wars.
** Some hardcore players were up in arms about how easy it is to get money in ''Terran Conflict'' compared to previous games (read: no longer takes 50 hours of gameplay to get a capital ship) by doing the entirely ''optional'' randomly generated missions.
** Flame wars ensued over a rumor that ''X: Rebirth'' was going to be an [[MMORPG]]. ("It'll be an ''[[EVE Online]]'' [[ItsIt's the Same, SoNow It Sucks|clone]]!" "No, it won't! It'll bring new players!" "No, it won't! It'll wreck the [[Game Mod|modding]] community!"<ref>Come to think of it, it probably would have.</ref>) By far the biggest worry was that it would open the noob-friendly ''[[X (video game)|X]]'' community to MMO Trolls who pwn noobs [[For the Evulz]] and brag about it online. Thankfully, the flames promptly dissipated [[Wild Mass Guessing|when Egosoft stopped laughing]] and confirmed the rumor was false.
*** It should be noted that the idea of an optional multiplayer feature (such as an online arena) was generally fairly well thought of.
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]: Subverted. The opening cinematic for ''Terran Conflict'' claims that races outside the Solar System are experimenting with AGI. The only guy in the game proper doing anything remotely like that is {{spoiler|Marteen Winters, a [[Mad Scientist]] in the Aldrin System who's fiddling with their #deca CPU ship}}. Then ''Albion Prelude'' comes out and turns it into a [[Brick Joke]] with the Argon Federation's artificially intelligent warships.
Line 85:
*** Add to it that the ATF Valhalla is canonically an M0 Battleship. X3 simply doesn't have an M0 classification in its files, thus limiting the Valhalla to being a very slow and deadly M2.
