I've been playing it a lot over the last week and it is great fun. I have
nearly 70 million and about another 30 million in assets so far.  Now I never
played the XTM mod really. I stopped playing X3 shortly after it was released
I think but as much as the devs. would have you believe, TC is really X3 with
XTM built in as a paid for product, but the devs. have polished things some
more. There are a lot of new features but one of the core things to my mind is
the modified XTM content.
