Timelines neither feels good to play nor does it have much to do with what makes X4 good... this dlc would be better as additional tutorial scenarios. too expensive for what it is. most x4 dlc are good. this is not.

This DLC irks me. I want to like it. Its a neat concept. The execution is awful and I wish spite upon whoever designed this. Should have options for unlocking the content in the sandbox, the missions were neat, but

Poul Anderson's Time patrol is on the way! Thrilling, merciless and and insightful extension for X Universe. I was happy to experience all important X historical events starting from X:BTS to X4 in scenario. The truth

idk I kinda like it. I don't understand people acting like it's the end of the world. The missions, including the races are mostly pretty fun. Unlocks cool ships. Honestly, if nothing else, it's a way to support these

Ai voice acting is very, VERY bad. Forced to play as a black man or a white woman. Story is stupid, missions aren't fun to play. Who came up with this? Last Egosoft purchase for me.
