Trivia / X: Beyond the Frontier

• No Export for You: The novelization Farnham's Legend is available in English but wasn't exported to the United States. You can still order it from the Egosoft website through Paypal, though.
• What Could Have Been:
  • The Xenon had their own unused TS and TL ships, the Xenon H and the Xenon I, respectively. However, the Xenon H appeared in a cutscene involving the Xenon Solar Power Plants in Farnham's Legend, at the time a Xenon sector, and the H was also used by pirates. The I would be eventually reworked into the Xenons' heavy destroyers by the time of X3 Albion Prelude, growing even further in weaponry and size in X Rebirth and X4, while the Xenons would finally get their own freighter in the form of the S in Rebirth.
  • The 1998 rolling demo shows there were several changes from the final product:
    • The game was originally going to have over 100 different ships, instead of the 48 in the final game (40 normal ships (10 transport ships of the Community of Planets, 30 military ships of all races, the Xenon BMS M0, the six Pirate Ships (including the pirate Xenon H), the Goner Ranger (referred as Goner Ship) and the X Shuttle.) X-Tension adds 4 more, bringing the total to 52 (The new ones are the Paranid Perseus prototype and the pirate fighters (Orinoco, Bayamon and Mandalay))
    • Weapons were designated as Class-x Lasers, and Shields measured their power in Terawatts (TW) instead of the final game's Megawatts (MW)
