I looked at the trailer that was posted. I have already decided to use my change from buying the game to enter one of the stations and get me a table dance. Yeah.

Why is the international version at 44,99Euro but the Steam version is only 35,99Euro? I don't see any differences except the "This version can be activated everywhere. No restrictions." line for the more expensive version.

BTW, it's £35.99 on Steam but if you buy a Steam version from the shop, it's 35.99Euro or around £31.

Me too, I may actually take the time to trade as I never did in the other games as certain elements of the X games pissed me off but this is looking perfect so far.

It looks really awesome but the big question is: Will it support Track IR?

I also noticed in the videos of it there's no radar/whatever you'd call it in the ships.

There's really not much need for TrackIR IMHO. There's little dogfighting, if any, and once you get to the bigger ships, it's a different story altogether.

IIRC, X3TC does support TIR; I seem to remember using it along with my WH but like I've said, never felt the need for it as I'm using the keyboard and mouse anyway.

Well there's no need but it is immersion killing without it. Once you go track IR, you can't go back. smile

I'm ok without trackir here since you've got autotracking future weapons. The game is barely playable with fixed guns. It would be nice, but with the distances here it's not required.

I think I'll have to pre-order this to be sure I get it during the grumpy-as-hell-spending-too-much-money season the last 3 months of the year.

Is it me or does the graphic engine look like cell-shading Borderlands type? I really dislike it, feels cartoonish. Latest X game series looked IMHO much better. Other than that the game is really impressive.

I don't think you can really tell as the videos are not great quality but I hadn't noticed cell shading.

I thought the same thing re: cell shading/borderlands. Let's hope it's not too exaggerated. trackIr does work well in X Albion Prelude so I'd imagine it will work in Rebirth though I haven't seen any cockpit panning in the videos, except for when looking over at the copilot.

Just read that there is no changing ships at all. Anyone know why this has been taken out?

I'd have to disagree... maybe I'll miss it when I start doing more combat, but I've tried it and not really felt it was game-changing. Still, most "cockpits" I've been in weren't really much to speak of...

Going the modular route, eh? It was kind of fun in Darkstar One, but an odd choice for this.

With the latest news, we now know that the game, will be limited to a single flyable ship.
So like we feared, there wont be any flyable capital ship in this game.


It's an old thread though but not finding anything to say it's not the case.

Hmmm... that's dated 2011-2012... I wonder if they kept it so. If they do, it's a crap decision. One thing about changing ships is being able to fly a fast-but-weak fighter or a slow-but-tough corvette. I've not piloted capital ships yet, but would love to. Or sometimes I just want to do my own trade runs.

There's only this ship to fly, which makes sense to me. Hyperion is one of the best choices in X3, so they can't go wrong with this type of ship. Better than a fighter, but more nimble than a capital.

One thing that would make it better is a dockable fighter. They could make more ships in the future, though.

You can still command your fleets, but in a more RTS way.

Guys, read some of the FAQ on the egosoft site...they are gonna allow the player to do a lot of different stuff, including via the use of drones. It's not going to be limited to one ship with a narrow set of characteristics.

Why has the discount gone now? It's at full price of £40.

I'll wait until it comes out as I'm not paying £40 for a PC game I don't what it's like.

I am getting an I-War 2 vibe from this game. I just bought X3 TC and AP off of Steam 2 weeks ago and like it, haven't preordered though since I still don't see enough about the game to make a decision.


One day the West will fall. But if the Liberty for which we fight is taken up by the world then the West will not have failed.

I would like to see more.

I am glad cockpits are back in, and I want to know hoy dynamic the stations first person bit is. Or is it just a placeholder with no real effect in game.

What can you interact with on your ship? When you dock are you magically transported to the "bar" in the station and that is the only bit you can move around?

Looking forward to it as I am a long time x universe supporter, but I am now looking for a bit more out of it.

Nice demo! I'm pretty excited this one will be more playable with the 360 controller. Looking forward to kicking back with this one, I hope the type can be read from further away.
Dogfighting looks a little more doable with controller than before, I hope that's the case. It was hard not to run the mouse for that before.

Wow really liked that demo vid! This looks amazing, and so much simpler than all the menus in X:Rebirth/TC, day 1 buy for me.

Did trading and mining look good?

Temporarily relocated to Brita...
I am really, really torn on this one. TBH I'm stoked about every aspect of it EXCEPT the fact that you can only pilot one ship. Cool, you can do a lot of things with that one ship. Neat, that one ship can be customized pretty heavily...

Doesn't change the fact that the thrill of garnering that sleek new flyable ship is gone. I can't get the same feeling of accomplishment by grinding toward an equipment item, or a non flyable asset, as I do with being able to afford a brand new ship. It detracts from the longevity of the game in my mind as well by not being forced to step outside of your comfort zone and learn a brand new system.

But like I said, it's a toughy cause the rest of the game looks great. May have to wait for a few weeks/months of reviews before taking the plunge.


Ebola for you!

My english is not so good, so i post a review made by a guy in egosoft foruns(Santi)

"It is a very good system, first is the choice, you can trade and mine yourself or you can automate the process. If you hire people to do it, the level they have, will have an impact on profit, as you make money you can hire a better more expensive captain that will be more efficient, wasn't stated on the video if they level up on their own.

Second micromanagement, to trade you have to assign a trader ship to be under your personal command, Bernd in the video uses 5 ships, you can have more or less, they do have different cargo abilities, so there is no universal trader. In the AMA was stated that you will get access to cargo ships pretty early on the plot.

Third, the trading has move to a contract trading, you purchase goods and pay for them to be reserved for you, till your cargo ship picks them up, and you sell them and get paid for it on delivery.
Before, you will check best buy/sell and raced to the factory trying to beat other traders, now you race around the stations collecting contracts, then match the contract that gives you the best profit. Oh and there are lots and lots and lots of different goods to trade with.

Mining, mechanics are the same, but asteroids have different yields and minerals, so if you do it manually, tagging, the pieces you want your mining ship to pick up, you get more bang for your buck, compared to the captain of the ship working on automatic mode, he will fill the cargo bay too, but there will be less good pieces of ore. Of course that changes with Captain level.

Item trading, you remember those traders inside the stations? They are present on Rebirth too, some show on the coms channel too, but now you can go inside the station and trade with them in person, that uses your inventory (the sum of the goods aboard the Skunk, personal items, mission items etc), it is a more personal way of trading, even if relations and discounts still apply, and you can buy and sell and use the Skunk as a trader, but it was hinted that mostly is for loot found in space and stolen goods or scavenged items, it showed a Scrap Metal Merchant, and you could buy and sell from her in bulk."

Is there any word on whether or not it'll be possible to land on planets? I know they couldn't possibly model every planet but I'm thinking it'd be possible for each person's game to auto-generate a planet's environment on the fly and save it to memory.

So far the answer is no. You can land in space stations and in a deck of capital ships
