Looking forward to the "first contact" Dead-is-Dead reports in the AAR section! *hinthint* Meaning AARs of players taking on the campaign without any extensive training and/or exploring. I actually consider it rather daring to make such a release on a Friday - may make for a rather uneasy weekend if something serious pops up... Their new Rebirth Technical Support forum sections seem to grow significantly faster than the others; but I can't comment on the "quality" of the reports, as their forum keeps failing on me

Well the CE content downloaded: Video quality - Good Audio quality - Meh - Stereo 16/48kHz, not worth wasting a Bluray disk on and the file is slightly too large for a standard DVD - 43kB too big, not a happy camper there. Right got a few minutes to try the game now as the wife has just gone out

I almost bought the game yesterday. Then I reminded myself of my experiences with the series on release and decided against it. Waiting for more first impressions. I love the X series but Egosoft has a habit of releasing their games a tad unfinished IMO.

Thanks for the info guys. Still going to wait on purchase then. Need more info on the "self levelling" and the HOTAS issues. I am sure the HOTAS side of things will be recitified fairly quickly (one hopes)

I'm getting scared to buy ANY game at release now. People will have a VERY hard time getting me to pre-order anything ever again. I'm not big on space games, but the trailers and premise of this look interesting. Was just ducking in here to see what people thought about the game. Steam forums are the usual combo of scary and infuriating...
I refuse to buy a flight sim that I have no interest in playing, on the off chance that MAYBE someday they'll make the one I really want to play.

...and it doesn't help that the Egosoft forums have been down for several hours now... on release day. Not really professional. I'm sure a lot of people would love to browse the official forums for some 1st impressions instead of wading through the cesspool that are the Steam forums.

Well, technically the forums are not down but overloaded. I managed to get in sporadically. E.g. I mentioned the fast-growning Technical Support sections - that was basically two posts that were replicated 5 and more times. Reported isssues were crash/hang-up due to sound settings (alicatt mentioned something regarding 48kHz) and performance.

Only got to start it and run 30mins before work today, for me there was no crashes, performance is working fine at 1080p 4xAA, and the XB360 controller is working great (I never used HOTAS in the past and don't plan to this time either). Too early to give first impressions since I am still getting used to the new mechanics and highways (and no SETA), so far so good for me, but the steam forums seems to have people having performance problems and the expected others who didn't buy it and want to crap on it due to the new softer focus. So I think for any of you on the fence I would wait a few days to let the initial typical EGOSOFT launch issues shake out and to see the reviews, for me it is working ok and I enjoyed what I played so far, looking forward to diving in later today.
