It may be possible for you to go at a speed fast enough and in the right direction so that a post made here will be done at the same time as the show's announcement but, in our own frame of reference, it will actually show up a month ahead of time. I wonder if the marketing contract took that into account? ;)

Star Trek might be kinda meh. Starfleet Battles / Federation & Empire, however, would be awesome. Tractor beams, plasma torps, Klingons flying in Klingon ships instead of Romulan ships, scatter pack shuttles, transporter bombs, hellbores, ESG fields, B-10s.... <drool>
Stop showing off your knowledge of the theory of relativity :p

It better NOT be Star Trek game. It should be something like the X series, only with a better engine.

I wouldn't mind a star trek game if it was good.. The IP might make the game more appealing to larger playerbase, which means more profits for Egosoft.

That said, I don't think it's a star trek game, it'll be either an evolution on X lore, or a new ip.

They sure had to much contact with the profit lizards :-P

Now, after so many bad Star Trek games I hope Egosoft does something good for us Trekkies.

Are you suggesting the relativistic effects mentioned earlier are in play here? If you are, then some calculations are wrong somewhere. :)

In all seriousness I did promise some time ago that you all would be the first to know when there is some news on TNBT. So here it is.

And I'm sure we are all very grateful for that.. RIGHT GUYS?! Anyway, from me Thanks :) Can't wait and will be rabidly frothing at the mouth from now till 28 April.

on a side note, if it IS trek related I am sure it will rock ALL our socks off since, after all, it IS Egosoft. If theres is one company that I'll trust on making a kick ass space game in the trek uni then it'll be them.

I'll of course be happy with whatever :D

EDIT: if it's the stargate game I will properly crpa myself

Thanks guys, great news and good luck with the event. :)

Hopefully you can share some of the information post April 28th for those not present (like 99.9% of your fans).

If it is Star Trek related, woulndn't there be any anouncement or article that Egosoft bought a Star Trek licence long ago?

I cannot imagine 'ES' producing a game based around another persons franchise to me that would be a step backwards when it comes to creativity.

I am glad it is not the 1st April too. :D

i kid :D - anything as a space sim with improved AI is a win for me.
AI, gameplay, graphics - in that order!

I think Egosoft learnt their lesson with the 'performance patch' for X-T. Any April Fool since then has been forum related, not game related. If this is part of an April 1 set up, a) they got me, and b) they will annoy a lot of fans.

I agree with a lot of you guys and hope/wish is not a Star Trek game. And like someone said, if ES had acquire the license, it would have been already public knowledge.

Having said that and the fact that it was posted here, I think it has to be the next generation of the X universe....X4 maybe, with more battles or sector/race wars and multiple core support....

Can't wait!

Interesting.

Funny though that the TNBT name stuck. 8)

It has been debated to death on the forums so why not use it for real then. atleast everyone knows at once what this is about. :roll:
