They sure had to much contact with the profit lizards

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

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.

- 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.

i64man · Post by **i64man** » Tue, 29. Mar 11, 12:31

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.

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.

Well lets hope that long build up to reveal = short build up to release.

Ego have said before the reason they do this is because they don't want to give release dates until they're 99% sure they can hit them.

I'm struggling to follow the logic here. Not only is at least one other thing that day not Star Trek related (the Star Gate thing you mentioned), I don't recall there being a rule that all the things that happen on a particular day have to be related to each other.

Now, while I'll say that I know no more about TNBT than the rest of you, I think the chances of it being Star Trek related are approximately equivalent to my chances of sprouting wings, flying to the Moon, and finding it's actually a giant balloon left there by alien intelligences far beyond our ken...

X2-Eliah · Post by **X2-Eliah** » Tue, 29. Mar 11, 13:13

Soo, by the way, are we talking of an reveal like "Also, Egosoft is developing a game with title --------, more to follow" or "name ----, genre ----, brief info -----, eta -----, takes these things after last games, new things: ----"?

Cablefish · Post by **Cablefish** » Tue, 29. Mar 11, 13:28

Okay lets get some more intelligent speculation going on here.

I too find it highly unlikely that TNBT will be star-trek related. It's simply not likely that egosoft will start buying into another well established franchise that deepsilver has little or no affiliation with.

However from the book in the superbox we know that the lore ends up with the jumpgates shutting down and the races of the X universe is now stuck and starting to communicate. This leaves tons of room for exciting new plot developments for new games.

Anyone who cares to guess to the possibility of an X-universe MMO? It seems quite likely that theres room for some new sci-fi mmo on the market as companies grow more and more bold and straying further and further from the WOW-clones.

I think the future of the X series will be something online. It may not be an MMO in the strictest sense but it might just be interesting anyway
