what i want in X-rebirth

[dlryan]

The most sensible thing one could ask for would be the most logical thing that Egosoft SHOULD've done a LONG time ago.

Make these missions that everybody wants to complete - the ones with the best rewards - I am specificly speaking of the Sector Bidding from X3;R and the Hub Plot from X3;TC.

The requirements to complete those missions are absolutely, positively, out of this world, retardedly absurd.

I have never once finished either of those, because of the STUPID requirements.

As above, it's not like you *have* to do those quests if you don't want to in order to enjoy the game.

Not sure if this has been posted, as ive kind of lost track of all the things people want to see in Rebirth, to some this might be viewed as a step back, but i would like to see save games stored in a user specified directory, ie default would be the current location as normal, but if you chose advanced installation, you could choose to make a save directory inside the XR folder, which would allow people to have multiple installs with seperate saves, so they could run a vanilla game and a modified game side by side, without having to manually make and transfer copies of saves across between directories depending on how they wanted to play that day.

Also look at the various scripts that are used a lot, especially the bonus pack, and inplement versions of those into the base game (assuming theres a need for them) IE have CAG and CLS, EST etc used instad of the basic best buy best sell. Give the player the option to Hire actual Pilots with names for their additional ships, (Now im getting used to them i would like to see all of Lucike's scripts, both his pilots union (CAG/CLS/EST) and his military scripts, Codea/Security and Rescue services etc as part of the actual game, having pilots that can eject and be rescued, and transfered back into other ships adds a whole new dimension to the game for me, I've seen me drop whatever i was doing and jump a rescue force in to protect and rescue a major dealer/wholesaler/captain, and then equip them up with a new ship and send them off again.

Look at the scripts and Mods that have been downloaded the most, the ones that dont unbalance the game, look at what they offer the player, and do an official version(assuming it fits the new game).

The problem with putting a savegame directory inside the X-Rebirth folder is that the user might not actually have the rights to write files there! A different folder inside My Documents I can see being OK, but I doubt it'll happen--I've never seen another game with that feature.

: Mods are great but so is worldwide competition. We need both together in one game. I suggest a form of challenge in which any player can specify a list of mods that are acceptable and/or mandatory within this particular challenge and then register the challenge on the Egosoft site. If you select mods that are popoular with many other players, it is likely that you will get to compete with many others. I would expect many mods that make for better framerate to be accepted (optional) in most challenges. E.G. Complex Cleaner. Other mods may restrict gameplay, such as putting a cap on profits from Nividium mining. As I've grown tired of mapping sectors and installing satellites on every new gamestart I'd personally tend to be accepting of specific mods that do this automatically too. I think this would extend the replay-ability of Egosofts products more than mods alone. Egosoft supplies the game. But players know better than Egosoft how they'd like to play the game, particularly after hundreds of hours of play. We just need the tools to define how we'd like to compete.

: Reloading can be made faster in a couple of ways. Whatever you loaded last should be cached by X:R in a way that is as close to usable as possible. This should get reload time down from 20 to around 4 to 5 seconds. The game can reasonably predict many occasions when you are going to enter some specific sector (like when you command to jump to sector, or when you ship approaches a gate). In these cases, it should start pre-loading the sector as a background (lower priority) task. Reloading the same save over and over is useful for more than just "cheating". It's an essential learning tool. It allows studying of game problems/bugs. And it encourages trying out ideas instead of worrying whether they'll work or not.

It is more than blood, juicy pieces of meat, cruelty and awful shouts from which hair begin moves. As space it not kindergarten, place this rather unfriendly and full of dangers.
P.S. I not the maniac, simply want to see terrible and dangerous space on the present.

Ok to try and clarify what i was meaning, by default you install for example in \Games\XRebirth you the get saves in \My Documents\Egosoft\XRebirth

BUT if you were to install to \Games\XRebirthmod1 It would be nice to get save games for that directory/install in \My Documents\Egosoft\XRebirthmod1

Or you get a choice to specify where you would want to place the saves directory for that install, (again default being \My Documents\Egosoft\XRebirth). So i could set (for example) \Games\saves\Egosoft\XRebirth or \Games\saves\Egosoft\XRebirthmod1

I think the easiest way of doing this would be to link the save directory to what the name of the Installation directory is. So those that install vanilla and stay thay way have nothing they need to do, those that want to play with scripts and mods can do that if they want, those that want to play both ways, and experment wth different mods also have that ability if they choose.

I have enough hard drive space that i can if i want have 4 or more copies of X3:TC installed to different directories/drives, but they are all limited by sharing the save game directory slots.

Another option, give us more than 10 savegame slots with 3 auto saves, and let us name our saves, so we can mark a save game as to which mod its based around, although i would prefer having seperate directories for each save game set.

From the trailer ....

... for those who have the strenght to rebuild what once was ...

This pretty much confirms that Rebirth will be a space sim where trading-building will be a basic aspect of gameplay. Good. Pair that with the trademark eye-candy, and I don't want anything else.

Well, you say, you did not read what others have posted. It's not 15 pages of bulshit, it is other peoples thoughts. People like you. Why should I read what you want, when you clearly say, you don't give a damn about what I want ?

Not that it woud matter much, as the game will be as it will be. I like Blizzard for this, when it's done, and how we imagined it.

In art, and I dare to think creating computer games is an artform, there is no democracy. The best developer does not satisfy particular needs, he creates new needs !
I strongly believe X-Rebrith will be even better than former X games. It is pointless to ask for improvements for X3 to appear in Rebirth. It's not X4. It's a totally new game. Or is it ? We'll see.

I would like X3TC with more Alien Races, more Sectors and more ships but wih less of a demand on machine specifications to play the game so that it can be used by anyone that has a PC of any type, to widen the audience.
Obviously flying and owning any ship that I would like to.
Open ended sandbox game with plots and rewards that can still be gained by not doing overlong plots.
Customisation to use the xsp ships that are already available for a greater degree of customisation.
